Betty,
This is what I have so far on John's brother Luther - still working on these files:

Luther Denmark Eggers (Landrine5, Landrine4, Hugh3, Landrine2, George1 )b. December (2nd or 26th?), 1876; d. October 25, 1946; married November 25, 1897 NC Emma Cornelia Jones, b. abt 1875 Watauga Co. NC ; d. October 28, 1963, daughter of Rev. E. G. Jones - Emma married in 1952 (2) James A. Harrison.

Note that there are conflicting dates: Online draft registration gives Luther's date of birth as Dec 26, 1876; online obituary gives date as Dec 2, 1876.

note: the census taker didn't do the math on Luther's age - he should be 23 since he has not yet had his birthday.
