I'm not sure if Jeffrey / Jeffries is Ola's second given name or a previous married name. The 1900 census shows that she and George had been married for 10 years and and present in the household is a girl, aged 7 years, identified as George's daughter. But the marriage record I found for George and Ola shows they married in 1907, and her last name appears as JEFFREY, although her death certificate shows that her maiden name should be WILLIAMS.
Meanwhile, George's first wife Georgia is in a separate household on the 1900 census and reports that she is married. Apparently she and George had split but perhaps they never divorced, so even though George and Ola were living together as husband and wife, they couldn't legally marry until after Georgia's death in 1905? That's speculative though.
1900 federal census of Ward 1 Militia District 773 (Upper Town District), Columbus, Muscogee County, Georgia, Dwelling #253 / Household #296, residing at 1605 Third Avenue (all ABNEY): George (51, born Sept. 1848 AL AL AL), married 10 years, bailiff; wife Viola (27, born Sept. 1872 AL AL AL), married 10 years, had borne 2 children, 1 of them still living); and daughter Durvie (7, born May 1893 GA AL AL).
