It appears that Lafayette and John LEE are stepsons of Josiah, born to his second wife.
She was married three times: to Moses Carruth, a Mr. Thompson and to Jesse Morgan. At the time of the 1900 Jasper County Census, she was listed as the mother of 4 children, all of whom were living. At the time of the 1910 Sabine County Census, she was shown as having been married for 14 years and as the mother of 7 children, all still living.
Interview with Callie Williams -Mary A. Poole, Mobile
PATTEROLLERS USED SHACKLES, SAYS CALLIE
Callie Williams was only four years old at the time of the surrender, but stories told to her by her mother are vividly remembered, and the fact that she has had the same environment continously throughout the years imprinted these happenings permanently on her mind. She lives at 504 Eslava Street, Mobile.
"My mammy and pappy was brought to Alabama by specalators who sold 'em to Mr. Hiram McLemore at Newport Landing, on de Alabama ribber," Callie said. "Mammy's name was Vicey and she was born in Virginia, but my pappy was born in Kentucky. His name was Harry. Mr. McLemore had about three hundred head of slaves, some of 'em on one plantation of about two thousand acres an' de res' on another place of about five hundred acres. He sho' did have a pretty house. It was all white and ramblin-like and had big trees aroun' it. Dere was a cool well and a big dairy right close by it and den de cabins was all in a row in de back, some of 'em made out of planks, but mos' of 'em was made wid logs. Dey was all named after whoever lived in 'em."
Aunt Callie needed little urging to tell of the old days, and she claims to vividly remember her master's family.
"His wife was named Axie Bethea and he had seven children," she said.
"One of 'em I never will forget, Miss Julia, 'case she gimme de first calico dress I ever had and I was proud as a peacock wid it. Miss Julia was de oldest little girl and dey give me to her.
"My mammy say dat dey waked up in de mornin' when dey heard de sweep. Dat was a piece of iron hangin' by a string and it made a loud noise when it was banged wid another piece of iron. Dey had to get up at four o'clock and be at work by sunup. To do dis, dey mos' all de time cook breakfast de night befo'.
"Pappy was a driver under de overseer, but mammy say dat she stay at de little nursery cabin and look after all de little babies. Dey had a cabin fixed up with homemade cradles and things where dey put all de babies. Der mammies would come in from de field about ten o'clock to nurse 'em and den later in de day, my mammy would feed de youngest on pot-licker and de older ones on greens and pot-licker. Dey had skimmed milk and mush, too, and all of 'em stayed as fat as a butter balls, me among 'em. Mammy saw dat I always got my share.
"De slaves got rations every Monday night. Dere would be three pounds of meat and a peck of meal. Dere was a big garden dat all of 'em worked and dey had all de vegetables dey needed and dere was always plenty of skimmed milk. Dey cooked de meals on open fireplaces in de big iron 'spiders.' Dem was big pots hangin' over the fire from a hook. Dey do de cookin' at night and den warm it over the nex' day if dey wanted it dat way.
"While mammy was tendin' de babies she had to spin cotton and she was supposed to spin two 'cuts' a day. Four 'cuts' was a hard day's work. What was a cut? You oughta' know dat! Dey had a reel and when it had spun three hundred yards it popped. Dat was a "cut." When it had been spun, den another woman took it to de loom to make cloth for de slaves. Dey always took Saturday afternoon to clean up de clothes and cabins, 'case dey always had to start work on Monday mornin' clean as a pin. If dey didn't, dey got whupped for bein' dirty.
"Some of de niggers, after dey'd been beat, would try to run away and some of 'em got loose, but de patterollers caught a lot of 'em and den dey'd get it harder dan ever befo' and have shackles out on dere feet wid jes' enough slack for 'em to walk so dey could work.
