Robert McLemore Butler notes they were also the parents of an infant that was born and died on 14 Dec 1908 (sic) It is assumed he meant 1928, as Elsie was listed as age 21 at the time of the infants death. The obituary of their son, Hollis Dale McLemore, also shows he was survived by brothers PETE and FLETCHER and a sister JUDY (SESSOMS), none of whom were listed by Robert Butler. The obituary of their daughter, Janice McLemore Melvin, also lists a brother Fletcher and sister Judy Sessoms, but instead of Pete, has a brother Ponzie---again not listed by Robert McLemore.
