Found Betty's Sister

Betty Cooper's sister, Rebecca, was next to Betty in birth order.  We knew she married G. W. Lane.  He was Sarah Emily Melvin's son.  Sarah married Jacob Powell, Henry's son.  We don't know how she and Lane split but we did not think he died.  Sarah Melvin was Henry Powell's second wife's daughter.  I bet Betty Cooper met Richard Powell through Rebecca Lane.  We had found Rebecca and G. W. in 1880 with two sons and we thought they died, but Fred lived and had children of his own.  Rebecca and G. W. moved to OK.  She died in 1931 and is buried in Osage County.
This is her record from Find a Grave.  G. W. Lane lived until 1939.  Fred died in 1923, but he had two children Virgil and Verla.
Name:Rebecca Lane
Birth Date:3 Jun 1858
