The following obituary appeared in the 27 March 1980 issue of the SABINE COUNTY REPORTER HEMPHILL, TEXAS (Courtesy of Kay Parker McCary)
Ruth Speights
Funeral services for Ruth Elvie Speights, 86, of Pineland were at 2 pm March 20 in the Starr Funeral Home Chapel with burial in Hemphill Cemetery.
Mrs. Speights died at 12:45 am March 19 in Hines Nursing Home in Pineland.
She was a lifelong resident of Sabine County.
Survivors include three daughters Mrs. Dorine Robinson of Pineland; Mrs. Laverne Gellatly of Beaumont and Mrs. Johnnie Hughes of Shreveport, La; one sister Mrs. Emma Cammack of Hemphill, three grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Mrs. W. B. Smithson, widow of William Burr Smithson, former prominent lawyer and State Senator, died at the Pulaski Hospital about 3 o'clock Friday morning of pneumonia, following an acute illness which began only a few hours before her death. Mrs. Smithson had been at the hospital for about three months recovering from a hip fracture received in a fall at her home, and was so much improved that she had expected to leave the hospital this week. So her unexpected death was a great shock to her relatives and friends.
Dr. G. A. Morgan conducted the funeral rites Sunday afternoon at her late home and burial was in Maplewood Cemetery beside her husband who died about nine years ago.
Mrs. Smithson formerly was Miss Sallie Reese McLemore, of Spring Hill, her mother having been Harriet Susan Figuers. She married Mr. Smithson on Nov. 21, 1882, and had been a resident of Pulaski since then. She was a member of one of Maury County's most aristocratic families, and "Everbright" her ancestral home at Spring Hill was the scene of many brilliant social events both before and after the Civil War.
Mrs. Smithson was a woman of superior qualities and possessed a generous nature, genial disposition and intelligence and practical sense of a high order, and was noted for her love of flowers, shrubs, trees, and pretty landscape effects and devoted much time and energy to their culture. Ane the beautiful home which she sometimes called "Everbright" is a testimonial of her work.
Left with the responsibility of managing the estate left by her husband she did so in a way which reflected credit on her efficiency and good judgment. She was a home-loving woman, and spent most of the time looking after her home and its requirements. She had long been a loyal member of the Methodist Church.
Surviving are: Nephews, R. N. McLemore, Columbia; W. T. McLemore, Nashville; W. F. Warfield, Houston, Texas; T. M. Rogers, Florence, Ala., Norfleet McLemore, St. Louis, Mo.; Nieces, Miss Olive Rogers, Florence, Ala.; Mrs. J. W. Love, Chattanooga; Mrs. H. L. VanHook, Oklahoma City, Okla.; Mrs. Eaton Elder, Memphis; Mrs. Gordon Craig, St. Louis, Mo.; Mrs. Elizabeth McComb, New York, N. Y.; Mrs. J. J. McCabe, New York, N. Y.; Mrs. W. W. Shea, Nashville.
As noted, Burwell's will, in addition to omitting any mention of his wife, Amy, also omitted his eldest daughter Sally whose birth was registered in the Albemarle Parish Register. Jim therefore presumed that neither Amy or Sally survived to the date of the execution of the will (1793), and Sally probably died in her youth, unmarried. (James L. McLemore, III, p. 73). Her baptism sponsors were her Aunt and Uncle, Robert and Lydia Magee, as well as a Gilliam.
Jim White (jim4@whitesnet.net) indicates, however, that Sally did survive her childhood, m: Henry Harrison & died before 1780 Southampton County Virginia.
(Research):Burwell and Amy McLemore had a large family: eleven children in all have been identified, but only two had their births recorded in the Albemarle Parish Register. The first was Sally, born June 2, 1754, and baptized August 25, 1754. Sponsors or godparents included her aunt and uncle, Robert and Lydia MAGEE, as well as a GILLIAM. (James L. McLemore, III, p. 70).
Could this be the Sally (Mary?) McLemore that married William Bethurum in 1805?
Several sources show "William Bethurum marriage to Mary McLemore 5 Apr 1805, Pulaski Co., KY", though in some sources the wifes name is shown as Sally. William Bethurum was said to be a neighbor of Sterling McLemore, Sally's eldest brother.
"Believed to be the Sarah B. McLemore who married John ANDLETON on December 21, 1835. However, she was described as daughter of Sally B. McLemore; since she was apparently the only Sally around at the time, it appears the clerk repeated the bride's name in the place where her mother's (Elizabeth) should have gone, but this is by no means clear (Southampton Marriage Register, p. 4). (James L. McLemore, III, p. 67). Eldon and Ann McLemore of Derby, Kansas, instead show her husband's last name as ANBLETON.
Shown on the "Harrison-Wineland Connection" tree at WorldConnect as a child of John Alexander McLemore and Eliza Ellen Carson. On this same tree, John Alexander McLemore is shown as a son of John K. McLemore and Ruth Steelman, and grandson of Ephraim McLemore and Hannah Hudspeth. Eliza Carson is shown as a daughter of Charles Campbell Carson and Elizabeth Dysart of Washington County, Virginia. Findagrave.com shows Eliza as being buried at the Samuel Denny Cemetery, Salem, Washington County, Indiana.

