They were married for about 3 years or less before he died. Both, Omer Rachel and Susan Fowler White, died about 1948 and very shortly after that Milton and Aunt Omie married. They lived on one street over from where I lived and my mom still lives, until Milton died in 1951. I thought he died in Maud, but they could have moved to Witchita Falls before he died, I can't remember. I know he is buried there beside his first wife, Susan. Aunt Omie died in a Texarkana hospital in 1970 and is buried next to Uncle Omer Rachel in Center Ridge in Maud. Omie and Milton were up in age when they married and did not have children. All the children listed under Omie are Rachels. I hope they were not listed as Milton and Omie's children. The reason I know this much, is because my mother was a Rachel and Uncle Omer was her father's brother.
