Biography - James Monroe Farmer & William Callaway Farmer Notes

Now I know where some of the confusion came from in the James Monroe Farmer/William Callaway Farmer families and who is whose son!
In 1930, William Callaway Farmer (son of Isaac Denton Farmer) has died and his wife Annie Ruth has married another Farmer....Thomas Ira Farmer (a son of James Monroe Farmer). I had wondered why Annie Ruth was buried in Younger Cem. while Callaway was buried in Dresden....Thomas Ira Farmer, her second husband, is buried in Younger Cem.
Apparently Thomas/Tommie has adopted Letha and Denton "Bud", or else the census taker just assumed since the last names were the same that they were Thomas' children....but they were actually Callaway's children.

On the 1920 census Annie Ruth is 25, Letha is 7, and Denton is 4. (Callaway is 28, he died in Jan. 1929)
On this 1930 census Annie Ruth is 35, Letha is 17 and Denton is 14. (Thomas Ira is 33 and was first married at 32...so they married sometime in 1929 since he turned 33 in Jan. 1930)