S. D. "Buddy" McLemore, 80, passed away March 8, 2008. He was born January 29, 1928. Mr. McLemore was a longtime faithful member of Wesley United Methodist Church. He served his country in the United States Navy. He was retired from Centex Cement Corporation after more than 40 years of service.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Glenna Fay McLemore in December 2007 and his parents, Samuel Donald and Jessie B. McLemore, Sr.
He is survived by his daughters, Donna Searles and her husband Daniel of Odem, Texas and Kim Zinnante and her husband Chuck of Needville, Texas; grandchildren, Amy and Chad Zinnante of Needville, Texas and Tyla and Cara Searles of Austin, Texas; sisters: Bobbie Jo Zinn, Ora Mae Voigt, Lavona Lehman; and Becky (Jerry) Veit; brother, Bill (Fumiko) McLemore; father-in-law, Roy B.

SAMUEL DUARD McLEMORE: The Long and The Short of It.
T.F. McLemore lived at 2401 Forrest in Beaumont and Duard lived nearby. He drove past the house every day in his 1935 Ford, which had a very low seat. Duard was rather short, and so his head was also very low (in the car). One day, as he came around the corner headed for home, some person on the front porch (it may have been Emile's wife, Grace) exclaimed "There goes Duard's car, but where's Duard?"
At the time of the 1910 Knox County, Tennessee census, he was living with her brother and sister-in-law, Andrew and Isabella, and was shown as Married 4 times.

In the process of executing her husband's will, Faith Macklemore made a distribtuion of one pound of current money to Thomas CLIFTON, the neighbor of John Macklemore, but who was not mentioned in John Sr.'s will. This distribution was actually on the behalf of their daughter Sarah Macklemore. The distribution of her bequest to Clifton indicates that he was her husband, since a married woman in that age had little in the way of property rights, and her husband had the right to receive, hold and dispose of her property. (James L. McLemore, III, p. 58). Eldon and Ann McLemore of Derby, Kansas, also show she married a CLIFTON.

May have been named for her aunt, Liza Harris. She married James Edwin WESTBROOK, brother of her own brother Ben's wife, Rosa Ann WESTBROOK. They were the parents of William Hugh, Martin Luther, Arthur Blunt, Edwin Person, Lillian Gertrude, Alice Blanche, Bessie Rae, and Lila Karen Westbrook. Memorial pages for four of their children can be found linked to her on FindAGrave.
Melba Gene McLemore notes that Rosa's papers list ONLY David O'Donovan, and not James Williams, as Sarah's husband. She was said to have had 8 children in total. No marriage record has been found for David Donovan and Sarah Elizabeth. Melba further notes that census records on David Donovan and Sarah show them to be married the same number of years as Sarah would have been married to James Williams. Additionally, in 1891, Sarah writes a letter to her step-brother Felix mentioning "Jim," and giving the impression she is writing about her husband. Melba therefore speculates that it is possible (but not proven) that James Williams may have actually changed his name to David Donovan.
Pleasant McLemore had the following to say about his sister, in a letter he wrote in January, 1955:
"sister elizabeth was grown and married, when i was born, in later life she Became a preacher, she preached in the church of god for 35 years, she died At the age of 86 with hardening of the arteries. She prayed for the sick and They got well, she used no medicine." Another family member mentioned that Sarah wrote hymns and gospel music.
The following letter, written by Sarah Elizabeth to her half-brother Felix in 1891, was transcribed by Melba Gene McLemore. Melba indicated that the original was difficult to read, both due to ink blotches and a section of the top left had corner being torn.
Barstow, California Feb. 1891
To: F.H. McLemore Dear Brother,
I will answer ?.your letter which i rec'd sometime last month. I have Been so busy lately that i have not had much time to write you an by the Heading of this letter [you can tell] t hat we have moved from doggatt. we left there the First of january not being able to get a house in that place. we are living Ten miles from there. A good bit of work going on her , as this is the Terminal of one r.r. and an other goes thru here. Jim got a job here the First of month. He attends to what they call the coal shoot. That is he Loads all the enjines with coal during the day & on other mass loads at Night..he gets 70$ seventy dollars a month.sometimes he has not ? Much to Do. I don't think it agrees with him to work rather hard and other times Has not much to do . I don't think it agrees with him to work .
there is a school here & the children are going to school but i think there are only three other pupils besides mine. David is sick so much he Does not go regular.we have had some very cold weather since christmas. It Is usually very mild weather in winter here but generally very warm in Summer. I don't suppose i will ever see the " lone star state" again. It Seems to me that i should be glad to see green fields again. There is Nothing growing here except a few trees along the river front?? Of course There is farming done as some other parts of the state bit i think it is All done by erigetion and the whole state is mountainous and i think nar Person has been here a few. A mine some of them are .no buy s meal and i Don't believe ???..their mines are worth five dollars. i received a letter from emma when i got yours. she told me addie was there And in very bad health but i suppose you hear from them often.