"If dey wanted to go 'possum huntin' or fishin', dey could get passes from de overseer. Two things dey really loved to eat was 'possum and fish. Dey'd eat and eat 'till dey'd get sick and den dey'd have to boil up a dose of Boneset tea to work 'em out. If dat didn't make 'em feel better, dey'd go to Marster. He always kept calomel, bluemas and quinine on hand. If dey got too bad off sick, den marster would call de doctor. De children wasn't bothered with nothin' much but worms and dey'd take Jerusalem oak. It was de seed of a weed dat cook' and mix' 'lasses to make it taste like candy. Boneset was a bush and dey'd boil de leaves to get boneset tea.
"Mos' of de time de slaves would be too tired to do anything but go to bed at night, but sometimes dey would set around and sing after supper and dey would sing and pray on Sunday. One of de songs dat was used mos' was 'Yon Comes Old Marster Jesus.' If I remembers rightly, it went somp'n' like dis:
I really believe Christ is comin' again
He's comin' in de mornin'
He's comin' in de mornin'
He's comin' wid a rainbow on his shoulder
He's comin' again bye and bye.
"Dey tried to make 'em stop singin' and prayin' durin' de war, 'case all dey'd ask for was to be sot free, but de slaves would get in de cabins and turn a big wash pot upside down and sing into dat, and de noise couldn't get out. I don't remember nothin' about dis ceptin' what mammy say.
"When de Surrender come, she say dat a whole regiment of soldiers rode up to de house yellin' to de niggers dat dey was free. Den de soldiers took de meat out of de smokehouse and got all de 'lasses and meal and give it all to de niggers. Dey robbed de bees and den dey eat dinner and go on to de nex' place, takin' de menfolks wid 'em, all 'ceptin' de ones too old, my pappy among 'em.
"After it was all over my pappy rented land on Mr. McLemore's place and he and mammy stayed dere till dey died. Dey was buried in de same graveyard dat Mr. McLemore had set aside for his slaves. I married Frank Williams in Montgomery, Alabama, but our marriage was nothin' like mammy say her and pappy's was. She say dey 'jumped de broom stick.' When any of de slaves wanted to get married dey would go to de big house and tell marster and he'd get his broomstick and say, 'Harry, does you want Vicey?' And Harry would say 'yes.' Den Marster would say, 'Vicey, does you want Harry?', and she say 'yes.' Den marster say, 'Jine hands and jump de broomstick and you is married. De ceremony wasn't much but dey stuck lots closer den, and you didn't hear about so many divorces and such as dat.
"All my children is dead but two. I had five. One is livin' in Atlantic City, N.J., and I live here wid de other one. I 'spects I'll jes' go on livin' here 'till I die, serving Ole Marster as bes' I can. If all de peoples on dis here earth would do dat, we wouldn't be pestered wid all dese here troubles like we is nowadays.

Sometimes shown as being born in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky. Melba states that of all the descendants of Keton Jones McLemore that she has interviewed, no on can state with certainty how the city of Louisville, or where the origin of his being born into a family of 13 children originated, so both these are still speculative and may be incorrect.
The youngest daughter of Keton Jones McLemore, Rosa, was interviewed by a grandson in 1941, and her detailed description of the family makeup was the starting point for much of the subsequent genealogical research done regarding the Keton Jones McLemore family. Rosa indicated that Keton was born when his mother was 60 years old, and that he was the youngest of 13 children, 11 boys and 2 girls. He was educated in Virginia and worked both as a school teacher and as a Methodist Minister. She further indicated that he died in Bastrop County at the age of 63 of gangrene. When son Felix Harrelson McLemore applied for an insurance policy, he also listed his father's cause of death as gangrene.
Keton is thought, but not proven, to be a brother of Nicholas McLemore, to whom he lived next to in Sabine Parish, Louisiana at the time of the 1850 Federal Census. Based on naming patterns, it is also ASSUMED, but not proven, that both are sons of Sterling McLEMORE of Kentucky, and grandsons of Ephraim McLEMORE and Hannah HUDSPETH.
