I went to the Bell County Clerk's Office today for someone else and decided to see if I could find these ladies. This is what I found: Maggie D. Coons (may not be Margaret since the initial is different but this lady and Ellen were both married by the same minister) married Robert Waggoner 1 Aug 1882; Ellen J. Coons married H. H. Cremer 24 Dec 1888; ALice Coons married I.B. Warren 16 Apr 1890; and Minnie married W. E. Caswell 24 Mar 1899 all in Bell Co. I found all of them except Maggie in the 1900 and their mother, May R. Coons, was living with Minnie in Belton. May noted that she had still had 4 of her 7 children living. In the 1910 census I found Minnie and Alice but not Ellen or Maggie. I found all but Maggie in 1920 and then Minnie and ALice in 1930. May was still living with Minnie in 1910 but not in 1920. I did not find her in the death records but then I didn't know to look for May.
Alice ended up having 8 children and at least 3 step-children. Minnie had 4 children, and Ellen had at least 3.
In 1920, Alice and Minnie lived next door to each other. If I find more, I'll let you know.
