Hi,

My name is Karen and I am looking for information regarding a picture you have posted on your page of the school children. I am trying to locate anyone who would have information about the Sides family. There are three boys in the picture with the last name Sides and I believe they are related to Burnis Clifton Sides. I would appreciate any information in my search to locate the family. I've included the link with the picture.

Thank you in advance for your assistance,

Karen Sprague

Forrest Grove Cemetery, Milam County, Texas


His full name is Doctor Melton Sides. Dates are: "Feb 27 1848 - Nov 11 1929
and Jan 10 1845 - Apr 4 1907".
For his 1867 Voter Registration he gave "Jan 10 1846" for his DOB.

There were 10 children:
Roxanna P Johnson 1866 - 1949),
Caldona Elizabeth Zenke (1870 - 1952),
James Wiley Sides (1873-1957),
Gadzie (1876-1899),
Walter Joseph Sides (1877 - 1964)
Robert Lee Sides (1880-1962),
Rena D Nunley (1884-1943),
Mary Josephine Overman (1887-1945),
John Austin Sides (1890 - 1961), and
Will Oscar Sides (1893 - 1967).

Karen, Jackie Sides was a 1945 Rockdale High School graduate. I have researched the Sides and several other Milam County families in Ancestry.

Call or email me directly if I can help you.