Both Rosa and her brother Pleasant instead indicated that Keton Jones McLemore was a son of Samuel McLemore, an immigrant. In a 1954 letter to his grand niece, Ivy, Pleasant McLemore writes that "My grandfather Samuel McLemore was a lord, he disowned nobility, the title also, married and went to Kentucky, bought a Tobacco plantation, and became wealthy and raised 11 sons to manhood, father was the youngest, his dad sent him to Harvard...I know nothing about his brothers, though corespondd for some time with his nephew of Alabama and his youngest son came to see me when he was released from the Navy, his dads name is Carl S. McLemore a farmer in Scottsboro, Alabama."
Melba Gene McLemore noted that Pleasant was prone to boasting, and known at times to enhance the truth. One example of this is the fact that there are no records that Keton ever attended Harvard.
The family of Carl S. McLemore, born ca 1898 in Alabama, is shown in this index. It appears that Carl is a son of William McLemore of Tennessee, but it is not currently known how William McLemore fits into the larger McLemore family.
Melba Gene McLemore writes that "on March 4, 1850 - Many, Sabine Parish, La. a charter is issued for a Masonic Lodge, with K.J. being listed as Worshipful Master." Furthermore, the book titled "Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Louisiana " published by the order of the Grand Lodge, New Orleans, 1852 shows that K.J. McLemore was a member of the Many Lodge, #88, and expelled in 1852. (Perhaps because he moved to Texas?) It was noted in this same book that N.H. McLemore was rejected in 1852.
Melba also indicated that on 26 Jun 1851, Nicholas H. McLemore, in consideration of the sum of $150 sold to a third party property that had formerly been owned by K.J. McLemore, in the State of Louisiana, Parish of Sabine.
The following letters, written by K.J. McLemore to his son Felix, were provided by Melba Gene McLemore:
East Waco May 27th 1867
Written to Felix H. McLemore
Dear Son, having just met with Tom and Sam Mays, I avail myself of the opportunity of writing to you by them as I have written repeatedly by mail without getting any answer and I am now in great haste and cannot write much. I have lost two of my mules-John and Kit together with a small mare and I am fearful that they are stolen. I had them day before yesterday and yesterday ------- and jack along. I ----- and have been huting this day and cannot hear anything of them. I have been carrying on a slaughterhouse in East Waco but intend quitting as I am not making anything and I intend coming back as soon as I can if, however I have lost my mules it will be out of my power to come without help and I may want you to com and help me. If I do, I will write soon. We are all well. You have a brother here that you neve saw, born 6th past month named Rufus Walter. "Not Bill Walt" He is a noble specimen of his species. Tom Mays told me he saw you a short time ago which was the first I have heard certain of you since I saw you. I have not tried to write all I wish but it would suffice that I have not seen any country since I left Bastrop that I like as well as Bastrop. There is more horse stealing, murdering, etc. in this than any country I have ever lived in. Bell and Margaret are at work in a large spinning factory at one dollar and ten cents a day and both can soon clothe themselves well. I have ---- $70 due me here and as ---- square with my little affairs. I am determined to leave here. I have not heard from George or Philip, Wright or Thad since I have been here. If you are not engaged come up and see us and bring a work horse or two with you, so that I can come back. If Mrs. BATEY has never got her money from Hunt County, if you or any of you come properly authorized by Power of Attorny, I will go with you out there. I must stop. Good Bye your affectionate father, K.J. McLemore P.S. Ma and the children all send their love to all KJM
May 30th As Tom and Sam Mays have not come yet, but are camped some 4 miles back I now proceed to add that I have found my mules but I do not know how long I may keep them as horse stealing is the order of the day here. There has been a good many stolen from East Waco since I have been here. We are having a great abundance of rain and I look for sickness and feel anxious to leave here. In fact I would do so immediately if I could and shall be sure to do so in a month. If I can possibly close with my business. Algerine PERKINS comes to see me occasionally. Preaches ----- Sunday, he is still the same akward -----. I do no see much improvement, if any. They are trying to hold district court here but I do not think they have qutie got their jury made up. They have summonded a great many negroes. God! I pity my country. Tell Walt I saw his friend John DAVIS some time ago. He was trafficking round with a wagon said he had not home. I think he will never pay Walt though he spoke of the debt. I want you to write immediately on the receipt of this. I have written to you several & rec'd no answer. I wrote to BACHMAN about a month ago to inquire after you, but have no answer from him either. I now no nothing more to write that may interest you. You can ride here in 2 or 2 days and if you are not too closely engaged I hope you will do so and I repeat if Mrs. BATEY or any of you come I will go with you to Hunt County. Your Ma says tell Walt that his namesake is the finest boy in Texas. I must stop and get up my mules and harness them to the wagon os I will only -----. Truly. Your Aff't Father K.J. McLemore

Seguin , Tx.
