Notes
- Luther was enumerated as the last child of his parents in the 1900 census.
1900 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 13 June, Civil District 17, Enumeration District: 55, page 8A, Hse/Fam #133
Strange, William Mc Head H W M Apr 1871 [error, he was in the 1870 census] 29 Married 8 yrs TN TN TN Farmer Rents
Strange, Eliza A Wife W F Aug 1872 27 Married 8 yrs 4 children, 3 living TN TN TN
Strange, Sarah E Dau W F Feb 1898 2 TN TN TN
Strange, Luther R Son W M Jan 1900 5mos TN TN TN
Note that no child named Luther appears in the 1910 census. Luther, born in January 1900, would have been 10 in January 1910. A family acccount of the chidlren was provided to me by a grandson of William Mack and Lizzy (Eliza). This clarifies that Luther died in 1900.

A cousin, who died several years ago, gave a handwritten list of births and deaths for the children of Wm. M. Strange and Lizzy Strange ,nee Holbert. After comparing the list with census information, I believe the information to be accurate.
Child Born Died
1. Gracie 1893 1899 (a)
2. Oscar M. 1895 1960
3. Sara A 1898 ? Sara A. (Alla?), was known to me as Aunt "Elle"..
4. Luther 1899 1900 (b)
5. George E. 1900 1983
6. Not known 1902 1902
7. Eli 1904 1964
8 James 1907 1923
Notes (a & b): 1900 Census for Lizzy Strange, Mother, listed 4 born & 3 living children. I am inclined to believe that Gracie died prior to census and Luther afterwards. That would account for the 4 born and 3 living notation.
