  1. 1.  Earl Briggs "Early" McLemore was born on 17 Aug 1878 in Limestone County, Alabama; died on 1 Nov 1962.

    Notes:

    He worked paving roads and building bridges when he wasn't farming. The McLemore's remained in Cartwright until 1932. Due to declining cotton prices and other extreme conditions of the Great Depression, Earl's family was forced to move to Elgin, Alabama. The crop of 1931 was a devasting blow to the family. He had planted 20 acres of cotton and produced 4 bales. The cost of production was higher than the income for the product.

    In Elgin, Sammy and Earl Junior began clearing land for William Lee and Risky D. Butler, a prominent family of the period. The Butlers provided work for jobless men to help their families. They employed men lived in tents.