To Felix H. McLemore,
Dear Son, After waiting until my patience has become exhausted, I again resume the pen, hoping to be more fortunate in obtaining an answer than I have been here tofore. You will see that I am still at Seguin, simply from the fact that I have not been able to get away, tho I am still determined to go on West, or rather South. I have truly but little to write that can interest you, let it suffice we are all well or tolerably so. Just now Rufus has been quiet sick, is now quite pert again. Bob still has the 3rd day chills, but they do not seem to hurt him much. I have only had one letter from you since I left your house & none from any other source. Amanda red'd on from Thad about 2 weeks since. He was then well, but had been sick some. He was then at Wright's in Clinton, but was going the next day to Lavacca with his team. Hauling is now a good price. $2.00 per 100 lbs. from Lavacca to Seguin & 2 to Austin. Phillip will start in a day or two. He would perhaps be gone now, but was kept home on account of Amanda. She had a daughter born day before yesterday. I may make a trip below myself before I go on South. If I do I will drive an ox team & let Bob drive my mules. I could get stocks here to manage or carry West if I would rather gather them, but I sould not undertake to do that, as it would almost be impossible owing to the mesquite brush. You would be surprised to see how this country has grown up. It is next thing to an impossibility to gather stock here-ther has been an abundance of rain here during the last 4 or 5 weeks and the grass indeed fine. Crops are very good as a general thing, tho the cotton worm has been preying on the cotton crop for some time. Most of the cotton that I see is now bare of foilage. I am indeed very anxious to hear from you & know how you are getting along & what you intend or think of doing. I am told there will be no difficulty in getting stocks to manage out West & I will use every effort in my power to get a good stock to manage in the spring. If you was here with a good team, I suspedt you could make more in one or two trips than you will make in your whole years hard work-What is Walt doing? And what does he talk of doing.-I must close as (Babe) Amanda's little girl is waiting to carry my letter to the office. I shall expect an immediate answer & if I don't get it, I shall be a little ashy. The family all join me in best wishes to you & yours, together with kind regards to Walt & Family. Meanwhile, I remain Truly your aff't Father, K.J. McLemore P.S. Can my little grandson walk & talk-You must kiss him for Grandpa-Goodbye. Direct to care of Ebner and I will get it.
(Notes from Melba Gene McLemore: The letter above was written to my Great-great Grandfather, Felix Harrelson McLemore from his father, Keton Jones McLemore. Walt (to whom Keton sends his regards at the end of the letter) is most likely Walter Worsham BATEY, Felix McLemore's Father-in-Law. Felix's little grandson is my great grandfather, Walter Keton McLemore, who was one year old on the day this letter was written. Walter Keton McLemore would raise my father after the death of my grandfather, Eugene Allen McLemore.
