Sheriff McMath was the grand nephew and namesake of Sidney Smith, one of the Texan Patriots executed by Santa Anna's troops at Goliad. Sheriff McMath's grand son, Sidney Sanders McMath, became the 34th Governor of Arkansas (1949-1953) and a leading U.S. trial lawyer.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the one hundred and first anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.
Rest In Peace.
