      Obituary

      Death closed the life of Sterling Price McLemore on February 16, 1910.

      His devotoing to his aged mother was beautiful and sacred.

      To his sisters, he was ever kind and considerate.

      All who knew him in life mourned his passing away in his forty-eighth year.

      He had many qualities that endeared him to those who knew him.

      He was symphathetic, he was just; he was both gentle and strong.

      Altho' he had reached middle life, he had not grown old.

      The same qualities that drew us to the boy were to be found in the man.

      The home he has left is a monument to his loving providence for his dear ones.

      The emptiness of this home yawns for those who leaned on him so confidingly. Little children loved him because in him they had a friend.

      Life at its longest is but short. A rosy dawn, a golden moon, then a dusk stealing slowly o'er, or like a black could driven by a wind envelopes all this glory and Life'd Day is closed.

      He was a grandson of James McLemore, one of the founders of the First Baptist Church of Montgomery County.

      He has passed his life near the ancestral home established in 1813.

      To my beloved brother

      The McLemore Burying Ground is about one mile off the Montgomery -Atlanta
      Highway to the right facing east, and is about five miles from Montgomery.
      It is on a knoll behind the old James McLemore home built about 1820. In
      1936 Mrs. Lizzie Taylor Dickerson occupied it. A low brick wall and
      iron fence surrounds the lot. Outside the main cemetery is another smaller
      one, also enclosed. There are graves of slaves and faithful servants, mostly
      unmarked outside all enclousures. Graves listed begin at the southwest
      corner of the plot.

      Marriage Book 2, Lowndes County Alabama
      Jan. 18, 1843 - Nov. 01, 1855

      These marriages records were first compiled from "Lowndes Court House," by Mildred Brewer Russell and/or the Lowndes County Historical and Genealogical Society's newsletters over the years. I then went to the microfilm available through the LDS (Morman) Church Family History Library and compared to the original marriage books. What is here is what was in the marriage books. As with Mrs. Russell's book and the newsletter, there are bound to be mistakes. Check the original books on microfilm to make sure of the information. I would appreciate any corrections you find in the marriage books so I can make those
      corrections here.
