Thomas Dickerson McLemore

Notes:

Art McLemore of Aledo recalls that his grandfather, Thomas,"told me when he was a child he remembered the Yankees coming through Alabama and taking his grandfathers shoes." Thomas also told his grandson, Arthur, that he had been born in 1857 in "Scottsburg, Alabama." He listed his brothers as John, Henery, and Will, and sisters as Jane, Sarah, Nancy and Hattie. He said his father was John McLemore, or Knoxville, Tennessee, and his grandfather Henery McLemore, "originally from Ireland." Art also shows his grandfathers middle name as Dickerson, not Dickeson, as shown on his death certificate below.

Notes:

One of her daughters, Cynthia Rudzis writes that Cleo "first married Lester Lafayette Knowles at a very young age and divorced a few years later.She then married Charles Roland Smith which ended in divorce in the early 60's. After she and her sister Deanie (Floyd Burnidean) moved to New Jersey, she met my father, Dominick Anthony Capozzolo. Third time was the charm. They married on October 20th, 1962 in Philadelphia, PA. My mother has three living children. Nancy, from her first marriage. Sharon from her second, and myself. There was also a son from her first marriage, Jimmy, who passed away at age 2....We always lived on the East Coast between New Jersey, Virginia, where I was born, then later Rome, NY, then back to Virginia."

Sharon Larson emailed that Cynthia Suzanne is Cleo's adopted daughter.

Notes:

Cynthia Rudzis writes that "Aunt Deannie" was like a second mother to me. Aunt Dean married once that I know of, to a man named Travis Taylor and had two children, Donnie and Patricia. I don't know of Donnie's status, but Patty passed in 1997 or 98. She and Mom moved to New Jersey together in the late 50's and there she met and later married my Uncle Bill Stibi. Aunt Dean was a long time employee of Gimble's in Philadelphia and outside of my Mom, was probably one of the funniest people I ever knew"

Her Social Security account was established in New Mexico.
