    Notes 
    • Luther Williamson and his cousin Grace Ellen Gentry were fond of one another and used to correspond.

      He married (1) Edna Beatrice ??? b. 4 Sept 1905 d. 28 Dec 1987 (2) Ilma C. ??? b. 22 Dec 1904 d. 10 Dec 1959 and (3) Beulah ??? b. 12 Apr 1905 d. 22 May 1983. He is buried next to Ilma in the Rose Hill Cemetery in Carter County, Oklahoma. His grave marker shows: FS Texas, Pfc., Co B, 359 Inf. -- WWI

      ?b?In April, 2006, Lynell Gentry sent the following email about Luther Williamson: "Luther is confusing because of the Ardmore City Directories showing him with Edna in 1935 thru 1955 or so. He's listed as a postal worker and that matches with his obit. But, in 1957 he's listed with llma and then she died in 1959 so he's alone the next years and then Beulah is listed in 1968. Looks to me that Ilma should be there in the early years if they married in Wise Co. in 1919. Unless.....Ilma (don't know if those are L's or I's (eyes) but maybe it sounds like Edna?
