    • 1Rev. William P. McLemore, in a section on his website devoted to notable McLemore's (Website: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/3476/mclem1.htm), has the following biography:

      Ephraim Hester McLemore was born December 20, 1903 on the farm of his father, Tilghman Richard McLemore, west of Meadville, Mississippi. When he graduated from High School, he received an appointment to the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York. He graduated on June 9, 1928 and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Field Artillery. "Mac", as he was known by his army friends, soon arrived in the San Antonio area serving with the Field Artillery School at Fort Sam Houston. Here, he met Edith Adeline "Peggy" Pearman and they married November 10, 1931. June 1, 1937, Mac and Peggy moved to West Point, New York, where he became an Instructor in Mathematics at the United States Military Academy. It was here that their three children were born: William Pearman, Ann Schindler, and Tilghman Richard, October 21, 1940. During World War II, McLemore fought in the Pacific as an artillery officer for which he received several commendations including the Bronze Star Award. In July of 1948, he became the Assistant G-4 for the United States Armed Forces in Japan under General Douglas MacArthur. His military career ended with a medical retirement at Fort Monroe, Virginia, in 1955. His first wife had died and he remarried a Betty Sue Lindsay. After years of retirement in Front Royal, Virginia, he died November 19, 1973 and was buried in Arlington Cemetery.
