McLemore, Teletype operator for AP with keen eye for detail by Lynwood Abram Houston Chronicle
Ivy Earl McLemore, a Teletype operator, traffic manager and proofreader for the Associated Press for 42 years, died Wednesday in a Jasper convalescent home after a 35-year battle with cancer. He was 84.
In 1968, McLemore was diagnosed with colon cancer. Over the ensuing years, he underwent three operations, but ultimately the cancer spread, said his son Ivy Bernard McLemore of Houston, former executive sports editor of the Houston Post.
An AP official once called Ivy Earl McLemore "the quickest and most accurate Teletype operator the AP had ever come across," his son said.
Although he was never a reporter or editor, McLemore had a keen eye for errors and omissions in news stories, and often helped the reporters improve their writing.
"He didn't write himself, but he knew excellent copy, and he was a great one for factual detail," his son said.
Born in Jasper, McLemore grew up in the family home which dated from 1888.
After graduating from Jasper High School in 1936, McLemore landed a job in the mail room of the Beaumont Enterprise. Shortly thereafter the AP hired him as a Teletype operator and wire clerk.
In 1940 he began working for the AP in Houston, where he served in the AP office in the Houston Chronicle newsroom.
He was there on Dec. 7, 1941, when Japanese planes bombed Pearl Harbor. During World War II, he served in the U.S. Army Air Corps as an air traffic controller. While stationed in Pampa, McLemore survived the crash of an Air Corps training plane. He later served in France and Italy.
McLemore witnessed the transformation of news writing from manual typewriters to electric typewriters and ultimately to computers.
Beginning in the 1950s, McLemore serviced AP Teletypes in offices of newspapers and radio and TV stations and other clients in the Houston area.
After he retired in 1979, McLemore returned to Jasper, where he lived on and farmed on 12 acres, known as Azalea Forest, growing tomatoes, okra, sugar cane, strawberries and other crops.
A talented gardener, he won prizes and awards at county and state fairs for his tomatoes, his son said.
His former wife, Carmen Albacete McLemore died in 1995.
Besides his son, McLemore is survived by two sisters, Irma Brauninger of Beaumont and Marie Hicks of Jasper; three brothers, John D. McLemore of Kemp, Tommie McLemore of Bartlett, Tenn, and Bobbie McLemore of Jasper.
Visitation will be from 10 am until noon Saturday, McLemore's birthday, at Stringer and Griffin Funeral Home in Jasper. The funeral will be at 2 pm Saturday at Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church in Jasper.
Funeral services for Wade McLemore, 74, Decatur 3, who died Friday at his residence, will be 3:30 p.m. today from Guntharp Funeral Home Chapel, Dr. A.H. Nabors and the Rev. Jessie Wright officiating.
Burial will be in Decatur Cemetery, Guntharp Funeral Home directing.
Survivors include a son, Coy McLemore, Decatur; two sisters, Mrs. Carrie Smith and Mrs. Mattie Sparks, both of Moulton; five brothers, Thad and Tom, both of Decatur; Gaynom and Ernest, both of Danville; and Jay of Moulton.
In 1769 we find a James McLemore and three taxable whites listed in Granville County, North Carolina. This was probably James III, his wife Elizabeth, and their two oldest children. A year later (1770) "James McLemore Sr." (James Jr.) took an oath in Granville, and the use of the Sr. indicated the presence of a namesake son (James III), who was probably the subject of the above mentioned tax list reference the year before. James III would have been about thirty at this point. Then, in 1772 a James is mentioned in the will of Robert WALLACE, but it is unclear which one of the two is meant. However, the James McLemore who signed the (subsequent?) Granville County Oath of Allegience on May 30, 1778, was most probably James III, then about age 39.
James McLemore, Jr. (III) bought land from Benjamin McCULLOH in Granville County in 1779. The use of "Jr." indicates that his father may still have been living.
Futher references to James McLemore in Granville County probably refer to this James McLemore, or to his son, the Rev. James McLemore (1782-1834). Father and son moved to Hancock County, Georgia, after 1803, where the elder James died in 1811. His children were subsequently named in the will of his brother, Charles McLemore who died in Georgia as well in 1815. Charles had no children and named as his heirs James's children: John, William, James Jr. (IV), Rebecca Jones, Pleasant and Jesse. James' widow, Elizabeth, was named as executrix.
Of this James little is known. A single reference entered on March 21, 1805, in Southampton County (Order Book 10, p. 446) provided that "on motion of James McLemore a witness for John HARRIS against Joseph HARRISON it is ordered that the said John HARRIS pay him fifty-three cents for on day's attendance on this court according to the law." It is probably that this refers to James, son of John Jr., rather than James the son of John III (who was too young), or James, the son of Burwell of Sussex County, even though the latter (and/or his son James) moved across the line into Southampton County sometime afterwards.
According to information on his will provided by Dorothy McLEMORE, James had a wife named Lucinda, but was survived by no children. (James L. McLemore, III, p. 65). Eldon and Ann McLemore of Derby, Kansas, also show he married a Lucinda.
