I suppose when we go to place a new headstone on his grave, we'll all have to vote on the spelling of the name??<G> Anyway..Gail, Lula Tuten was his 2nd wife and I know she wasn't found in the cabbage patch.

Her parents would have most likely known him and lived somewhere near him and Alice. I just can't find out the names of her parents and I've been searching a good long while. Maybe I'm missing something. anyone have any other ideas? Melody > Yes, it seems it is spelled differently depending upon who you are talking to.

I would be very interested in the "story" told by the Grandson. I have also been trying in vain to find "any" information on Lula. I get the feeling she was alot younger than Kiler. Why else would he leave a marriage of many years? Kiler is buried in the Kirkland Cemetery. Does anyone know where Lula is buried? She died in the 1918 influenza epidemic, in Coffee County.
