Va., finished his growing-up years in Grayson Co., TX, where he encountered a Noland girl named Ona, ten years his junior, & married her ca. 1894-95 before he 'went off to war' -- the Spanish-Amer. War, in which he died on 2/18/1896, leaving no children. Now this John W. Varley had a younger brother Will (Wm. D.) Varley the same age as Ona (actually, she was a little over 2 mos. older than Will), and the young widow & sister-in-law turned around & married him! Then she died in Jan. of 1903, per her Macomb[*] tombstone (but I didn't know it was in a house fire!), childless. She is buried at MaComb Cemetery beside her first husband John W. Varley. Will Varley went on to marry a woman named Vera and is buried elsewhere, presumably beside Vera. In fact, the only children of Capt. John buried with him and their mother at MaComb cem. are the 2 sons who died in the Sp.-Amer. War, John W. & Earl C. -- and Ona! (Ona's sister or cousin Anna Bell Noland married Capt John's son Chas.
