Date of marriage to Beatrice conflicts with date of divorce from Nancy. Further research is warranted.
brief biography and family
From an unidentified source:
In 1921, Doss went to work at the Linen Thread Company in nearby Anniston, where she met Charles "Charley" Braggs at age 16. Braggs wooed Doss and met with the approval of her father. Nannie married Braggs within months and moved in with him and his mother, whose temperament matched her father's; the couple would have four children in quick succession. The marriage had disintegrated drastically by 1927, and this period seems to mark the start of Doss's murderous habits. That year, two of the children died mysteriously after eating breakfast; their deaths were attributed to food poisoning. After being warned anonymously not to eat any food his wife prepared, Braggs left with their oldest daughter, Melvina, leaving newborn Florine home with Nannie and his mother. He would earn the dubious distinction of being the only husband not to die at the hands of Nannie. They were divorced in 1928. Braggs returned with Melvina and a new love interest in late 1928, and Doss took her daughters and moved back in with her parents, working in a local cotton mill to support herself and her children.
