Maybe just a coincidence but there appears to be some fine age casting going on. You'd expect the Clemens brothers to be of a similar age and indeed the actors playing them were too.
Emmett Clemens - Ernest Borgnine (b. 1917)
Rufus Clemens - Strother Martin (b. 1919)
Frank Clemens - Jack Elam (b.1920)
An interesting thing happens when you compare the 'good guys'.
Thomas Luther Price - Robert Culp (b. 1930)
The Preacher - Stephen Boyd (b. 1931)
So if the age casting of the Clemens brothers was actually deliberate does it imply Thomas Luther Price and The Preacher might be brothers as there was only a year difference in the ages of the actors playing them.
