Fulton County, Georgia marriage records show "Miss Elizabeth Redford Reynolds" married "Mr. Ira Milton Bame" on 26 April 1912.
According to the funeral home record, Elizabeth was a victim of influenza (she died during the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-1919). Her twin sister Minerva(Reynolds) Olley had died a few months earlier of pneumonia, most likely also a casualty of the pandemic.
Interestingly, there was a funeral notice for Elizabeth in an Atlanta newspaper that said she would be buried in Atlanta on January 21st, but the Oliver Bair funeral home (Philadelphia) record indicates that that didn't happen - instead her body was transported north on January 21st, and on January 24th she was interred in the same plot in American Mechanics Cemetery in Philadelphia as her twin, Minerva (Reynolds) Olley, both her parents, and other family members (Source A.M.C. plot record and funeral home record).
All burials were disinterred from A.M.C. in 1951 and moved to other cemeteries.)
