Uriah is my Gr-Grandpa.

The fourth of seven children born to James R & Mary Jane (Mavity) Warfield of Manilla, Rush Co IN, Uriah married:

1) Lydia B Heaton on 9 Nov 1878 in Rush Co IN, the daughter of James L & Clarinda (Hilligoss) Heaton of Rush Co IN; she died 20 Dec 1879, just shy of one month after the birth of their only child.
2) Mary "Addie" Adeline Wilkes on 25 Oct 1891 in Rush Co IN, the daughter of William R & Sarah Ellen (Crim) Wilkes of Rush Co IN.

Child with Lydia:
1) James Emery Warfield (1879-1963); m. Nettie Jane Heflin (1883-1966).

Children with Addie:
1) Verle Thomas Warfield (1895-1988); m1. Flora Dorset Clevenger (1902-1983); m2. Mildred White.
2) Charlotta "Lottie" Eva Warfield (1898-1977); m. Charles Chester Clevenger (1894-1960).
3) Freda May Warfield (1901-1923); m. Charles Albert Phenis (1901-1979).
4) Emerson William Warfield (1904-1942); m. Mildred Lavern Mazingo (1921-1939).

On the May 1880 Census record, 22 yr old Uriah is widowed. He and baby son James Emory, live with Uriah's parents and siblings. James Emory Warfield was aged 6 mos during this Census, born in Nov 1879. Lydia had also passed away in Nov 1879, either during childbirth or soon after, at age 16y 2m 2d. Uriah must have been heart-broken, as it was 11 more years before he re-married, to my Gr-Grandma Mary Adeline "Addie" Wilkes.

Notes:
Per the above records, the age at death on the day of death calculates to 30 Nov 1858.

This is incorrect as his birth date is actually 30 Sep 1858. Although the days were calculated wrong on his Death Certificate, the years and month and birth date all match other records. Uriah died aged 68y 11m 26d.

Special thanks to Barbara for her help, not the least of which is the correct name of Uriah's first wife as listed on the marriage record of her son, James Emery Warfield.

As well, much gratitude and thanks to my Aunt Sis for the picture of Uriah and to Bob Lee and Shannon for burial information that corrects the newspaper notice.
