    • Rev. 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:

      Tilghman Richard McLemore was born October 21, 1940 at West Point, New York, the son of Ephraim Hester and Edith Pearman McLemore. After graduating from Manatee County High School in 1958, he joined the United States Army as an enlisted man and found early duty with the Airborne Infantry in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. It was here that he met Clara Anne Chavis where they were married on January 6, 1960. Their first son, Tilghman Richard III was born May 20, 1960 and their last child, William Terry, was born December 6, 1961. Tim graduated from Florida State University in June 1966, and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force and soon transferred back into the Airborne Infantry where he promptly left for Fort Campbell, Kentucky, to continue his training. He immediately went to Vietnam and was killed by enemy fire in Hue, South Vietnam, May 6, 1968, during the Tet offensive. He was buried from Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Southern Pines, and laid to rest in Mt. Hope Cemetery of the same community."
