Obituary
R.S. McLemore
Died:--At his home near Wheeling, La., June 15, 1906, R. S. McLemore, age 75 years, 8 months and 24 days.
His remains were interred at Mt. Zion Cemetery June 16.
He died where he and had lived for thirty-nine years, and wehre he reared all his family. His troubles were complicated and either one of them were sufficient to cause death.
The deceased was a true and loving husband and a kind and faithful father. He was a noted Christian, and a peacemaker among men. He was loyal to his country, having served four years in the Confederate Army. God, in his wisdom, saw fit to tak him away, but oh! how sad to part with one so near and dear.
He leaves a wife and ten children and a host of dear friends to mourn his death.

The Burger King: Jim McLamore and the Building of an Empire (1998)
James W. McLemore was born to wealth, but his father lost the family fortune in the stock market crash of 1929 and became a turkey farmer. His mother was committed to a mental hospital shortly thereafter, and he never saw her again, as children were not allowed to visit. As a young man McLamore worked as a restaurant manager and then owner, and in 1954 he became Dave Edgerton's business partner in the first Burger King, originally called Insta Burger King. Three years later McLamore proposed adding a "Whopper" to the menu, basing the recipe on a terrific burger he bought from a competitor's burger stand. Edgerton and McLemore sold the company to Pillsbury in 1967, with McLemore remaining as President. He oversaw the introduction of the first version of the company's iconic "Burger King" advertising character in 1970.