Seguin, Texas
Nov 21, 1868
To Felix H. McLemore
My dear son, having written 3 letters to you without obtaining any answers and having become weary on that account I now . . . once more, hoping ... successful in obtaining an answer to it. . I have only but little to write of interest, let it suffice, we are all tolerable well now. I wrote you about the death of your little brother Rufus which I suppose you got, we have all been sick and at the time Rufus died we were expecting Adaline to die, but she has recovered and is as playful today as usual. I am still living at the . place, & I reckon will be compelled to stay untill I can raise a crop as any sickness has put me in debt and I do not see how I can get out without raising a crop of cotton. I have not .. the place yet but think I can do so. There is two concrete houses of 2 rooms each and 3 log cabins . . . good lots . . of land under . . . If I . I will be compelled to hire some help unless you will come & join me in cultivating it. I would much prefer going on out to Bee or Nueces counties. The people out there I learn are all doing . . good crops there this season and have a market for their beef at St. Mary's or Rock Port & Corpus Christi. There is a man now stopping in sight of me who lives out there near Page's [?] Store, he says they have twice the money in circulation out there than we have here with no clashing & fussing about politics. Here it is a continual clash. Enough to turn a man's brain. Since the elections the Negroes have become more self important and impudent than before and that will be the finale of the matter God only knows.---- I saw Pat ..'s wife in Seguin not long since, but did not have time to talk much with her. She begged me to come back to Papalota , she said they were all getting sick out there. Old Dave Calahan still lives at the same old place, has a very large stock & is entirely independent. Bill Miller is said to be rich in stock & money. Sam Smith is shipping beeves and I learn is doing well. Old Anderson Williams lives at his old place on the Medio, Peter Degat [?] at his old place. Major Stein is merchandising on Popalota, Old Billy .. Is back there. Charly Megesly [?] lives at the reef near Corpus. I now know of nothing more to write. If I was not so hard run [?] I would come immediately to see you, but it is out of my power. I am trying to get loading to start to the Post. I will go as soon as I can. Prob.[?] will start tomorrow or next day. I heard from Thad not long since on his way to Austin & was sick. I have been thinking he might be at your house now I expect you to answer this immediately Your father K.J. McLemore I have written to George & Lucretia but no answer.
Randolph Branch, Texas
March 21st, 1870
Written to Felix H. McLemore
Dear Son, Yours of the 4th Inst. is received and agreeable to my usual custom of promptitude in my correspondance. I hasten to reply. Have nothing of great interest to write. Let it suffice we are all well and have had last night and today a fine rain Which we thought we were needing very much as the ground was so dry that we were unable to plow or plant. I have been coinsaratively idle for 2 weeks or near that time, have not planted anything but a few vegetables. Irish Potatoes, Peas, Sowed Cabbage Lettuce, Mustard KC and a little Corn for early roasting ears. The corn is killed and if I could have plowed I should have been done planting corn & perhaps cotton which would no doubted have been labor in vain.-I now think I will not plant corn for 10 days yet. Say the last of this or 1st of next month as I feel sure we may expect a cold spell about 17th next month, being Easter Sunday and full moon 2 days before. It will be very apt to come, and in planting any corn I wish to plant, so as to secure my crop against any severe weather we may have about that time and it is a matter of great importance with the farmer to secure a good stand at the first planting. I am indeed quite uneasy on account of Thad, his trip to La. Particularly in company with the Characters he is with is unsafe & I shall suffer on his account untill I find he has returned in safety. You said that your country had filled with desperados and horse thieves and I learn that such is the case here and am credibly informed that there have been some 6 or 7 hanged by mobs for horse stealing on the San Marcos and in Caldwell County. Mexicans generally I believe. I should feel no fears of John Wilson, he is no doubt a bad man and mean enough to murder, or do anything, but he is no doubt a great coward, but as caution is the parent of safety, I should not find myself in his way, but be prepared and if I could prove his threats and meet with