This is likely Bessie Ora BLAKE (FSID GXPJ-BS4), md. to Tapley Burton GOLIGHTLY (FGID 107183161 / FSID LKZT-BRH). No marriage records have been found, so remains unproven.
Father: Rufus Arch or Arch Rufus Blake (FSID 9ZSL-CFT, possibly FGID 92772534, unproven)
Mother: Penny Clara or Clara Penny Lynn (FSID MJ76-J2L)

image 640, Bessie (Wid TB) retd h2431 Sunset Av
(Note "Widowed TB" = Tapley Burton, "h" means homeowner)
same address on 3 documents confirms md. to Tapley
Tapley's and Bessie's headstones at Restland, while seperate, are nearly identical in design.
1950 Census, Dallas
Bessie & "JB", Real Estate dealer
While this might be Tapley's brother Jennings Bryan Golightly, I think it's more likely the "J" is actually a "T". Jennings md. Robbie Chapman and lived and died in San Antonio
Grateful you add this to biography. I would not connect her to Tapley until marriage record is found. -sksmith