He died just about a year after his father. In 1790, James appeared as a separate entry in the first U.S. Census, apart from his father, living in Richland County with two sons over 16 and two daughters. These children were named in James' will probated August 4, 1796; sons John and Joel, and daughters Mary and Sarah, both of whom by the time of their father's death were living in Virginia (Mary, it will be recalled, was the wife of Harrison McLemore of Southhampton County). (James L. McLemore, III, p. 60).
"The last (and probably youngest) son of Burwell and Amy Maclemore was James. Born just before the outbreak of the American Revolution, he was devised the final third of his father's "Pine Log" plantation. Twenty years after his father's death he sol most of his inheritance from his father to Edward REESE by deed dated May 24, 1817, and recorded April 2, 1818 (Sussex Deed Book M, p. 313). He then sold the balance of his inherited lands by deed, in which his wife Rebecca joined, to Joel HAILES dated February 26, 1825, and recorded March 3, 1825 (Sussex Deed Book O, p. 264). By this time, James was probably at least fifty years old, perhaps more. He thereafter disappears from the records without further trace, but is presumed to have died intestate sometime during the next decade or so, rather than moved away, because of his age and because of his children who remained in the area will into the 1840's or longer. (James L. McLemore, III, pp. 78-79).
The younger James (IV), a minister, died in 1834 in Alabama, leaving a widow Mary Elizabeth (Harper) and ten children. (James L. McLemore, III, p 50).
"Born in North Carolina and for more than 30 years was a leading divine of the Baptist persuasion. He had finished his pilgrimage on earth and nothing of him now remains but the memory of his virtue."
Melba Gene McLemore notes that the "Alabama Genealogical Register, V. 6, No. 3.4, Sept-Dec 1964 cites a Will for a James McLemore, will dated 31 July 1832, probated 26 Jan 1835.
McLemore Burying Ground, Montgomery, Alabama
From DAR records 1936
The McLemore Burying Ground is about one mile off the Montgomery -Atlanta
Highway to the right facing east, and is about five miles from Montgomery.
It is on a knoll behind the old James McLemore home built about 1820. In
1936 Mrs. Lizzie Taylor Dickerson occupied it. A low brick wall and
iron fence surrounds the lot. Outside the main cemetery is another smaller
one, also enclosed. There are graves of slaves and faithful servants, mostly
unmarked outside all enclousures. Graves listed begin at the southwest
corner of the plot.
Probably their oldest son, even though he was not born for nearly five years after their marriage. According to the marriage records for his last marriage, he was 55 years old at the time of the marriage, June 6, 1855, thereby placing his birth between June 7, 1799, and June 6, 1800; family records and tradition on the other hand give his birth date as 1801...His first appearance in the court records, however, was while serving as trustee on a deed of trust dated January 1, 1827 (Southampton Deed Book 20, p. 128), although it is possible that this reference could be to his father.
Meanwhile earlier in that same year James purchased a large tract of 484 1/4 acres by deed from Fielding ROSE and wife dated December 29, 1838, and recorded January 21, 1839. This land was described as bounded by Rose's Swamp, Fitzhugh and the Public Path, Capt. Newt. HARRIS (dec'd), Peter EDWARDS and Nathaniel FRANCIS (Southampton Deed Book 24, p. 301). He thereupon gave a purchase money deed of trust on the property of $1,281.12 on a note. After only seven years, however, James found he could not pay this indebtedness off, and he and his wife Martha conveyed his equity in the property to WILLIAMSON by deed dated December 27, 1845, and recorded April 20, 1846 (Southampton Deed Book 26, p. 529), thereby ending his days as a landowner. Thereafter he continued to farm, either on rented land or for others, on his 1855 marriage license he listed his occupation as "overseer."
(James L. McLemore, III, p 80).
Sometime between 1846 and 1855 Martha Barkley McLemore died, and James took a second wife, a Miss FELTS, according to family tradition. However, no marriage license for this union was ever found. This second wife apparently died, without issue, not too long after that, and in 1855 James married Elizabeth RAMSEY, the daughter of Jacob and Sarah RAMSEY, who was then twenty years his junior. Their marriage took place in Southampton County on June 6, 1855, the Rev. M.A. Longhorn presiding.
The last record involving this James McLemore is an 1873 chattel mortgage given to Dr. Thomas B. POWELL (Southampton Deed Book 31, p. 612), so it is known that he survived the Civil War. Family records and tradition give his date of death as 1877, but not record of his death appears in the Southampton County court records. Neither he nor his father left wills, nor were their estates administered, which has made the identification of all their children difficult. If he had had a will, however, it may not have helped much, as several of his children died in infancy. The identity of the true mother is not known with respect to several of James' children, much less the correct order of their births, but since only three of his children apparently survived to become married, only their mothers' identities are important and in each case theirs are known.

