Elsie McGraw: Strong McLemore Ancestry

Generation: 1

Elsie McGraw was born on 29 Apr 1902 in Sabine County, Texas; died on 21 Jan 2003 in Leesville, Vernon Parish, Louisiana; was buried in Beech Grove Cemetery, Burr Ferry, Vernon Parish, Louisiana.

Notes:

Not listed with her parents and siblings on the 1910 census, and the 1920 census indicates she was 9, having been born ca 1911 or 1912. However, her obituary, the SSDI and FindAGrave all show her as born ca 1902. Perhaps the census enumerations were wrong?
