- Felix Grooms owned the local saw mill, the bakery, and was a deacon ofthe First Methodist church of Liberty, KY. It is known that Felix andMartha had ten children and that at least one of the childrenproceeded them in death. Their grandson Earl G. Wethington statesthat Effie died of diphtheria at seven years old, and their grandsonBilly Gerald Grooms also stated that Virgie died of influenza when shewas ten years old in his recent letter (see notes of John S. Grooms).The census records for those years are difficult to follow due to thechanges in the house hold.
