He remarried in 1881 to Emily Jane Moon

On his property in Raglan Qld in 1897 Luther was thrown from his horse and was smashed against a tree.he bled to death before reaching the hospital.
Hope this helps.

Luther and Emily also had an unnamed female child who was born and died in 1882.

Did Luther have a brother named George Frank? Death for him with father Wm & mother Mary nee BEADLE in 1880 in Qld. [If you look at the original report of Luther's arrival he was travelling with a George TUMMON. See http://ndpbeta.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/1361266].

Although someone has said he left a son behind when he went to Australia, where has this come from? I cannot see a death for his first wife either at the moment I dont know why you deleted your update on this thread it now looks like I have dug up an old thread
