Myrtie Mae Lee was the daughter of John H. Lee and Lucinda Alexander (Smith )
She was a very smart and beautiful lady, who had just won an academic schlorship to college after graduation from Rodessa High School. On a outing with friends and family in Jefferson Texas at the home of her Aunt Emma Woodell she saw another school mate in distress and tried to swim out to save her. The girl paniced and pull her under with her. Myrtie Mae drowned that day while my mom was held on the bank watching her sister drown. They wouldn't let my mom go in because she could not swim a lick.