him I would certainly take care of myself if possible--If you hear from Thad, don't fail to let me know immediately, --- I rec'd. a letter from your cousin Jack yesterday, he was then at your cousin Eliza Thompsons in Travis Co. & I have just answered his letter, directed my letter to Onion Creek, care of Sterling J. Wright, and if Jack should be at your home, as he spoke something in his letter of coming there, you can inform him of that fast. Amanda & her children are at my house. Ebner having gone below. They are not well. Manda and two of the children have been having chills. I must now close & do not know when you will hear from me again as I am writing on my last paper, using my last envelop & no money to buy more, with gloomy prospects for provisions, but having worked through so long I still expect to make out. I am very anxious to have Mag at home, but see no way of getting her here. I suppose if Thad gets back he will come out here before long & I want him to bring her home--you see I have only room to say good bye, Your Father ...K.J. McLemore
PS I have not heard of your Bro. Wright in some time. don't hangle & quarrel with George. It is no credit to either of you .I know him perhaps too well. Give him what he has got and let go. KJM

A direct male descendant of Keton McLemore was a participant in the Morrison DNA study. The kit number was 35844, and this DNA was a high definition match to two other McLemore's (not previously proven to be related), as well as with a McElmurry from Kentucky
See the results for Group O at the following website:
http://www.geneticousins.com/morrison/
Keton's descendant was a match to a descendant of Wright McLemore of Arkansas, matching in 24 of 25 markers. Wright and Keton lived in adjoining households at the time of the 1830 Richland County, Arkansas census. Keton's descendant was also a high resolution match, 24 of 25 markers, with a direct male descendant of John McLemore, born 1822 in North Carolina, who later migrated to Georgia and Texas. He moved to Jasper and Newton Counties, Texas, just across the border from Sabine Parish, Lousiana, where Keton McLemore lived for some period of time. The markers that differ are, in each case, rapidly mutating markers.
According to FamilytreeDNA in Houston, the probability that the two DNA donors share a common ancestor, is as follows:
In comparing 25 markers, the probability of sharing a common ancestor within the last...
4 generations is

12 generations is

In addition to this above matches, the Wright McLemore, John McLemore, and Keton Jones McLemore descendants were also matches to two proven descendants of Abraham Macklemore, the immigrant, and John McLemore, born 1762, the Revolutionary soldier who left descendants in Knox County, Tennessee; Dade County, Missouri; Illinois; Mississippi; and Alabama.
Each of these matches, including the McElmurry, can be found indexed in these files.
The members of R1b are believed to be the descendants of the first modern humans who entered Europe about 35,000-40,000 years ago. Those R1b forebearers were the people who painted the beautiful art in the caves in Spain and France. They were the contemporaries (and perhaps exterminators) of the European Neanderthals. R1b is the most common Y haplogroup in Europe - more than half of men of European descent belong to R1b. Fourteen of the 30 most common haplotypes in the YSTR.org database are typical of R1b.
Melba McLemore instead shows his date of birth as 22 Jun 1891 in Arkansas. He died at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Corpus Christi, and was listed as married at the time of his death.

Melba Gene McLemore shows him as a son of Nicholas McLemore, and suspects him to be a cousin to her ancestor of the same age, also named Felix H. McLemore. He was missed on the 1860 census enumeration, but is on the 1870 census with his parents.
In an email dated July 29, she wrote that "The Felix, Sarah & Pollie ...was the son of Nicholas McLemore. Nicholas McLemore is enumerated in 1850 living next to Keton McLemore in Sabine Parish. His Kids moved toward Kaufman County, Texas and then on to Dallas County Texas by 1900-1910. Felix's daughter Pollie did not live very long. Felix, the son of Nicholas, was murdered in Parker County while camping on the side of the road. He was an accountant as was robbed.

In 1920, Lawrence can be found living in Beat 2 of Perry County, with wife Beula McLemore, and children L.C. McLemore and J. D. McLemore. Might his wife Beula also be his second cousin, a daughter of John Mclemore and Darlene "Dolly" Odom, also of Perry and Forrest counties? Their ages match earlier census records when they were living with their parents.
