Andrew Jackson McLemore

Notes:

Biographical Sketch of A. J. McLemore, Walnut Grove Township, Greene County, Missouri

From "History of Greene County, Missouri," St. Louis: Western
Historical Company, 1883.

A. J. McLemore was born in Monroe County, East Tennessee, September 10,
1829. His father, Mr. A. McLemore, was a native of North Carolina,
born March 11, 1787. He died in Tennessee. The subject of this sketch
was the youngest child of his parents, there being nine older than he.
When fifteen years old, he came to Greene County, Mo., and after a
short stay at Springfield, went to Dade County. In 1851, he, with other
adventurers, took the gold fever and went to California. Here he re-
mained some five years, and accumulated a considerable sum of money.
Returning to Dade County, Mo., in 1857, he speculated in live stock a
short time, but returned to California in the spring of 1857, accomp-
anied by his wife (Dialtha Alexander) to whom he had been married in
February 5, 1857. They drove a large herd of stock through to the West
on which Mr. McLemore realized handsomely. They located in Eldorado
County on a stock ranch, remaining eighteen months. Returning to Miss-
ouri, Mr. McLemore bought the old Alexander homestead near Ozark, on
which he remained till the civil war. He then sold out and made a trip
to Texas, but returned almost immediately, and located again just north
of Ozark, where he remained till he moved to where he now lives, near
Walnut Grove. He has one of the best improved farms in the northwest
part of Greene County, his residence being elegant and well located.
Seven children have been born to Mr. McLemore and wife, six of whom,
Ida F., John S., Detroit M., Maggie M., Greeley N. and Myrtle O., are
still living. The deceased child was their first born, a son named
Cornelius A., born June 23, 1859 and died March 23, 1863.
