Lucretia Jane McLemore

Notes:

Sometimes her date of birth is shown as in 1833, as is the death certificate below. It is more likely to be 1838 per her age on various census enumerations and as Rosa McLemore Dunkerly shows that Wright, born in 1835, was the eldest child of Keton McLemore and Rebecca Harrelson.

Lucretia was married first to George Stedham, who died in 1876, and shortly after his death, she married Joseph Albert OEMISCH

However, she was still listed as Lucretia STEDHAM on subsequent census enumerations. Lucretia's sister, Rosa McLemore Dunkerly, said that Lucretia's "2nd husband Joe Eomish---went away, never heard of, 1 child Paul"

Rosa also notes that Lucretia had six children, two of whom died in infancy.

Norma Smith provided El Paso City Directory lisitngs from 1914-1920, and Lucretia J Stedman, the widow of Geo B, is shown as a nurse and living at 507 Tornillo.

Notes:

Melba Gene McLemore has her as married three times: (1) Wilbert H. KENYON (a/k/a W. H. GARLAND) on 28 Oct 1886 in El Paso (in a double wedding with her brother, George Keton Stedham at the county jail); (2) F. S. HANSON on 28 Nov 1887 in Ulvalde, and finally (3) Elmer Harley MAUK on 17 Jan 1916. As her name on the marriage certificate to Elmer Mauk was Viola Rucker, it appears she may have had another marriage between the one to F. S. Hanson and Elmer Mauk.

Elvira's mother had to sign a consent for Elvira to marry Wilbert Kenyon. Lucretia stated that Wilbert Kenyon was 26 and Elvira was age 16...although it appears she was actually only 13....and that there was no legal objection to the Marriage of said Kenyon and Miss Elvira Stedham.

Melba Gene McLemore provided the following obituary, which she in turn received from a Stedham researcher (nora31@aol.com).

Mrs. Elvira Mauk

Graveside funeral services for Mrs. Elvira Elizabeth Mauk, 83, of 2010 Magnolia Ave., who died in a local hospital Saturday, will be held at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday in Evergreen Cemetery with Bishop H.E. Turley officiating. Burial will be under the direction of Martin Mortuary.

Notes:

Paul's father abandoned the family when he was still young. He used the last name of Stedham, which was the name used by his mother and half-siblings.

This appears to be incorrect based on census records. He was listed as age 18 at the time of the 1930 census---living with his maternal grandparents. This would put his year of birth around 1912, and mean that he was alive until at least 1930.