Tom Heseltine writes of James "born about 1805, married Hettie McDonald, moved to Alabama." He appears to have been one of the two males under the age of 10 on the 1810 Burke County, North Carolina census, which would put his birth sometime between 1800 and 1810. As he was married in 1829, it is logical that he would have been somewhere between 19 and 29 years of age.
Could this be the James McLemore found as a Head of Household in Marshall County, Alabama in 1840 and in adjacent Jackson County, Alabama thereafter?

Shown on the 1850 U.S. Census in Nansemond County, Virginia. Apparently Eliza died within a few years of the census, and this Nansemond County James remarried, as in 1858 he gave a deed (later destroyed in the 1866 Nansemond County Court House fire), and in 1870 he gave a certificate confirming title, to Daniel BROTHERS (in which James's wife Virginia joined) for 153 acres in or near Dismal Swamp (Nansemond Deed Book 5, p. 310; recorded February 28, 1876).

His middle initial appears to be shown as "A" on the 1860 census and as "H" on the 1870 census.
Rosemary Hollis shows that he married Minnie Dodd, and that they were the paretns of Gaymun and Chamles.
It may be, however, another James McLemore that she is confusing him with. According to the census record below, the James McLemore whom was married to Minnie, and the father of Gainum, was born much later..in March 1872. Perhaps the James that married Minnie was actually a son of James McLemore?

His date of birth per the 1860 census would be around 1856, but on the 1870 census, he was only shown as 8, not 14. This may just be an enumeration error. Or maybe their were two James McLemore born to Hiram and Margaret, and the first one died before his younger brother, named in his honor, was born?
Patricia Mills notes that his first wife, currently unknown, she was said to have died ca 1848 in Jackson County, Alabama. He later married Nancy Coburn (nee Dunham).
In a note dictated by his grandson, Thomas Dickerson McLemore, to his great-grandson, Arthur McLemore, in the 1950's , he is listed as "Henery Mc.....originally from Ireland." The 1850 census shows him as James McLemore, born in Tennessee. However, those same notes of Thomas Dickerson McLemore show that Tom's father, John was of Knoxville, Tennessee. Perhaps he was confusing the places of birth of his father and grandfather. Also, Thomas Dickerson lists his brother James as Henery, and also his grandfather James as Henery. Perhaps the two names were used interchangeably.
SEE ALSO in these files James McLemore, born ca 1805 in North Carolina. It appears that this James could be one and the same as the James McLemore who was a son of the Revolutionary Solider John McLemore of North Carolina and Knox County, Tennessee. John's son James was said to have married Hetty McDonald ca 1829 and "moved to Alabama." Perhaps Hetty McDonald is his unknown first wife.

Called James on both his death record, below, and on the 1870 and 1880 census enumerations. However, in notes dictated (ca the 1950's) by his older brother, Thomas Dickerson McLemore, he is referred to by the name "Henery." All of the other siblings are shown as having the same names as referred to on the census enumerations. On the 1950 dictation of his family makeup, the only sibling Thomas Dickerson McLemore omitted was James, instead listing a brother "Henery." Interestingly enough, Thomas Dickerson McLemore also named his grandfather as "Henery McLemore"...whereas other records also show his grandfather as James McLemore. Perhaps their full names were James Henery or Henery James, both being called by James.

