Notes:

  • On the Arizona Cert. of death, William Windham's parents are listed as James Windham and Laura Jones. It is also stated that William was born in Miss.

  • It is my assumption that these two Windham men in Gila County, Arizona, are brothers.

 

2. James Lodrick "Jim" WINDHAM Jr.  (b. 25 Mar 1865, CallCtyTX; d. 15 Dec 1943, GilaCtyAZ; Find-A-Grave 47838933, AZ)

  2. Rosa Lee WINDHAM (b. 31 Jan 1887, BrowCtyTX; d. 17 Aug 1910, BrowCtyTX, age 23)
 

 

Notes:

  • Jim Windham Jr.'s Arizona Death Certificate (Informant is W. B. Nash) does not list his parents. It is indicated that James was a retired cattleman. His death, in Winkelman, AZ, was the result of a fire at the house where he was residing. Another man, Bert Swearengen, also died.
     

  • Luther Windham was shot by his father-in-law in September of 1923. This newspaper article recounts the event. It appears that he survived. In 1930, it appears that he was in prison at the San Diego County Jail.
