      William McLemore
      William McLemore, 63, lifetime Princeton resident died Sunday at 6:15 p.m. in Gibson General Hospital after a short illness. Mr. McLemore was born February 28, 1906 in Temple, Ind. in Crawford County. He had been a Cab driver for City Cab the past 20 years. He attended the House of Prayer. Mr. McLemore was member of VFW 1147 and a Veteran of World War II. Surviving are his wife, Laura McLemore; one daughter, Mrs. Anita Beard of Princeton; two sons, Jim McLemore and William Shoulders both of Princeton; one brother, Guy McLemore of Oak Ridge, Tenn. and 2 grandchildren. Services will be held Wednesday at 2 p.m. at Colvin Chapel with Rev. James Miller officiating. Friends may call at Colvin & Son Mortuary after 3 p.m. Tuesday.

      On his application for a Social Security account, completed on August 27, 1937, he listed his date of birth as February 28, 1907 in Temple, Indiana. It is assumed this date is more accurate, as it was completed by William himself, than the date in his obituary. His parents were shown as Wright McLemore and Sarah Longust. His employer at that time was Thomas Christian of Princeton.
