I forgot about using a Soundex search for Cora. After your helpful posting, I did find her death date, and was able to obtain a copy of her death certificate.

Cora Wahrmund was born 08 Feb 1881 in Texas to William Wahrmund and Elsie Hopf (Heff on the DC). William died in 1885 at the age of 40, and Cora and her mother don't appear on the 1900 census that I can find. It may be that the mother remarried.

Cora married Doctor Robert Taliaferro Bolyn around 1906. The family appears in Runnels County, Texas on the 1910 census, and in Norfolk County, Virginia in 1920. (Doctor Bolyn was from Virginia).

On April 29, 1925, Cora died as a result of a gunshot wound to the front of her head. Her death certificate doesn't say suicide, so no assumptions should be made. Cora was buried April 30, 1925 in the "New Lutheran Cemetery" in San Antonio, Texas, which is, I believe, St. John's Lutheran Cemetery.

Thanks for the lead...it was tremendously helpful.
