Notes:

ROY McLEMORE, BOY OF FEW WORDS Ivy McLemore often told his children this story favorite story about his younger brothers: When Roy and Lee were rather small children, Roy received a new coin purse of the type that snaps together on the top. He was playing with it while sitting beside the fireplace one night, when he inadvertently snapped it onto his lower lip. In a voice showing some consternation he said, "Come hyar, Lee!" Lee was engrossed with something else and ignored Roy for the moment. In a somewhat more insistant voice, Roy repeated "Come hyar, Lee!." When Lee still had not come, Roy's voice rose in a crescendo and, with the purse pinching his lip, causing excruciating pain, he fairly screamed, "I SAID COME HYAR, LEE!!" (Submitted by Ivy's son, Bobbie McLemore)

1920 Federal Census It appears that Roy was working as an Oil Field Laborer in Iowa Park, Wichita County, Texas at the time of this census. His listing appears as follows: McLemore, John R. Lodger M w 24 S Tx Tx Tx Laborer Oil Field He is living in the Lodging home of Dale and Vivian PIERCE, both from Iowa. This census enumeration was completed in January, 1920. Living in the boarding home at the same time was Walter Winfield STRONG. In an amazing coincidence, meaning absolutely nothing, Walter's great grandson, Tom STRONG, would some sixty years later marry Roy McLemore's half first cousin, twice removed, Melinda McLEMORE.


Former President of Paris Junior College in Paris, Texas. The student union building is named in his honor. Tombstone is inscribed, 'TX, PFC, Company A, 358th Infantry, WW I, PH."

THE PARIS NEWS, 30 Apr 1961. 'On the eve of his retirement after 35 years association with Paris Junior College, Dr. J.R. McLemore, its president since 1929, died of a heart attack Sunday at 1:30 p.m. at his home, 2343 Culbertson St. Due to retire within a month as head of the college, he had been named honoree for the Ex-Students Association annual spring banquet on May 20, the same group having presented an appreciation plaque to him at the 1960 fall homecoming game. Joining the faculty of the two year old college in 1926 as basketball coach and instructor, he became its head three years later, and guided its growth, from obscure quarters in Paris High School basement and a shoestring budget, to a million and a half dollar plant, and a high scholastic standing. Monday evening, 'Doctor Mac's' body will lie from 7 to 9 p.m. in DeShong Chapel on the college campus, and Tuesday at 2 p.m. service will be held at Fry and Gibbs Funeral Home. Dr. Ronald Prince of First Baptist Church, where Dr. McLemore was a deacon, will officiate, assisted by the Rev. John Shuler of First Methodist Church. Interment will be made in Evergreen Cemetery. Surviving are Mrs. McLemore, the former Miss Willie Mae Robinson; these children: Capt. John Robinson (Pondus) McLemore, US Air Force, Panama City, Fla.; Mrs. Newton O. Felps, Baytown, and Mrs. Wallace Finfrock, Dallas; four grandchildren; these sisters and brothers; Mrs. Robert Morgan, Kirbyville; Mrs. Ollie Newman and Mrs. Clyde Wilkinson, Houston; Frank McLemore, Beaumont, and Ivan McLemore and Lee McLemore, both of Jasper. Son of Samuel M. and Rose Ella (Bean) McLemore, John Roy McLemore was born at Erin, Jasper County, 8 Jan 1896. He attended Sam Houston State Teachers College, Huntsville, and later, East Texas State at Commerce, receiving his master's degree from the University of Texas, and the honorary LLD from Howard Payne College. He studied for a time at the University of Dijon in France, after World War I service with the 90th Division, and wore the Purple Heart for injuries during that period. He married Miss Robinson at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R.M. Robinson at Biardstown, 27 Dec 1920, and they taught the nearby Burnett school together for two years. In the spring of 1926, Dr. McLemore taught French before joining the PJC faculty here for the fall term.

Later in life, she searched for her child, but was never able to locate the child. This was confirmed by Hank Votes in 1982.

Letters to the Editor

Written in response to an article about US 69 in Lumberton about a TxDOT project to construct a shoulder on a two lane highway

"In the early 1970s, I had the privilege of serving as the president of the Beaumont Salvation Army board. Also serving at that time were several astute community business men - Peter Wells , Ed Collins , Wes Callaway and Marcus Dougharty. We wanted to do everything and anything to improve the Boy's Club gym on Sabine Pass, which would require replacing it. Marcus Dougharty, our treasurer, and a banker by profession, said, "You can't do that."

"Why not?" we asked. "Because you do not have the money, and when your outgo is more than your income, your upkeep will be your downfall," he replied.
So we replaced some rotted timbers, shoveled up the old asphalt floor with shovels borrowed from the H.G. Nichols Co. and replaced the old floor.

So when we look at our economy remember the words of Marcus Dougharty, it still is as simple as that!"

(Research):Mary Susan Walden Moore emailed, on August 7, 2008, that when her mother, Ruby Lee Morgan "graduated from Kirbyville High School, she was a brain, but there was no money for college in those dark days of 1934. So her Mother (Minnie) suggested that she write to her Uncle Roy, the President of Paris Junior College, and ask for assistance. He wrote back and said that she could attend PJC, but she would have to work on campus. She could live with him and his family if she would help her aunt do housework, and help with the children. Those jobs would pay her tuition, and her room and board. He also made it clear in the letter that even though he was her uncle, he would not help her with her homework...she would have to do it on her own. Also, she would have to come up with transportation to get to Paris. She found out that a one way ticket to Paris was 100 dollars. She went around to all of the businessmen in Kirbyville and stated her case, and asked for a loan. When she had nearly given up hope, she courageously went to one of the more prominent professional men in town and stated her case with great passion, I am sure, because my Mom wanted to go to school so badly. He said, "Girly, I have loaned money to other girls in this town, and they have never paid me back, because they always get married and forget that they owe me money." She promised that she would not be like those other girls...and he loaned her the money. She said that train ride was so sad for her, because she had never been away from home before, and only had a oneway ticket. Uncle Roy was true to his word, and he never helped her, even though he was also her French teacher. She made Phi Theta Kappa while she was at PJC. Her brother Julian, who was later killed in WWII, dug stumps for a dollar a day, and sent her some of his wages. After she graduated in 1936, she moved to Houston, because there was no more money for further studies. She lived with her Aunt Emily McLemore Wilkinson, and she met my Dad, Lewis Walden, at church. When he asked her to marry him, she said yes, "but first I have to pay back the man in Kirbyville who loaned me 100 dollars to go to college."
And she did. She raised 3 kids, and went back to college in her forties, and earned her B.Ed. in Education when she was 49. Mom passed away in 2001."