A transcription of "The McLemore Family Bible, 1822-1859 owned by Hillis Fry McLemore of Jackson, MS and contributed by Fairy B. McLemore Edwards of Canyon Lake, Texas, shows on page 2:

Lee and his wife lived on the old McLemore farm at Erin, Texas.
When Lee was on his death bed in St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Beaumont, his son Robert Lee went to see him. When Lee asked who he was, Robert Lee replied, "I'm your son, Robert Lee." Lee shook his head, "No your not. You're one of those Morgan boys." Whereupon Robert Lee asked, "Which one do you think I am?" to which Lee replied, "You're Julian."

Lee McLemore
Houston Chronicle
Saturday, November 8, 2008
Houston's first City Councilman Emeritus, Lee McLemore, 93, passed away on the Nov. 6, 2008.
He was one of Houston's most dedicated and energetic citizens for civic and political service. Lee lived and worked by his creed: "There is a destiny that makes us brothers. No one goes his way alone. All we cast into the lives of others come back into our own."
Lee was born June 6, 1915, in the foothills of Hickman County, Tenn. When he was 3 years old his family moved to Nashville where he attended public school through to seventh-grade. His education was halted when his family moved to Kansas City, Mo., for his mother's health. Shortly thereafter, his mother died and it was necessary for him to seek employment. At the age of 15, having a knack for art and lettering, Lee became a commercial artist.
Three years later, while working for the theatres, he met Walt Disney, who admired his drawings of Mickey Mouse and other cartoons. Walt Disney offered him a position in his California Studio. With the letter of employment in his hand and his sign kit, he headed for California. It was the Feb. 17, 1936, and the ice and snow made the traveling unbearable.
It was in Dallas, Texas, where he searched for a warmer route to California. Someone suggested that he go south on Highway 75 to Houston, Texas. He had never heard of Houston, but took the advice. The next day was shinning bright and all the Houstonians he met were friendly. Out of funds, and quite taken with his welcoming town, Lee delayed his journey and quickly found a job. Houston had a new and energetic citizen.
In 1939 he established his own company. The Houston Kolor-Ad Co. was born, where Lee sold signs and displays. In 1941, as a private pilot, he was charter member of the Gulf Coast Flying Club. The Club later became a wing of the Houston Civil Air Patrol. In 1942 he entered the Army Air Force and served as a public relations photographer under Gen. Doolittle's command on Okinawa.
Returning to Houston in 1945, Lee started real estate development business and continued with his civic work. He became a member of the Houston Junior Chamber of Commerce in 1940 and served in many capacities, including director, secretary, and president. In 1950 he was voted "Houston's Outstanding Young Man" by the Houston Chamber of Commerce. In 1951 Texas Governor Allen Shivers named him one of "the Five Outstanding Young Texans."
The year 1952, brought a new challenge for Lee. A group of Houston businessmen urged him to run for Houston City Council. With their support, he was elected to District "C" with a large majority. He was re-elected as city councilman for 10 consecutive terms from 1952 to 1972.
During his 20 years of service as councilman to the City of Houston, Lee served as Mayor Pro-Tem, serving under four mayors: Oscar Holcome, Roy Hofheinz, Lewis Cutrer and Louie Welch. He was elected secretary and then president to the Houston-Galveston Area Council, serving 11 counties, and he chaired many committees including aviation (during his term the Bush Intercontinental Airport was built).
Early in his career as Mayor Pro-Tem McLemore flew to Kansas to invite Bernard Calkins to bring his air-condition business to Houston. He also spearheaded the effort through the State Capitol to create what is known as Lake Conroe, Lake Livingston, and the Wallaceville Reservoir. The City record will also show his ongoing support for the beautification of Buffalo Bayou. He was instrumental in naming Allen Parkway for the founders of our city. Lee was awarded a lifetime membership to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and was appointed Marshall for the Salt Grass trail ride for 11 consecutive years.
