Laxton children of Bessie Johnson Laxton Buchanan Euler?

My paternal grandmother was Bessie Johnson and had her first 3 children by her first husband (whose name I believe was Columbus Laxton who was from England)and was killed in about 1920 or so. These 3 children were Beatrice, Thomas (I think), and James Ernest (my father, born in 1918). Bessie then married a man named Walter Buchanan and she had 9 more children named Corrine, Ima Lou (or Ima Lee?), Oma Lee (or Oma Lou?), Gad or Morgan (I think), Walter Jr., Henry, Helen, Ada, and one more male (the youngest) whose name I can't remember at all. After Bessie was widowed a second time, she married a man who was name (?)Euler whom she outlived as well. Bessie died sometime around the 1970s. My father died in the late 1990s and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery having served as a Darby Ranger in WWII.

I would love to hear from anyone who knows any of my aunts and uncles as listed above. They all live in and around Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and maybe even Tennessee. I have not seen nor heard from any of them since the 1970's.

I would also like to hear from anyone who was also a Darby Ranger in WWII or knew my father in San Angelo or Mertzon, Texas.

Thanks,
Lera Ernestine (Laxton)