The image of her actual Texas Death certificate can be viewed online at FamilySearch.org, Texas Deaths, 1890-1976. Her name at the time of her death was shown as Elizabeth McLemore Hewitt, and she was shown as born in Memphis, Tennessee to John C. McLemore and Elizabeth Pope. Prior to her death, she was a resident of the Christian Home for the Aged in Houston. She died as a result of a fractured hip some five months prior to her death. She was shown as divorced, and although she died in Houston, Texas, her body was removed to Memphis, Tennessee for burial at the Elmwood Cemetery.
Paul Williams is descended from this line. He writes that after William's first wife, Eleanor Forgy, died, William hired Sarah Jane McLemore to help him care for his eight children. They eventually married, and went on to have ten children of their own. Paul also supplied the obituary, below, for Sarah Jane.

Shown as Sarah Jones McLemore or Sarah Jane McLemore.
Said by Mark Freeman to have married Simon James GREEN aft 1794, after the death of her younger sister, Priscilla, who was also married to Simon Green. He was said to be the son of Thomas GREEN and Sarah TURNER.
Linda Sellers Chrisman (lchrisman12@yahoo.com) emailed, in March 2014, "I would like to suggest that Sarah Joriah McLemore who married John Sellers was a daughter of Amos and Equilla/Aquilla McLemore. Sarah Joriah was born in 1806. On the 1850 census, she was listed as born in Tennessee. She married John Sellers in Perry Co., MS, around 1819. They lived in Covington, Jones, Perry, and Smith Counties. In 1818, John Sellers and Joel Holbert with Moses McLemore as assignee, purchased land in Perry Co., MS. Several of Amos and Equilla/Aquilla's children named their daughters Joriah: Moses, Richard, and Beatrice Elizabeth. In 1860, John McLemore's child Anna Maria McLemore Knight's children were living in the home of John Sellers. Sarah Joriah McLemore Sellers was believed to have died in 1859. Sarah Joriah McLemore Sellers named one of her daughter's Aquilla."

Just had the best, most rewarding Christmas present ever. I could shout from the rooftop. Had to share with the group here. While doing some genealogy research on Christmas night, I had to go on my "tree" on ancestry.com. Ancestry has a new feature in its DNA section called "Circles." Within Circles, it matches the DNA one may have with others. For the last two years I have worked on my 3rd great-grandmother's parentage. I've worked hard to find proof or a source which would spell it out in plain English. I'd put together a good case for whom they might have been using their children and descendants. Well, tonight confirmation of my theory. I matched with several of my 3rd great-grandmother's siblings' descendants in Circles!!!! Sarah Joriah McLemore Sellers was the daughter of AMOS and EQUILLA/AQUILLA MCLEMORE. I matched with their children's (Moses, Richard, John, Amos, Elizabeth, and Lavenia) descendants!!!!! The only way I could have matched was for Sarah Jori
ah to have been a sibling of Moses, Richard, John, Amos, Elizabeth, and Lavenia with a common ancestor --- Amos. This was the best proof I could have asked for. To all my Sellers and McLemore kinsmen --- yay us!!!!!

James McKinney writes that Sterling paid taxes on 200 acres of land on Skaggs Creek as early as 1806, and may have been there earlier. McKinney also writes that in April 1805, William Bethuram (sic), a neighbor of Sterling's, married a Sarah McLemore. It is not known if this was Sterlings' youngest sister, Sally, or a daughter of Sterling's.
James McKinney adds that the land Sterling paid taxes on was on James Thompson's 4266 acre landgrant. Sterling did not have a deed to the property. In April 1807 James Kincaid bought the entire landgrant from Thompson's heirs. Sterling was present and was a witness, when the deed was made.
Paul Williams, noted, however that In a book dealing with Rockcastle (Kentucky) Pioneers it mentions a William Bethurum marrying a MARY McLemore in 1805 not Sarah/Sally---and that per another article dated 14 Oct 1987 "Family Research Manager" Loren C. Beougher of Raytown, MO cited "William Bethurum marriage to Mary McLemore 5 Apr 1805, Pulaski Co., KY"-- William is son of Benjamin -- Paul also noticed that one of the siblings of William & Mary [his name is Allen] also was shown as married to a McLemore.
Melba Gene McLemore shows that on the 1782 Surry County, NC Tax List he had no land, one horse, and a total taxable valuation of 6 pounds. She further indicated that the Feb. 1786 NC State Census for Surry County lists Sterlin, over 21, with a wife and two sons a two daughters. On February 25, 1787, he witnessed a deed for his father, in the Surry County Deed Book D:20. He is also indexed in the 1799 Deed Book G:113, Ephraim McLemore, deceased to Sterling McLemore.

