Something about Billy .....
Notes from Ralph Terry ... Billy
Rutherford is shown on the graduating list of the CHS Class of 1940 in
the CHS "Round-Up." The family of Vernon O. and Addie Rutherford
is shown in the 1930 census of Coleman County, living on North Blanco
Street in Coleman. In the family at this time, other than Vernon
and Addie are William, age 8 and Lucy, age 7. Oscar V. (died
1966) and Addie E. (died 1966) are buried at the Coleman
Cemetery. As both Billy and Pete had a sister, Lucy, I have
assumed these two men are the same.
William
F. (Pete) Rutherford age 85 of Santa Anna, Texas passed away Tuesday,
February 27, 2007 at 2:57 p.m. at the Coleman County Medical Center
following an automobile accident. Services will be Friday at 11:00 a.m.

Winnie Alice Tucker in Santa Anna and they celebrated fifty-nine years
of marriage. Winnie preceded him in death in 2001. He served his
country with the Army during World War II. Pete was a lifetime
resident of Coleman County and member of the First Baptist Church of
Santa Anna 60 years where he served as a Deacon. Pete worked as a
