Possessed of a strong and commanding mind, unusual ability and admirable personal quailities, he has become a well-known figure of the Montana bar, rendering conspicuous service in his able conduct of the cases entrursted to him, discharging what he believes to be his duty with independence and without bias. He will never permit fear of political punishment or hope of reward to change his attitude on a matter of public concern, and is recognized as one of the forceful ment of his profession. Clyde McLemore was born near Everton, Dade County, Missouri, on March 29, 1883, a son of William Y. and grandson of Archibald McLemore. The McLemore family came originally from Scotland through the north of Irelan to the United States during the Colonial period of this country's history, settlement being made first in North Carolina and later in Tennessee. During 1849, Archibald McLemore with several of his brothers left Tennessee for Missouri, and there became interested in farming. When the war broke out between the states the McLemore brothers adhered to the Union, and continued to support it, several of them entering the army in its defense. Archibald McLemore married Mary Brown, and they had five children. William Y. McLemore was born in Missouri, where he spent his life, being engaged in merchandising. He married Claranette Wheeler, a daughter of Calvin and Asenith (Carlock) Wheeler. Mrs. McLemore was born in Dade County, Missouri, and she and her husband became the parents of the following children: Clyde, whose name heads this review; Clarence, who is a banker of Everton, Missouri; Forest, who is wife of Boyd Campbell, of Warner, Oklahoma; Ray, who served in the Eighty-ninth Division during the Great war, is now engaged in merchandising at Everton, Missouri; Carl, who is also a resident of Everton; and Dewey and Gretta, who are both residents of Everton. Growing up in a country town, Clyde McLemore attended the village schools, the Everton High School and the academic department of Missouri State University, spending 18 months in the last-named institution. Following that he took a law course in the university, from which he graduated in 1911, with the degree of Doctor of Law. His fraternity work was done as a member of the Sigma Chi and Phi Delta Phi Greek letter societies. An athlete, he was a member of the university baseball team, with which he played for an entire season. Having completed his legal training Mr. McLemore took the examinations at Guthrie, Oklahoma, and was admitted to practice before the Supreme County, and he was also admiited to the bar in Missouri. His first lawsuit was tried in Oklahoma, and it was an ordinary civil case. As long as he remained in Oklahoma he confied himself to a civil practice, being at Muskogee, that state, from 1911 to 1912, when he moved to Billings, Montana, there forming a partnership with E. E. Collins under the firm name of Collins and McLemore. For some years this was one of the strong legal firms of Billings, but then it dissolved and Mrs. McLemore became title examiner for the Bankers Loan & Mortgage Company of Billings, with which he remained until his retirement from that position in the early part of 1919 in order to locate permanently at Baker as an associate of Senator Booth. The first of Booth & McLemore was formed in May, 1919. In addition to his other work Mr. McLemore has contributed a number of articles to some ofhte leading law journals of the country. In his politics he has always been a republican and he cast his first presidential vote for Colonel Roosevelt in 1904, but has never taken an active part in the public affairs. For some years he has been a member of the Odd Fellows. Brought up ina strong Presbyterian home atmosphere he is naturally a member of that denomination. On August 7, 1907, Mr. McLemore was united in marriage in his native county to Lucy Talbutt, a daughter of Mason and Clara (Kimber) Talbutt. Mrs. McLemore was born in Dade County, Missouri on March 28, 1888, and attended its public schools. Mr. and Mrs. McLemore have two children, Felicia, who was born in 1910; and Claranette, who was born in 1913.
