Married Marshall M. Luttrell June 8, 1902

Shades of Paul Bunyan and Babe! How would he have done had he needed to take six small children with him to the timber where he worked a cross-cut saw all day before going home to cook, put the wee ones to bed, etc.?
Or did you ever hear of Abe Lincoln splitting the rails and building fences all day with the same little "helpers?" Well, they may not have had such responsibilities, but Lucinda Luttrell did and not only lived through those days but is now a very alert and lively nonagenarian.
On January 8, 1887, is Polk County, Arkansas. Andrew Jackson Aday and his wife, the former Frances Elizabeth Sanders, welcomed the seventh of their ten children, and named her Lucinda. When she was only six months old the family migrated to the Choctaw Nation and began their peregrinations through this new, growing territory which would become the State of Oklahoma just as they returned to Arkansas.
Leaving this first settlement they went to Pottawatomie county and later to Cheek, near Ardmore. Naturally these moves were by wagon.
When Lucinda was fifteen and a half years old, she married Marshall M. Luttrell. They began their life together on a farm across the creek from her home. With her parents they went north to Lexington, Oklahoma to visit her uncle, Lunce Sanders, who was a very prominent Mason. Thence to Comanche where they worked in the timber.
After working back in Cheek and in Daugherty and Sorghum Flat they moved back to Arkansas in 1907 where the family farmed for thirteen years.
Some of those moves were by train, but after some time near Asher, they went to Granite by covered wagon. This was the worst trip of all. Twins were born only three weeks later so she couldn't pick much cotton that year. Later they lived five years at Zodeletone Springs, a while at Alden, seven years in Carnegie, on to help a son-in-law run a tourist court in Abilene, Texas; then back to Hollis, and to Fort Cobb before finally settling down here eight years ago.
There were thirteen children, ten of whom grew to maturity with sufficient education to support and protect themselves. Eight still are busy in this world. The oldest and only son, Virga lives here on the front of the lot on which he built a house for his mother.
She has to wear a back brace and has someone with her at night who prepares breakfast, but she does her own washing, sweeps up with a "push" sweeper daily by sitting in a chair, cooks two meals a day and keeps track of her medicine even though she is nearly blind and must wear a hearing aid. She misses the sewing and alterations she enjoyed, but moves about the house much more freely than can some of her children. Her Pentecostal faith has stood her in good stead these many years.
Mr. Luttrell was killed by a car when in Modesto, Calif. in 1960. But no one with eight children, thirty-nine grandchildren, seventy great grandchildren and forty-five great-great-grandchildren can be lonesome.
These pioneers with their remarkable memories of the early day schools, "Literaries," singings, and spelling bees make the rest of us feel lazy and do-less.
