He married Virginia Caroline "Vergie" Suther on 14 Dec 1888 in Lamar County, Texas. She was daughter of Solomon Washington Suther Sr. and Martha Jane Byrd (1st wife of Solomon Washington Suther Sr).
Elbert Coleman Bruce and Vergie had at least three sons:
Richard Arnold Bruce, Eric Coleman Bruce, and Ernest Irving Bruce.
Historical Note: Martha Jane Byrd (Virgie's mother) was a daughter of my 3rd great grandparents: James M Byrd and Elizabeth Bevers-Byrd. Solomon Washington Suther Sr was 2nd husband of Martha Jane Byrd-Cochran (whom first married John W Cochran whom may have died ca 1857-1860). She remarried to Solomon Washington Suther Sr in Oct 1861 in Hunt county, Texas.
Elbert Coleman Bruce was buried in the Old Electra Cemetery (and it appears 4 cemeteries have merged into one on findagrave.com naming it Electra Memorial). His headstone has been posted for OLD ELECTRA Cemetery at:
