New info found Nov 2023:
* Given that Green's 1st wife, Nannie Washer, died in 1929, this appears to line up
* Per Florida, U.S., County Marriage Records, 1823-1982 and Florida, U.S., Marriage Indexes, 1822-1875 and 1927-2001, a 77-yr-old Greenville V Murray, Jr. married 62-yr-old Maggie Shelton Lowe on 22 Nov 1932 in Pinellas County, Florida, USA
* It has been challenging to run down Maggie's history, but, to my findings, she was born in Aug 1869 in Spotsylvania, Virginia to a young single-mother, Mary Shelton. Over time, we see Maggie in an Orphanage, then working as a Servant in Washington, D.C. She also appears to have married multiple times, to FNU Carpenter (between 1910 and 1917), then William S Lowe (20 Jun 1917 in Washington D.C.) and finally to Green Murray (22 Nov 1932 in Florida). Maggie died 16 Sep 1960 in a St Petersburg Nursing Home with no known living relatives.
