Marriage book C, Page 134, Lawrence County, Mississippi, contains a license application that includes the following: Personally appeared before me the under signed circuit clerk of Lawrence County, State of Mississippi, D. C. Wallace who says on oath that he was authorized to say to said clerk that the parents of Miss Myrtis Brewer does not object to the marriage of their daughter to Mr. Charley Tyrone. Sworn 10 April 1900 and signed D. C. Wallace. J. M. Bass, clerk, issued license that day.

EXPLODING CARTRIDGE WOUNDS MONTICELLO WOMAN - Monticello, Mississippi, January 12, 1935 - Mrs. J.D. Ham narrowly escaped serious injury when she was painfully injured by the explosion of a .22 caliber cartridge in a heater in her living room at the family residence here. The explosion of the shell cut her left knee on the knee-cap, severing an artery. Her brother, Dr. O. C. Brewer, was called in for consultation with Dr. J. W. Wilson, local physician, who states that unless unforeseen complications arise, she would recover from the unusual accident in a short time. It is supposed that the cartridge was accidentally thrown in the waste basket and on into the stove.
FUNERAL SERVICES HELD AT MONTICELLO FOR MRS. J. D. HAM - Services for Mrs. Myrtis Brewer Ham, widow of J. D. Ham, who died at the King's Daughters' Hospital in Brookhaven late Thursday afternoon, were held at four Friday afternoon, at the Baptist church in her former home town of Monticello.
