Mary Ellen COX (b. 17 Jan 1896, AL; d. 2 Oct 1976, Grand Prairie, DallCtyTX; Find-A-Grave 90782910, TX)   Notes: Josh P. Sorrels was listed as "divorced" on his death certificate. Vardemon Ayers was shot and killed by this brother-in-law, Lee Sorrels. Vardamon Ayers Dies (From Saturday's Daily Leader) Vardamon Ayers who was shot by his brother-in-law, Lee Sorrell Wednesday evening, died at his home near Topsey, about one o'clock this morning from the effects of the wound in his chest. It was thought for a time the he had a chance to recover, but owing to the intense shock and the condition of the weather the wound proved fatal, Ayers living about sixty hours. As soon as the news of the man's death reached the city, County Attorney Arnold, Sheriff Morriss, and Justice of the Peace John Nichols left for Topsey where Judge Nichols held an inquest over the remains. Before leaving town, Sheriff Morriss went to the jail and informed Sorrell of the death of Ayers and asked him if there was any statement he wished to make. Sorrell declined to talk. This is the first murder that has occurred in Lampasas county in fifteen ears and has shocked the entire community inexpressibly. It is learned that the affair started over a dispute as to who could chop the most cotton. Ayers was unarmed when shot. The dead man's wife, sister of Sorrell, who did the shooting, was a witness to the tragedy, and Sorrell's brother was also present and attempted to stop the quarrel.
