Phil,
I remembered yesterday that I do have some information
from Cedar Co., MO at the Polk Co. Genealogy Society here at Bolivar, MO where I live, without having to drive the 20 miles to Stockton, Cedar Co., MO for detailed information.
Marriage records can be obtained at the Circuit Clerk & Records Office at the Cedar Co. Courthouse, Stockton, MO 65785.
Here is what I found this morning at PCGS:
Buried in the Mound Cemetery, S. 21, T. 35, R. 27, Cedar Township, Cedar Co., MO. are:
Bluford Fortney1894-1919
George K. Fortney1860-1943
Rhoda E. Fortney1862-1943
So, your supposition that Bluford Fortney died, and the daughter of Mary Richard McAlexander, named Myrtle, remarried after the death of Bluford Fortney looks better all the time. Perhaps, if you contact the records division at the Cedar Co. Courthouse, you can verify your excellent guess.
