Warmath group 4, Sept 1951, McCrory Arkansas, from left: his grandson Carl Dickerson, his son-in-law James Austin Shelton, his daughter Sidney Fay Warmath Shelton, his daughter Dorothy Warmath Dickerson, his granddaughter Laura Nell Dickerson, his daughter-in-law Lenora Warmath (John Wesley's wife), his wife, and the boy in front is his grandson Ricky Shelton.

Full information on how the Avery children were orphaned and raised by relatives is on the pages for their parents, but this note is added (received in 2007 from Patricia Bishop, daughter of Pauline Gertrude Warmath Pyle and granddaughter or Sid Warmath): "I remember my mother, Aunt Dorothy, and Uncle Clinton (who were the three youngest of Sid and Laura) always telling the same story about their parents. Sid and Laura married without Sid's parents' approval. It was felt that Laura was a servant in the Warmath home...Sid also was disinherited by his family because he became a Baptist minister. My mom, Dorothy and Clinton all agreed that somewhere in the Warmath family history they were related to the Rockefellas. To date I have not made that connection..."

Marriage records for Gibson County TN show A.S. Warmath (spelled "Warmoth") marrying Laura Avery in 1892.

1910 census, Madison County, TN, district 15: Albert S. Warmath, age 40, born in TN of parents born in TN, m1 for 18 years, occupation: dairyman. Wife Laura L, age 40, mother of 8 of whom 6 are living. Daughter Flora D, age 16. Son Roy A, age 15. Son John W, age 10. Daughter Laura B, age 8. Daughter Estelle, age 6. Daughter Sidney F, age 8 months. Also in the house: William Morgan, age 60, boarder, white, born in TN of parents born in NC, farmer--working out.

10-16-1913 Tri-County News (Crockett County), Thursday: "Mrs. A.S. Warmath of Jackson visited her brother T.G. Avery and family last week, returning home Sunday. Her husband came over Sunday and returned home with her."

1920 census, Tippah County MS, beat one: Sid Warmath, age 49, born in TN but this time mistakenly his father is listed as from NC, farmer. Wife Laura, age 49. Daughter Laura B, age 18. Daughter Estelle, age 15. Daughter Sidney, age 10. Son Clinton, age 7. Daughter Gertrude, age 5. Daughter Dorothy, age 4. The next household is Roy Warmath, age 25, single, born in TN of parents born in TN, farmer, whom I presume is the oldest son.

Note regarding Tippah County, MS: Laura's cousin James R Rosamon (son of her mother's brother John Wesley Rosamon) with his wife and foster child lived in Ripley, MS, in Tippah County.

1930 census, Tippah County MS, Beat 1 (NOTE: Albert is himself the census taker): Albert S. Warmath, age 60, married at 22, born in TN of parents born in TN, farmer. Wife Laura L, age 60, married at 22, born in TN of parents born in TN. Daughter Laura B, age 28, single, teacher in public school. Daughter Sidney F, 20, single, teacher in public school. Son Albert C, age 17, farm labor. Daughter Pauline G, age 16. Daughter Dorothy, age 14.

The chart below shows how Sid and Laura could've had the same aunts and uncles without being blood relatives. Matching colors mean the people married each other. Harriet Della Warmath (Hefley) is listed only under her father, though she is also the daughter of Mary J. Rosamon (Warmath) in blue, making her the cousin of both Laura Avery and Sid Warmath.