In 1880 he was single and working on the WATTS farm in Heaths, Gibson County, TN. On the census he was shown as age 57, when he was actually 27, and furthermore mistranscribed as Mcseviore versus McLemore.
He appears to have married first and second:
McLemore, J. A. m. Hogan, Louisa in 1877 Gibson County, TN
McLemore, J. A. m. Howell, Mary Jane in 1884 in Gibson County, TN (nee Langford, as she was said to have been previously married to Charles Howell)
Third marriage to Louella McCaslin.
The Rev. William P. McLemore shows that James died on 19 Apr 1938, and is buried in Medina, Gibson County, Tennessee. This matches the scan of his death certificate on his FindAGrave memorial page. His occupation was shown as "farmer" and his father as Charles McLemore, with mother not known. Informant was H. N. McLemor of Jackson, Tennessee.

James H. McLemore's birth occurred in Halifax County, N. C., in 1826, and he came to Tennessee in 1844, with his mother and step-father. His own father, Joel H. McLemore, was a tailor by trade, and followed that occupation for many years. He died on a farm to which he had retired in 1835. His widow, Betsey (Pullen) McLemore, then married John Whitaker, and after coming to Tennessee died in 1858. Our subject was married February 1, 1849, to Sallie A. Whitaker, daughter James C. and Delphia (Lyon)Whitaker. She was born in North Carolina in 1828, and came to Tennessee with her parents in 1844, and is the mother of ten children: Virginia W., Richard M., James W. (who died September 13, 1858), Mary E. (who died June 11, 1886), Delphia D., Anna, Sallie H., Robert L. (who died October 14, 1867), John Pullen and Nora. Our subject lived with his father in North Carolina until the later's death. He acquired a good education, and after his mother's second marriage continued to reside with her until 1849, when he began life for himself. He purchased his present farm in 1849 and has ever since been a tiller of the soil. His farm consists of 412 acres of well improved and exceptionally fertile land in a good state of cultivation. He and his wife are church members, and he is a Mason and a stanch Democrat.

"James was with Forrest in the war between the states, and he was somewhat legendary, as I have heard some good stories about him. He was the strongest man in Tennessee, and could lift a bale of cotton. He was about 6'6" which was huge for those times. My grandmother was also 6' tall. I have a nice picture of his family group and also a pic of him and Margaret with him in his uniform. Sherry Connally Murray - Jackson, TN."

Tom Heseltine writes that Luther, along with his wife and a small son, died in a Blizzard in Colorado in 1880.
Holly Bird, however, through DNA and other research, has established that James had two sons with his wife, Margaret Ilah Walker in Colorado. His sons were Oliver Walker (b. 24 May 1884 d. 1928) and Frederick Walker (b. 1886 d. 1900) who were known by their mother's surname. According his granddaughter, he abandoned his family and may have even faked his death in the blizzard in a Missouri newspaper.
She further indicated that he can be found in 1889 Federal Land Management records, and actually died sometime after that date.

(Medical):A direct male descendant, still bearing the McLemore surname, participated in the Morrison yDNA study. He was predicted to be in the I1 haplogroup, the most common group in Scandanavia. However, he does not currently have any matches among the other 15 members with the McLemore surname in the study. It is possible that there were several founding McLemore lines, instead of just one as has been long assumed. Or another possibility could be that undisclosed adoptions have occurred through the generations of descendants of both James and/or Abraham.

