I am not sure if they ever married, but the children were living with her family after Lucian's death. She married Rufus Herndon. At this point, I have not found Emma's final resting place. Addie L. Durham went my "Lillian" most of her life, at least, legally.   From 1900 US Census for Centre, ChatCtyNC: Dwelling 117, Family 125, Married 3 years Emma is shown to have had 4 children, and all 4 are still living Alphia is shown to have had 7 children, 5 are still living   Name Rel.

2. D. E. DURHAM (b. 16 July 1870; d. 30 July 1870, NC, age 14 days; Find-A-Grave 55998390, NC)   Notes: Dicey (West) Durham passed away immediately after giving birth to D. E., who also died 14 days later.

 

Notes:

I feel that Sidney may NOT be buried at West Cemetery. There is no date of death on the marker, and he remarried after Dicey passed away. He may be buried with Florence at another location. However, he sired another child, Coy Durham, with another woman after Florence.

Do a search for "Flossie Durham". She talks about her family moving to Bynum, NC after her father died. She and her siblings worked in the Cotton Mill in Bynum. John M. Durham went by "Manley". He was a Textile Forman. I am guessing that Flossie's formal name was "Florence", but I have no proof yet. Lonnie C. Cooper served as a SC3 in the US NAVY during World War II.   From 1910 US Census for Baldwin, ChatCtyNC: Dwelling 25, Family 25 John's occupation is Boss at a Cotton Mill.   Name Rel.

He was also the informant on Velma Neal's death certificate. This helped connect her to him as his mother.

 

Notes:

I am sure that Velma (Brown) Neal is Coy L. Durham's mother, however I am not sure if Sidney F. Durham and her were officially married. In the 1920 US Census, however, her last name is indicated as "Durham", and she is listed as Coy's mother.   From 1870 US Census for North Side Pittsboro Road, ChatCtyNC:   Name Age Sex Race Occ.
