Erdie married Nora Mae Lee about 1916 in Alabama. Nora was born about 1900 in Alabama; died about 1977; was buried in Higgins Cemetery, Athens, Limestone County, Alabama. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Shown as Mae/May Lee or Nora Lee on the vital records of her daughter and her three oldest sons. The Alabama Death Index listing for her youngest son, Horace M. McLemore, instead lists her as Mae Lee ROSE. It is possible that she remarried sometime after the death of her husband, Erdie McLemore, in 1939.

She does share a double headstone with Erdie M. McLemore at the Higgins Cemetery, however.