Charles McLemore writes that "Uncle James was born in Sheridan KY in 1908,this is where grandma Dora E family lived and after having lost two she went home to KY to have James" Charles also wrote that when James became ill later in life he moved from St. Louis, MO to stay with his brother, Young Jarrell. As he got worse, he moved to South Houston to stay with his sister, Aline McLemore-Jones, who was a nurse.
Knoxville Weekly Chronicle: Wednesday, December 23, 1874
James Murphy, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. McLeore, passed from earht through the pearly gates of the "Heavenly Eden" on the morning of the 14th last. He was a bright and promising child of 14 monhts of age, and was the idol of their home.
When in the arms of their physician he began to sink into death's cold embrace and was surrounded by a number of weeping friends who mingled their tears of sorrow with those of his fond parents which were wrung from their almost breaking hearts by such a scene.
A short funeral service was held at their residence in Mechanisville, at Tuesday morning, by Rev. J. F. Goldman, assisted by Rev. Mr. Thomas after which was sweetly sung "Waiting for Thee."
The body which was laid in a silver mounted coffin, upon which was inscribed in the center, "Our Darling," was conveyed to the residence of James M. Murphy in the country, where Rev. Mr. Goldman preached a short and impressive funeral sermon which was replete with words of tenderness and comfort to the mourning friends. From there the remains were followed to the family burying ground near to where the officiating minister read the beautiful burial services of the Methodist Chruch, when his angelic form was committed to the dust."
MIGHT have instead been born to James and his first wife, Louisa Hogan. However, FindAGrave links him to mother Mary Jane Langford. He is also shown on FindAGrave as being married to Eudora (1890-1976), also buried at Hopewell Cemetery.
Shown by Ken Oliver at Find a Grave to be a son of James McLemore and Mary SANDEN. Not verified. If accurate, this would make it less likely James is the son of the Revolutionary Soldier John McLemore, as John's son James married Hetty McDonald before moving to Alabama.
Other online sources, however, seem to indicate that the James McLemore who married Mary Sanden was from the Montgomery County, Alabama branch of the McLemore family ( a son of James McLemore, IV and Mary Elizabeth Harper), and not the Jackson County, Alabama branch.

From SHELBY COUNTY, TEXAS IN THE CIVIL WAR by Kathryn Hooper Davis and Carolyn Reeves Ericson:
McLemore, James S.
b: February, 1838 Alabama
d. 22 April 1919 Westover, Baylor County, Texas
Spouse: Elizabeth J.
Service: Private, 1rst Regiment Texas Lancers. Enlisted 2 April 1852 at Shelbyville.
Daniel Creel (dtcreel1@cox.net) writes that he was in Shelby Co., TX, for 1860, 1870 and 1880 censuses. Wife Elizabeth J.'s surname may have been EDWARDS - see 1850 census of Shelby Co. Children were Susan 1859, Henrietta c1862, Cora c1864, Eliza c1867, Hilliard c1873, Emma c1875, and Simeon c1877.
A James Simeon McLamore (?) Jr (?) registered for the World War I draft in Shreveport, Lousiana on September 12, 1918. He was a bookkeeper for Hoco Oil Co in Silsbee, Texas. Nearest relative was Mrs. Nonie T. McLamore of 1705 Allen Ave Shreveport, the same address reported for James. He was 45 years old, and reported his date of birth as April 6, 1873. He was described as Tall, medium build, with brown eyes and black hair.
Mark Freeman has his date of birth as ca 1845, but this contradicts both the 1850 and 1860 census.
Could this be him at the time of the 1880 census? Note that this census information would support 1855 as his date of birth. This also might be the listing for his older brother, John, who was also said to be married to a woman named Nannie.

John David McLemore, a descendant of Britain Sanders McLemore, Sr., emailed in July 2010 that he had a clipping of an obituary of James Sugars McLemore. The clipping was not dated, nor did it reference the paper it was from. He indicated that "James Sugars McLemore (who was a PhD in Philosophy and a professor in Latin and Greek at the University of Virginia and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga) --- was born in Jackson, TN in 1883 but it doesn't say when he died--- I'm guessing it was around 1930 though because it says he was survived by his father [who died in 1934] and it lists his last teaching position hire date as 1928."
His dissertation, published by the University of Virginia in 1917, was entitled "The Tradition of the Latin Accent."

His Texas Death certificate shows he was the plant manager of a Printing Company. He was married at the time of his death. Informant was Mrs. James T. McLemore, presumably his wife.
Email from Maggie on November 9, 2011: James Thomas McLemore married into the Cotton family. I wrote a book entitled "The Cotton Family of Northern Virginia" Volume 4 - Elizabeth Cotton and John Batsell Family last year. Elizabeth and John Batsell's daughter, Elizabeth, was married to William Summers. Elizabeth and William Summer's daughter, Sarah Jane, married James Thomas McLemore. That correction was made in reference to that book so that other could locate James and Sarah in the 1870 census as referenced in the book. I traced James and Sarah's children for a couple of generations but no major research on the McLemore family."
