    Various genealogies list William as William Mack or Mack.  He is usually William in the censuses, but the 1880 census lists him as William M.

    "I am the sole surviving child, born 1933, of Oscar M. Strange and Grace Ellen Strange, nee Rinehart. ... A letter from Eli Strange to brothers Oscar and George, written in 1946 or so,  gave some insight to their childhood experiences.  A son of George Strange gave me a copy of the letter and that helped to get me started on my research."
    ...
    A cousin, who died several years ago, gave a handwritten list of births and deaths for the children of Wm. M. Strange and Lizzy Strange ,nee Holbert.  After comparing the list with census information, I believe the information to be accurate.

    Child                                Born                Died
    1.  Gracie                        1893                1899 (a)
    2.  Oscar M.                    1895                1960
    3.  Sara A                        1898                    ?       Sara A. (Alla?), was known to me as Aunt "Elle"
    4.  Luther                        1899                1900  (b)
    5.  George E.                  1900                1983
    6.  Not known                 1902                1902
    7.  Eli                               1904                1964
    8   James                         1907                1923

    Notes (a & b):  1900 Census for Lizzy Strange, Mother, listed 4 born & 3 living children.   I am inclined to believe that Gracie died prior to census and Luther afterwards.  That would account for the 4 born and 3 living notation.

    1910 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 22 April, Civil District 8, Enumeration District 17, page 5A, Hse/Fam #69
    Strange, William M Head  M W 39 Married 17 years TN TN TN Farmer Owns
    Strange, Eliza Wife F W 38 Married 17 years, 7 children, 5 living TN TN TN
    Strange, Mitchel O Son M W 14 TN TN TN
    Strange, Sarah A Daughter F W 12 TN TN TN
    Strange, George Son M W 10 TN TN TN
    Strange, Eli Son M W 5 TN TN TN
    Strange, James M Son W 3 TN TN TN

    The child enumerated here as Mitchel O matches the child listed in 1900 as Osker M.  I have no other clues to indicate whether Oscar or Mitchel is the first name.  Note also that now Luther does not appear.  This child, born in January 1900, would have been 10 in January 1910.  But I see there is a 10--year-old in the 1910 census, only his name is George.  This makes it seem that George is the same child as Luther R.  Combine Luther R and George would make an awkward name.  But it appears the best solution, given no further details.

    1920 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 8 January, Civil District 8, Enumeration District: 78, page 1B, Hse/Fam #12
    Strange, Mack  Head  Owns  M W 55  Married TN TN TN Farmer
    Strange, Mamina F W 45  Married TN TN TN
    Strange, Mitchel  Son M W 23 Married TN TN TN Farm Laborer
    Strange, Gracie Daughter[-in-law] F W 20 Married TN TN TN
    Strange, Alla (?) Daughter F W 21 Single TN TN TN Farm Laborer
    Strange, George  Son M W 19 Single TN TN TN Farm Laborer
    Strange, Eligh  Son M W 14 Single TN TN TN Farm Laborer
    Strange, Jimmy  Son M W 12 Single TN TN TN Farm Laborer

    The name following Gracie appears to be Alla.  Alla matches the child previously reported as Sarah A.  Perhaps the name was meant to be Ella, which would match the 1910 census name of Sarah E.  Mamina is Mack's second wife.  Eliza died in 1911, according to her grave memorial on Find a Grave.  The memorial does not include a photo of the gravestone.  No marriage record has been found for this second wife, nor any further records.
