Thanks to Sheila for helping us piece together more information.
After William Johnson passed away in 1942, Becky married a Peter Nicely. Peter must be the "Pitti" in the photo to the right since this photo is taken in 1948.

Also note photo of headstone, courtesy of Sheila. Rebecca is spelled "Rebckie".

Note: I feel very lucky to have what photos I have of the Brogan line. These photos belonged to my grandparents Dave and Caroline Brogan Miller and then were passed down to their sons Tom and Ruble.
In a note from Myrtle Brogan, wife to Becky's brother George, she mentions trying to find some photos for me and states that photos that Herbert had burnt in a house fire. I'm thankful we have been able to save a few over the years!
I spoke to my dad a little about his "Aunt Becky". He said they had lots of children, but he seldom got to see his cousins since they lived miles from them. Dad said you didn't travel alot back in those days.

It would appear that both Peter and William were buried beside their first wifes. Peter Nicely's first wife had many family buried in Burch Cemetery where Peter was also buried. Becky would choose to be buried in her family Brogan cemetery.
