Anderson McLemore died December 1, 1896. Mr. McLemore was born in the
state of Georgia, October 3, 1818. He professed religion and joined the
Methodist Church and was made a Mason about the same time in Chambers
County, Alabama, from where he moved, sometimes in the forties, to
Arkansas, carrying with him love for the church and Masonry. He was
happily married three times, his first wife having been Miss Jane Ward of
Alabama; his second wife, Miss S. B. Holderness, of Arkansas; and his
lasts, who survived him, Mrs. S. P. Williams, Nee Miss Ashcroft. Twelve
children were born to the deceased; five by the first wife, three by the
second wife, and four by the third wife, but only four of these children
are living - one of the first and three of the last family. Mr. Anderson
first came to Hopkins County, Texas, in 1863, returning to Arkansas just
after the late war, but finally coming back to Hopkins County in 1869,
since which time and until his death he as been a resident of this
county, having made his home for the past few years of his life in
Sulphur Springs.
