McLemore, the loving husband, indulgent father, true christian, chivalric southern gentleman, and best of friends, after a long and useful life "has passed over the river and is now resting under the shade of the trees." As one who knew and loved him well, I would that I had the power to express the feelings of heart.....And as I think of his dear wife and children, and what he was to them, I feel that I could have died for him. I think of the dear, grand old home at "Everbright" and what a home it was-father, mother, sisters and brothers, not a link broken with no cares updon them their their suffering Southland, the scene of war and carnage. The home of wounded Confederate soldiers, and where the writer almost unto death was nursed back to life by this dear family. "A Confederate Soldier" was the password with threw open wide his doors and brought lvoing hears and unwearied attention......Farewell to thee, much loved and truest of friends. May the sod of beautiful Rose Hill rest above the nobel form, and at last may there be a happy reunion of all you loved here in the paridise of God."

  	The following Family Histories have been taken from the book by Sue Oden titled "Hold Us Not Boastful - History of Thompson's Station, TN." This biographical collection includes 86 histories of pioneer families of Thompson's Station and Southern Williamson County. The stories are about families who are proud of their roots and their place in history. We hope that you will be able to connect your roots with ours, and become part of us. The correctness of this biographical material cannot be guaranteed. It was obtained through interviews with family members, research they had done and my own research at the Williamson County Archives. Research in such detail is always subject to error. Everyone must validate the facts for their own use." http://www.tngenweb.org/williamson/history/tsfamhisMO.html Robert McLemore and Margarete O.
