I have a little information on the Bryant/White families. John Rotan White is my grandfather. I have a few letters written by William and Scena's daughter Laura to one of my aunts giving some of the family history. She notes in one letter that Scena and Walter are buried in Rodkey Cemetery 9 miles northeast of Buffalo OK. Laura states Scena died in 1906 when Laura was 7 but Laura was born in 1900. It is also noted in the letters that Walter was born in 1903 and lived about 18 months (that would make his death in 1904 or 1905 depending on the months he was born and died).

Also mentioned in one of the letters is William remarried to Mary Byrd but it doesn't say where. Laura was 10 at the time so the date would have been late 1910 or 1911. Mary was from TN but Laura doesn't say she was born there.

Note: According to the information from Laura (daughter of Scena and William) and a copy of a birth certificate for Bessie (another daughter), the correct name for Scena is: Scena Cathern Bryant White...she went by the name of Cathern and William went by the name of Will.

I hope this information helps.
