Belle (Isabelle) McLemore went home to be with her Lord September 5, 2008, at Harbor Hospice after an extended illness. She was born July 29, 1925 in Jasper, Texas but lived in Beaumont most of her life. She was preceded in death by her husband, Hugh R. McLemore, her parents, brothers and sisters. Belle was a long time volunteer in the ICU Department of CHRISTUS St. Elizabeth Hospital. She had been employed by First Security Bank and The White House Department Store Payroll Division. She supported her husband's 30-year involvement with the YMBL. She was a past officer of Women's Aglow and during the past few years, hosted a monthly nondenominational luncheon and prayer group in her home. She was a member of Cathedral in the Pines Christian Center for 59 years where she had been a choir member and taught Sunday school for most of those years. At various times, she taught all age groups and until her health failed, taught the Adult Seniors Class. She leaves behind a great Christian heritage for her family and many friends. Belle loved and treasured her family. She is survived by her son, Don McLemore, and wife, Cheryl, and her daughter, Carolyn McCormick, and husband, Jim, of Katy, TX. The joys of her life were her grandchildren, Karin Mikko and husband, Kevin of Justin, TX., Chad McCormick and wife, Jeanne, of Katy TX. and Todd McCormick of Katy, TX. She is survived by great grandchildren, Katelin, Cole, Daniel, Haley, Caroline and James. She is also survived by her sister, Lanelle Bragg, of Bronson, TX and many nieces and nephews. The family will receive friends from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Sunday, September 7, 2008 at Claybar Kelley-Watkins Funeral Home, 1155 N. 11th Street in Beaumont. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Monday, September 8, 2008 in the chapel of the funeral home. A graveside service, at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, will be held immediately following the memorial service. The family would like to thank Dr. George Thomas, Dr. Thomas Lombardo, and Dr. Robert Birdwell for the care they provided over many years. Sincere appreciation is also offered to her care givers, Ruth and Ray Medina, to the staff at LenRose Assisted Living Center and to the staff at Harbor Hospice.

Ernest married Mary Florence Boyd on 21 Dec 1913. Mary (daughter of William Henry Boyd, Sr. and Sarah Elizabeth "Sallie" McGown) was born on 15 Sep 1893 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; died on 7 Jan 1977 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Gravel Hill Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Kay Parker McCary shows her as the daughter of William Henry BOYD and Sarah Elizabeth McGOWN. Evon Tisdale also noted her maiden name as BOYD. The Texax Birth Index information for her son, Paul Boyd McLemore, shows his mother as Mary Frances CONN, however. Perhaps she was first married to a CONN? Or maybe the Birth Index information is simply an error.

Creed married Lora Lee Warner. Lora (daughter of Dud Ernest "Dudley" Warner and Sarah Candis Cousins) was born on 25 Jul 1894 in Texas; died on 2 Aug 1983 in Pineland, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Magnolia Springs Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery, San Augustine County, Texas.

Ronald Barlow, in his "Farm Road 1" column in the May 16, 2018 issue of the Sabine Conty Reporter, page 10, wrote "Horace Homer Forse (1892-1970) lived on Charlie Forse Raod, about 1/2 miile east of railroad. Pless married Addie Sofronia Impson Forse (1896-1985) and is buried in Palinview Cemetery. Horace was a brother to William Charley "Bill" Forse, who married my great-grandmother, Lora Lee Warner Russell, after her husband was murdered in 1920, and his wife died in 1927."

Notes:

Finn's middle name could have been Fenton (based on a poll tax receipt from Jasper) or Finerel (based on the middle name of his son, Rufus) or Finn, as he was commonly called.

At the time of the 1880 census, he was widowed, and living in the home of his in-laws with his young daughter.

He was a farmer. On the 1900 Sabine County census, he is shown in household 22, next to the Henry S. White family, his wife's brother. Household 36 is that of Thomas E. McLemore, his half brother.

Finn died in at the home of his son, Vessie McLemore. Vessie and Nina had been caring for him. Granddaughter Evon remembers she and some cousins going out into the woods to gather wildflowers for him while her father built a coffin. Her father and his brothers took the coffin by cart to the Gravel Hill cemetery a few days later.

John married Rutha Triphene White on 11 Dec 1883 in Sabine County, Texas. Rutha (daughter of Henry Strickland White, Sr and Mary Etta "Polly" Vardeman) was born on 27 Dec 1859 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; died on 11 Jun 1939 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Gravel Hill Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

According to her obituary, Ruth White McLemore "slipped in her home in Hemphill, and fractured her left thigh on June 2nd. She was carried to . . . hospital in Jasper (and then) transferred here to the home of her son, Mr. V.E. McLemore of San Augustine, where she passed away on June 11, 1939. She was born December 27, 1859 at Hemphill. She joined the Baptist church when a young girl and was a faithful Christian worker all of her life. She married to J.F. McLemore on December 13, 1883 and was the mother of eight children, four boys and four girls. Six children survive: namely V. E. McLemore, San Augustine; Earnest and Ira McLemore, Miss Mellie McLemore, and Mrs. Herman Commack of Gravel Hill, and Mrs. Mermon Speights of Hemphill. She is also survived by seventeen grandchildren and three great grandchildren. In addition to relatives, local people attending the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. T.F. Read, Mr. and Mrs. E.B. Jacks, Mr. and Mrs. John D. Clark, Mr and Mrs W.F. Stephenson, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Burkhalter, Mrs. Rosalie Polly, W.L. Polly, Mr. and Mrs. Rob Horn, Mr. and Mrs. J.J. Mitchell, Mrs. E.M. Boyett, Theo Boyett and others."

Melinda McLemore Strong has a maroon and white quilt made by Ruth circa 1880. At Ruth's death, the quilt was passed on to her daughter Millie. Millie added a calico border to the quilt edges which had apparently frayed. At Millie's death, the quilt was passed to her older brother, Vessie McLemore. After Vessie and Nina died, Evon McLemore Tisdale used the quilt. She later gave it to her niece, Melinda McLemore Strong.

(Research):Triphene is a "pseudo-classical" name, often whimsically given to the third child in a family.

Notes:

Virgie Speights, in a biography of Imboden Boyd written September, 1966, stated that he was a grandson of Joseph Boyd, and great grandson of John Boyd, who came from Nashville, Tennessee in 1835, to settle at Milam, to serve as a Senator in the Republic of Texas, as a sheriff of Sabine County, as well as holding other important positions in early Texas.
