There is information on the death of a William M. Sellers at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/87453199 . The death certificate has the birth at 1872 in Georgia with occupation as a mechanic. The narrative of the memorial was written many years after the death, perhaps as late as 2012. Family records have the birth of William Martel Sellers as 27 May, 1870 in Alabama. He is listed as 10 y/o "Willie" in the household of Calton Erasmus Sellers in the 1880 census and not in the 1870 census. His daughter Malissie and the daughter of his step-brother Bedford Henry Darden both give his occupation as "Logging Superintendent" in written memoires. The last family record of William Martel Sellers describes a visit of William with the family of Bedford in 1916 in Sulphur, Oklahoma while traveling to Bend, Oregon as a "logging boss".

The death certificate has William M. Sellers as a widower. Olive Yellington, the first wife of William Martel Sellers, died between 1891 and 1897. His second wife, Ellen Brown, was living with her daughter Lois in Damascus, GA around 1918 and had died by 1923 when Lois moved to New Orleans
