Armettie married James Cooper between John Silas Blaney and Jacob Meyers on June 25 1888. He left her with a son Milton Cooper. Armettie could not read and years later she had a family member read some letters she had kept from the time she was married to Cooper. The letter told of a affair he was having and explained why he left. Not sure she ever heard from him again. Jacob Meyers raised Milton and John Silas's kids along with the Meyers kids he and Armettie had together
