Comment Detail: Source notes that John Luther Butler married Cathana Reed. The only date reference notes that six children were born to this union, implying the marriage occured before any of the six were born. (Daughter Johnie was born in 1944 when he was 18, so this is currently presumed to be the oldest child.)
