Annie Myrl Coyle, R. N.

Notes:

From FindAGrave:

FindAGrave shows her as a daughter of Marion Howard Coyle and Annie Wright Coyle. It also shows her date of birth, presumably in error, as 4 Jan 1926 in Buna. A photo of the tombstone was not shown, so the date that was engraved on it is not known with certainty. The Texas Birth Index lists this date of birth of Annie Myrl Cayel as 4 May 1926, and parents as Howard Cayle and Annie Wright. The SSDI aslo lists her birthdate as 4 May 1926. Her name on that was Annie Green.

Myrl McNaughten Green Franzke passed away at her residence in Buna.
