  Father	James Edwin Gentry,   b. 25 Mar 1869, Johnson County, Texas ,   d. 16 Jan 1950, Duncan, Stephens County, Oklahoma  (Age 80 years)

  Married	Abt 1891
  	Lynell Gentry Cordell writes that "Zada Trawick's family was also in Wise Co., Texas in 1880. I wonder if John M. and Pamelia could have moved there after the 1880 census and Zada and Ed met and married there in 1890/91. Preacher William, possibly in need of care, his wife having probably died, could have been there around that time also." It is also possible that they married in Oklahoma, her obituary saying she had been a resident of Alma and Duncan since 1889.
