Lula married William Alfred Curl on 15 Nov 1908 in Sabine County, Texas. William (son of Oliver C. Curl and Rebecca Griffin) was born on 26 Jul 1883 in Texas; died on 11 Nov 1964 in Jasper County, Texas; was buried in Gravel Hill Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Kary Parker McCary shows he married Ethel Marie Speir (1908-1964) who is also buried at Gravel Hill Cemetery. Did he also marry Nina Ethel Ludlow? She is shown as his spouse on FindAGrave, born 1894 Sabine County, died 1962, and buried int he Fairmount Cemetery. Nina Ethel is shown as a daughter of John L. LUDLOW, and she and Elisha are shown as the parents of Orval Valentine BOYETT (1919-1975), buried in Gravel Hill (Orval's Find A Grave Memorial Number is 81514854).

These families should be examined closely, as it is possible that the two Ethel's are being confused or conflated. To add to the confusion, Donley Burl Boyett, the brother of Elisha, is ALSO linked by FindAGrave to Ethel Marie Speir (1908-1964).