He and his brother, Rufus, who both enlisted in the 26th Arkansas Infantry on the same day as Sterling, died in the same hospital just a few days apart.

Obituary
Death closed the life of Sterling Price McLemore on February 16, 1910.
His devotoing to his aged mother was beautiful and sacred.
To his sisters, he was ever kind and considerate.
All who knew him in life mourned his passing away in his forty-eighth year.
He had many qualities that endeared him to those who knew him.
He was symphathetic, he was just; he was both gentle and strong.
Altho' he had reached middle life, he had not grown old.
The same qualities that drew us to the boy were to be found in the man.
The home he has left is a monument to his loving providence for his dear ones.
The emptiness of this home yawns for those who leaned on him so confidingly. Little children loved him because in him they had a friend.
Life at its longest is but short. A rosy dawn, a golden moon, then a dusk stealing slowly o'er, or like a black could driven by a wind envelopes all this glory and Life'd Day is closed.
He was a grandson of James McLemore, one of the founders of the First Baptist Church of Montgomery County.
He has passed his life near the ancestral home established in 1813.

Feb 16, 1910
To my beloved brother
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.
McLEMORE, Sterling Travis from New Site, AL, passed away on April 3, 2009. Sterling was the youngest of ten children and was very much loved by his parents and siblings as the baby of the family. He will be greatly missed for his sweet nature, quick smile and intellect as well as his artistic ability. Sterling is survived by his father, Klenton Tranum McLemore, Jr.; his mother, Victoria Goodall-McLemore; his brothers, Paul Goodall, Scott McLemore, Davis McLemore, Mitchell McLemore, Will McLemore, Lee McLemore, Klenton McLemore III, Tranum McLemore & Richard Smith and his sister, Pam McLemore; uncle, Larry McLemore; aunt, Emily McLemore; uncle, Nick Powell; auntie, Janette and his many nephews, nieces and cousins. Sterling's numerous friends were compelled to be by his side and adored him dearly. A visitation will be held Sunday, April 5, 2009 at the Southern Memorial Funeral Home, 3154 Highland Ave, Montgomery, AL from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. A Graveside Service will be held at the Greenwood Cemetery, Montgomery, AL on April 6, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, a memorial contribution may be made to Palliative Care Unit at University of Alabama of Birmingham Hospital.

Nicole Brooks is interested in any photos or information on the slaves of Sugars McLemore. She is asking because her third great grandmother was one of them and with whom he fathered several children who are her direct ancestors. Her ancestors name was Amanda, and Sugars purchased her sometime around the mid to late 1840s in Memphis and took her to Brownsville. She remained in his household until around 1856 when she was then gifted to his daughter Nancy (Nannie) Dabney McLemore after she married Thomas Cole. If you have any information relating to the slaves held by this family, please contact Nicole at the email address below:

At the time of the above referenced census, 22 year old Adkins McLemore, born in Tennessee, was a border in the home of Alfred and Purlney Manning, both age 45, and both born in North Carolina.
Could this be the Sugar Atkins found in Gibson County, TN on later census enumerations? Probably not, as the Sugar Atkin McLmeore, husband of Mary, that was on the 1900 Gibson County, TN census was born July 1863. Perhaps this was instead a namesake a son of Sugars and Mary Jane (Taylor) McLemore?

Lawrence Boyd shows her place of birth as Ellis, Harrsion County, Virginia, unlike her siblings, who all were shown as born in Kentucky. Census records also seem to indicate she was actually born in Kentucky. He shows that she married three times. Her first husband was Ollie Clarence MEEK, and their date of marriage was 24 Jan 1914 in New Albany, Floyd County, Indiana. They were the parents of Ruth Olive Meek. She married second Thomas COOMER, on 25 Oct 1919. They were the parents of five children. She married third, sometime after the death of Thomas Coomer in 1934, Alonzo COCHRAN.

He may actually have been born as early as 1834, as the 1850 census shows him as age 16, and OLDER than his sister Bethenia, listed as age 14 on the same census.
Betty Pritchett writes that "He was the second Sydney Smith born to A. J. and Bethenia. The first Sidney was born in 1834 and died when he was one year old. Sydney and Eunice had one son named Jerry."
J.W. McLemore said that when he was younger, his big brother Hoy and double first cousin Terry would let him "tag along" with them. Terry would say, "I'm a pretty good guesser for my age." They were called "Terrible Terry" and "Horrible Hoy."
