Myra was Ben's (aka: Harry) second wife, born 16 Jan 1890, Coryell County, TX. She had another marriage to a Willis Palmer London 20 Jan 1906 Macomb, Tecumseh, Oklahoma (who was actually her third husbands cousin), and interestingly died 15 Sep 1915, Techumseh, Pottawatami, Oklahoma; with whom three children were born: Ina Irene London 1915, Ruby Opal London 1911, Sydney Palmer London 1907.
Ben and Myra married around 01 Jan 1906, probably in CA I haven't filled in those blanks yet and had five more children: Paul Harrison Lewis, 1919; Helen Delores Lewis, 1920; Connie Louise Lewis, 1922; Inez Lewis, 1924; and James Dale Lewis, 1926.

I have recently learned that "Myra's" Maiden Name was BELLAH, born to John Sidney "Sid" BELLAH and Annie A "Fannie" BROWN of Coryell, Texas. James B TILLERY was her stepfather and she and her sister took his name in 1900 Census.
She was first married to Willis Palmer LONDON, 20 Jan 1906, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Oklahoma and had three children:
Sydney Palmer London 1907,
Ruby Opal London 1911 (#35774928),
and Ina Irene LONDON in 1915 .

Paul Harrison LEWIS (1919-1999),
Helen Delores LEWIS ZELINSKI (1920,
Connie Louise LEWIS BUSHKA (1922-1995),
Before traveling back through Arizona Inez LEWIS JOHNSON (1924, to California and having James Dale LEWIS (1926.

Myra and Pearl were the daughters of Anna Brown and James Tillery. You can see them living together in the 1900 Census of Falls County, Texas. Anna subsequently married John Bellah (don't know what happened to Tillery), which created the blending of the Tillery/Bellah families. Neither Pearl, nor Myra took on the Bellah name. I believe the "Fanny" in the 1900 census is a typo. Note that "Almyra" is also spelled wrong.
