Iladean McLemore

Notes:

Thursday, The News Courier asked if anyone knew the identity of an attractive young woman in a recently unearthed photo.

Friday, family members called identifying the woman as Ila Dean McLemore Tribble.
The photo was among a stack of photos delivered to Doris Estes by Johnny Allfrey, which he discovered while sorting his late father's belongings.

Allfrey's father, Horace Allfrey, operated a photography business in Athens in the 1950s and 1960s.

Horace Allfrey processed and printed the photo, which is believed to have been shot by a member of a photography club that met in the basement of First United Methodist Church. Mrs. Tribble died five years ago this coming week, according to her granddaughter, Kristy Tribble. Another granddaughter, Mandi McCown of Decatur, also called to identify the woman in the photo.

According to Kristy Tribble, her grandmother was the daughter of Homer McLemore, who at one time served on the Limestone County Commission, and Alma McLemore, who taught school at East Limestone.

The women said that their grandmother did some modeling in her younger years, but they did not know of the existence of this photo.

The News Courier is happy to get this photo to its rightful owners.

Mrs. Tribble Not Mrs. Presley

Athens, Ala (AP) Iladean Tribble, a widow with four children, was still single today after saying she would marry Elvis Presley during the weekend.

Mrs. Tribble said Sunday the wedding she had said would take place on Saturday didn't occur. When asked why not, she replied, "This is the sabbath day and I don't talk about things liek this on the Lord's day."

Throughout the weekend, Dr. George Nicholoupus, a frequent Presley spokesman, said reports of the wedding were not true. Mrs. Tribble had said Friday night "I am going to marry him" on Saturday.

When the alleged wedding day rolled around, the Athens Police Department estimated that about 150 persons milled around First Baptist Chruch here hoping to get a glimpse of the popular singer.
