    Notes 
    • Richard Aubrey McLemore was born June 6, 1903 in Perry County, Mississippi, the son of Hezekiah McLemore. Very early, Richard excelled in the field of education and rose to the rank of administrator in several schools. He married Nannie Pitts in 1927 and they had one son, Harry Kimbrell. In 1937, Mr. McLemore accepted a position with Judson College in Marion, Alabama. One year later, he was elected head of the Department of History at Mississipi State Teacher's College. In 1956, he was named curator of the History Department at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. In 1957 Dr. Richard Aubrey McLemore left a position as professor of history and Dean of the University of Mississippi Southern to become President of Mississippi College. Dr. McLemore undertook a decentralization of top administration by setting up the positions of Dean of the College, Business Manager, and Dean of Students. Many libraries contain the definitive History of Mississippi written by Dr. McLemore. He died August 31, 1976 and is buried in Clinton, Mississippi (sic).
