Harvol Hoy McLemore

Notes:

J.W. McLemore said that when he was younger, his big brother Hoy and double first cousin Terry would let him "tag along" with them. Terry would say, "I'm a pretty good guesser for my age." They were called "Terrible Terry" and "Horrible Hoy."

Per his obituary in the Sabine County Recorder, Harvol had lived in Pineland for the 25 years preceding his death, where he was a prominent member of the community and supporter of the Pineland Volunteer Fire Department and athletics at West Sabine High School. He was a US Army veteran of World War II and was retired from Mobil Oil Company.
