    Notes:

    Place of birth, according to his application for a Social Security accounty, was Cameron, OK. He showed this same location when he registered for the World War II draft, as a resident of Sallison, OK. This draft registration also named Lucile Myers, of Bokoshe, OK, as the "person who will always know your address." Anthony indicated he worked for himself.

    His FindAGrave memorial page, created by Frances Allen Titsworth, links him to his spouse, Bessie Elizabeth McLemore (1898-1983), with whom he shares a double marker. When his widow, Bessie, applied for his military marker she also showed that he was a Gunners Mate, 1rst class, and had enlisted on 9 May 1917 and was discharged 20 Dec 1918. Bessie showed her residence as McCurtain, OK, presumably wher Anthony died.

    Anthony also has a miltary marker, inscribed with a cross, and the following:

    Anthony McLemore
    Oklahoma
    GM1 US Navy
    World War I
    Feb 10 1888 May 25, 1953
