    Notes 
    • Florence Jumonville's "Louisiana History: An Annotated Bibliography" shows that Thomas Milton McLamore, for his Master's thesis at L.S.U., wrote "The Civil War Campaign in Louisiana." It was 31 pages and completed in 1916.

      When he registered for the draft during World War I, he was living in Shreveport, Louisiana, and reported his place of birth as Colfax, LA. He was a teacher in Shreveport, at the Central School, and his employer was the Caddo School Board. He had served as a Sgt. in the Louisiana National Guard for four years. He was described as tall and of medium build, with blue eyes and brown hair. Middle name shown as MILLER by Rev. William McLemore, below, and as Milton in a biography of his son, James Whitman McLamore.

      Dear Melinda:

      I wasn't able to find James Whitman in my files.

      However, I did find a Thomas Miller (sic) McLemore born in Louisiana, July 5, 1889. He graduated from LSU in 1915 and is listed as a 1 Lt in the US Army in 1921. He appears in the 1900 Census as the grandson of David M. Smith in Grant Parish. In 1910, he appears in Grant Parish with Griffiin D. Smith as nephew.....

      From the Archives of Rev. William P. McLemore, 28 February 2008
