    Could this be the E. H. McLemore, born May 1870 in Tennessee, and married 9 years, who was working as a Hotel Clerk Ward 2 of Chattanooga at the time of the 1900 Federal census? He was shown as married for 9 years to 30 year old Olivine, born in France, as were her parents. She was shown as emigrating in 1880, and the mother of no children. Nor were any children listed with them in the boarding home where they were residing.

    If this is Elbert Henderson McLemore, then Olivine died or they were otherwise separated shortly after the 1900 census (taken 29 Jun 1900), as by April 1910, he was shown as married (second? [maybe third?]) to the Mary Bell Dyer, said to be the widow of John Marcus Kennedy. They were living in Fisher County, Texas, and said to have been married 8 years. Elbert and Bell also had two older children with him, Vola age 14 and Ola C, age 12...who would have been born ca 1896 and 1898. They appear to have been born in Belle during her previous marriage.

He became the first cotton farmer in Monroe County, but neighbors soon followed suit.

    Notes:

    May have been born either to the wife named A???ine, born in Kentucky, whom Elbert was shown as married to at the time of the 1920 census, or the Clersie, to whom he was shown as married at the time of the 1930 census. It is most likely he was born to Clersie, however, as she was born in Tennessee and his mother was shown as being born in Tennessee.
