6. | Jewel Thomas Hedrick was born between 1898 and 1908 in Oklahoma; died on 22 Nov 1970 in Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas. Notes:
This is appears to be his record on the Texas Death Index, incorrectly showing him as a Female. This is understandable based on his unusual first name.
Hedrick Jewel 11-22-1970 NUECES F WIDOWED
And here is the record on the SSDI:
JEWEL HEDRICK 13 Feb 1898 Nov 1970 78408 (Corpus Christi, Nueces, TX ) (none specified) 464-38-9111 Texas
It has not been confirmed that the records above are for the same Jewel Thomas Hedrick that married Clara Belle Gaines.
After divorcing Clara Gaines, it is possible that Jewel Hedrick remarried, and was living in Kiowa, Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, listed as being age 22. His wife, also age 22, was named Effie, and they had a 2 month old son, Junior. Also living with Jewel and his second wife were his parents, Frank and Mary Hedrick of Tennessee. At the time of the 1920 census, Frank and Mollie Hedrick can be found in Damon Twp, Latimer County, Oklahoma, along with three children, Larante, Olie and Jewel. That census listing, however, shows Jewel as born ca 1908 instead of 1898. This may have been simply an error in the transcription, but should be resolved. It is also possible there were two Jewel Hedrick's.
Jewel married Clara Belle Gaines before 1927. Clara (daughter of Albert Coats Gaines and Minnie Bell McLemore) was born on 9 Feb 1910 in Altus, Jackson County, Oklahoma; died on 20 Dec 1999 in Houston, Harris County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

At the time of the 1930 census, 20 year old Clara was listed as divorced, and she and her daughter Charleen were living with her parents in Austin.

Her second marriage was to Chapell CRUMLEY, and they had no issue.

15. | Minnie Bell McLemore was born on 6 Mar 1875 in Bastrop County, Texas (daughter of Felix Harrelson McLemore and Clarisa Isabell "Isabella" Batey); died on 22 Feb 1968 in Austin, Travis County, Texas. Notes:
Her name was missing from the 1880 census enumeration.
Pleasant McLemore wrote to his grandniece Irene that Minnie's father, Felix, "sent her to me to break up a romance with a young man who he didn't approve of, I don't know if his plan proved a succes of not...." in a later letter he added that "my wife and I became fond of her when she was visiting us in San Antonio."
Her daughter Maurine reported that Minnie Bell was never referred to as Mrs. Gaines, but always "Minnie Bell." She was five feet tall, weighed only 89 pounds, and had a 25 inch waist, being "prissey as she could be."
She was a life long Methodist and very religious, not approving of her father owning a saloon, refering to it only as "father's business."
She died after a fall when she was 92, hurting her ribs and never recovering fully.
