William B. MERONEY
Dicy C. S. CHAMBLER

WARNING: I have no direct evidence proving that the William B. MERONEY who was son of Rufus M. MERONEY is the W.B. MERONEY who married Dicy CHAMBLER, but I find no other MERONEY in all of Georgia who comes close. So, while the evidence is circumstantial, I don't doubt the connection is valid.

It is not surprising that Dicy calls herself a widow when, in fact, she is divorced. There was a considerable social stigma against being divorced, so it was not unusual for a divorced woman to say she was widowed. My own grandmother did so in the 1900 census. Note that Eve/Evie is now Moroney, as she should have been in 1900.

9. 1920 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com): can't find Dicy, at least not as Dicy TYNER.
