Floyd married Minnie Lucille Clark. Minnie was born about 1897 in Alabama; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Minnie Lucille Clark was born about 1897 in Alabama; and died.

Notes:

On the FindAGrave memorial page of her husband, Floyd Horace Melemore,, their is a link to hsi wife, Minnie. The first name and age appear accurate, but due to the fact her headstone is inscribed Minnie Carawy McLemore, and that she is buried in a different cemetery than her husband, Pinecrest Cemetery & Mausoleum in Vidalia, Georgia instead of Riverdale Cemetery in Columbus, Georgia, this may not be correct. Other records should be examined to verify.

Children:

1. Paul Elmer McLemore was born on 20 Jul 1914 in Mississippi; died on 23 Apr 1997 in Texas; was buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery, Maydelle, Cherokee County, Texas.
Austin D. McLemore was born on 7 Jul 1916 in Mississippi; died on 2 Feb 1964 in San Francisco County, California; was buried in Hartley Cemetery, Lakeport, Lake County, California.
Clifton McLemore was born about 1919 in Oklahoma; and died.
Lorene McLemore was born about 1922 in Oklahoma; and died.
Vivian McLemore was born about 1923 in Oklahoma; and died.

Generation: 3

Isaac Matthew "Ivy" McLemore was born about 1872 in Mississippi (son of George Hiram McLemore and Louisa Moore).

Notes:

April Makerney shows that he and Affie were the parents of one son, Isaac Judson McLemore, born 13 May 1894 in Tupelo, Mississippi.

Steve Wayne McLemore emailed in December, 2009 that "Issac (Ivy) M. McLemore" was also the father of William A. McLemore, from whom Steve descended. The extended family, all descendants of George Hiram McLemore, used to have a reunion every Father's day in Ft. Towsen, OK."

The 1900 and 1910 census shows that Isaac and Affie actually had at least 10 children, nine of them still living in 1910.

It is POSSIBLE that he was a boarder in the home of Cynthia Duval of Dublin, Erath, Texas in 1920. A lodger, simply listed as McLemore, age 49, Married, and born in Mississippi was in her home at the time. His occupation was that of carpenter, house. Earlier census records indicated he was born ca 1872 in Mississippi, so this is a possible fit.

His brother's 1940 obituary referred to him as being "...of Santa Rosa, Texas." His great-grandson, Steve McLemore, states that Ivy died in Paris, Texas in 1945.
