Notes - In 1924, Luther was employed on a construction project in Houston, Texas. He fell from the roof of a building, but managed to grab something at the edge of the roof and hold on. He hung there by one hand for a considerable length of time before being rescued. Evidently, serious damage was done to the arm by which he hung there, and he was hospitalized. While still in the hospital, a blood clot formed in that arm that resulted in his untimely death. His body was transported toCorpus Christi for burial.
