George Franklin McLemore

Notes:

When he completed his registration for the draft for World War I, he was shown as a farm in Minto, North Carolina. He was single, and stated "I wish to help support my mother." His application was signed with an X, his mark. His date of birth was listed as 1894, a few years later than his actual birth date. He was shown as tall, slender, with light blue eyes and light hair.

His FindAGrave memorial page has a photo of his military marker, embossed with a cross, his name and dates, and "North Carolina, PVT Infantry, World War I."

At the time of the 1920 Federal Census, George was shown as a Farmer, and the head of a household consisting of his two older and two younger brothers. They lived in Sampson County, McDaniels Township.
