I believe that Martha's parents were Emerson Strunk and Nancy Jane
Tucker
and that Martha's date of birth was March 1, 1869 in Pulaski County.
I have the marriage certificate for Mayme Sellers. It shows
she was born
August 14, 1897 in Pulaski County, her
present residence was Dugger,
Indiana (Sullivan County), Father: Sherman Sellers born Pulaski
County,
KY, Mother: Martha Strunk born Pulaski County, KY, both living in
Dugger,
IN. She married Gilbert Kluesner born April 25, 1892 in Perry
County,
Indiana son of Fred Kluesner (deceased) and Jane Critchfield living
in
Dugger, IN. They married on August 1, 1914 in Sullivan County
by Robert
Kirkham, J.P.
Minnie Sellers (my grandmother) married Arthur Wilson son of William
Wilson and Catharine Murry in Vigo County, IN on March 4, 1922 by
James
P. Madigan, J.P. Minnie died September 2, 1985 in Clinton,
Vermillion
County, IN. Arthur Wilson died November 10, 1962 in
Indianapolis,
Marion County, IN at the VA Hospital. Sometime after Arthur
died Minnie
remarried to Peter Voyzey. I'm not sure when but Peter died
before she
did.
Chester was married to Georgia ? (don't know what her last name was.
Then he married Freida ? (not sure what her last name was).
Chester died
October 20, 1981 in Terre Haute, Vigo County, IN.
I don't have any information on Leonard and Harry yet. When I find
out
something on them I will pass it along.
