• Name	Sarah Ann E. Boyett  [1, 2, 3]
  Birth	22 Jan 1836	Lowndes County, Alabama   [1, 2, 4]

  Notes	When she was about 72 years old, S.A.E. Boyette was granted a pension based on her husband's service in the Confederate States army. In this pension application, she indicated that she had lived in Jasper County for about 50 years. On the pension application she reported that the only property she owned was 130 acres of land and six cows, and that she needed the pension as a means of subsistence. As the application was signed with her mark, it appears that she also was unable to read or write. Her tomstone indicates she lived to age 70. Ruby Boyett Burkett wrote that "we don't actually know when the McLemore family purchased it (the old Boyett homestead), but we feel surthe first McLemore owners were John and Sara Ann Boyett McLemore. She was Noah Boyetts youngest whole sister so the place was still partly in the Boyett family and so it happened that the McLemores began to bury their dead in the Boyett cemetery but renamed it the McLemore Cemetery. One of the McLemore relatives told us it had always been the McLemore cemetery but of course we know that is not the case. We know, for a fact, that one more Boyett was buried in the cemetery. I don't know the date of the last funeral but have a first person account of the funeral. My Aunt Lula Love Boyett, wife of Noah Jackson Boyett told me this story. On a cold winter day the youngest daughter of Noah and Susan was laid to rest in the Boyett Cemetery. She was Sarah Ann "Sallie" Bevil. Aunt Lula said by the time the graveside service had concluded they were about frozen so the McLemore family invited them in to get warm before they left to return to their homes. I seem to recall Aunt Lula saying the McLemores also served them refreshments? I would imagine they were served hot coffee and probably a desert. Several generations of the family lived in the home before it was finally replaced with a new, more modern home. At the time I went there to visit, Lee and Othalia McLemore were living there...... He then let me borrow pictures of the original home to bring to Beaumont to have printed and enlarged. I later returned the originals, along with enlargements and he was thrilled."

• Headstones		McLemore, John and Sarah Ann E. (Boyett) John McLemore with his second wife, Sarah Ann E. Boyett, taken ca 1998, while monument still standing
  		McLemore, John and Sarah Ann E. (Boyett)-fallen The weight and uneven balance apparently caused this headstone to fall, and this is how it appeared in September, 2007. The grave could be identified only due to the footstone for John McLemore, who served in the C.S.A. Fortunately, a photo had been taken of the upright marker some ten years earlier