Lee also gave his time as either a member or officer for the United Fund, Lighthouse for the Blind, Youth Fair Rodeo, Harris County Historical Society, American Legion Post 560 for 49 years, Mayor and Councilman Association, 147th fighter group, Houston Advertising Council, Boy Scout Advisory Council, and Charter member of the Big Brothers and Sisters Organization. He was also a board member of the Houston Chamber of Commerce, was a charter member and served of the Board of Beltway State Bank, and Advisory Director of Allied Beltway Bank and First Interstate Bank.
Upon retiring in 1972, Mayor Louie Welch, and his city council members voted him "Houston's City Councilman Emeritus." In August 1999, 17 years after Lee retired, Mayor Kathy Whitmire and City Council voted a resolution commending Lee "on his dedication and commitments exhibited throughout his service to our community."
For the last 35 years, Lee and Billie have divided their time in Texas, between Sugar Land and their Raven Ridge Ranch near Huntsville, and in the later years their lakeside home in Bentwater. Lee purchased the Huntsville property in 1948 and spent most of his weekends, for 52 years clearing and developing it himself. It was his true pride and joy! Lee and Billie also spent summers and Christmas holidays at their home in Pagosa Springs, Colo. They also enjoyed their membership at the downtown First United Methodist Church, The Sugar Creek Country Club, the Pagosa Springs Country Club, and the Bentwater Country Club.
Lee was preceded in death by his father, mother, and brother.
He is survived by his wife, Billie; son, Wayne; granddaughter, Kelly Tolar and husband Todd; great-grandchildren, Kendall and Will Tolar; niece, Charlis McLemore and family, Lori, Traci and Chuck, Chuck's wife Amy and children, Liam and Cassidy; nephew, Jimmie and wife Annie and daughter Elaine.
A private graveside service will be conducted at Woodlawn Cemetery, 1101 Antoine in Houston.
The memorial service will be conducted at 3 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 10, in the Jasek Chapel of Geo. H. Lewis and Sons, 1010 Bering Drive in Houston. Immediately following services, a reception will be held in the pavilion of Geo. H. Lewis and Sons.
Serving as honorary pallbearers are Randy Cook, William Franklin M.D., James H. Foster, Don Martenson, Jeffrey Robinson, Col. William Storm, Jack Threet and Bill Williams.
For those desiring, memorial contributions in Lee's name may be made to the charity of one's choice.

At the time of the 1870 census, he appears to have been a boarder in the home of Joseph and Eliza ALEXANDER in Columbia, Maury County, Tennessee.

McLemore was shown as age 28, Male, White, born in Tennessee, with personal property worth $6,000 and his occupation was shown as "at home." Eliza was Lemuel's older sister.
Betty Pritchett instead lists his date of death as 16 January 1906, Texas. He spent his life a as a farmer. She added that "During World war II, when my Dad was travelling to California for shipment to the Pacific war front, he visited these Texas McLemores and was pleased to meet many relatives."
Melba Gene McLemore located his obituary, published in "The Herald and Mail (Columbia, Tennessee), Friday, 19 January 1906, page 7:
Mr. Lemuel P. M'Lemore.
Columbia friends received news Monday of the death at Hillsboro, Texas, of Mr. Lemuel P. McLemore, who left Columbia only a fw weeks since with Mrs. McLemore to visit their son, Mr. Frierson McLemore. Mr. McLemore made Columbia his home for many years, but for the last few years he has been living at Spring Hill. Some years since he suffered a stroke of paralysis and has since been a great sufferer. The immediate cause of his death was congestion, and the end came Monday. The funeral and interment was at Hillsboro. Deceased is survived by his wife, one son, Mr. Frierson McLemore, and one daughter, Mrs. James D. Richardson Jr., of Murfreesboro. He leaves many friends in Columbia and Maury county.
