    Notes 
    • Wynema McGrew wrote "When S. D. completed his secondary education, he stayed home, took care of his mother until her death in 1914, and farmed until he joined the army during World War I. After his discharge he married Mamie Davis, his first wife, and resumed farming, knowing he did not want it to be his life's work. Soon thereafter, he took advantage of the educational opportunities offered to veterans of World War I, entering Mississippi A&M (now MSU)....upon graduation he taught and/or was superintendent of several schools in south Mississippi until his retirement. He and Mamie had no children....(later) he earned his master's degree at the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa."

      His FindAGrave memorial page, created by Fred Rose, shows a photo of his Military Marker, indicating he served as a Private in the US Army during World War I.
