• Name	John A. McLemore  [1]
  Birth	30 Dec 1904	Picayune, Pearl River County, Mississippi   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Death	27 Sep 1997	Picayune, Pearl River County, Mississippi   [1]
  Burial	New Palestine Cemetery, Pearl River County, Mississippi   [1]
  Notes	John McLemore completed an application for a Social Security account on November 28, 1936, showing himself as age 32. His address at the time of the application was 338 Palestine Road, Picayune, Mississippi, and his employer was Goodyear Yellow Pine Co. John reported that he was born December 30, 1903 in Picayune to William Robert McLemore and Liza Parker,both deceased. His brother, Sim Joseph McLemore was also employed by Goodyear Yellow Pine, and completed an application for a social security account a few days prior to John. Sim listed his date of birth as December 13, 1903. As it would be nearly impossible for Sim and John to be born only 17 days apart, to the same parents, in 1903, it is assumed that John and Sim were actually twins, or that one or the other had the wrong age and year of birth listed on their social security application. John's headstone is engraved with the DOB of 30 December 1904, assumed to be correct.
