Wow! Thank you for this post. I hadn't a clue that Corabelle married a Samuel C. Carr in OH. What record do you have of that and did you find a divorce record?
She married George W. Piner supposedly around 1912 in England. I have been unable to find a record or confirm this. She died Jul. 31, 1952 in Lake Co., CA. George died in Lake Co., CA Jul. 29, 1952. I guess she could not bear living beyond him and just gave in.
Her parents' pictures are located in the Lake Co. Museum in Lakeport, CA. I tried to take photos of them, however, they didn't turn out too great. Do you have pictures? What about picture of Cora when younger?
As you probably discovered there was quite a scandal surrounding Cora when she was married to Charles Tannehill. I have found newspaper articles describing the time she ran off with a traveling musician - quite messy.
Charles Victor Tannehill died May 22, 1917 in Muskegon, Michigan.

Dr. Tannehill was a member of the Hicksville, 0. Masonic lodges and of the Muskegon lodge No.271, B.P.O.E.

The funeral will be held this afternoon at 5 o'clock at the residence privately. Rev. Walter S. Tunks, rector of the St. Paul's Episcopal church will officiate. The body will be removed to Hicksville for burial.
Dec. 24, 1878 he married second Ellen/Ella SWILLEY. They had one son, Charles Tannehill born June 5, 1879 Hicksville, OH. He also died in Muskegon, MI.
Sad that Cora's daughter, Gladys died not too long after she was married.
Please send me your email address through my email address so I can send you the picture.
Thank you for any further info you can provide.
