THE JAMES MARSHALL AND DAISY LOUISE DICKERSON LEMONS FAMILY James Marshall Lemons was the son of Benjamin Franklin Lemons (1858–1920) and Martha McGill Lemons (1861-1912). There were four children born to Marshall's parents: James Marshall Lemons(my grandfather) (1885-1939), Benjamin P Lemons (1888-1957), Loten Ezell(1892-1965) and Lucinda Lemons Couch Morton Mason((1894-1958). Marshall was married twice. He was first married to Minty Marinatha Woods Lemons (1885-1909). She died at a young age from tuberculosis. Marshall and Minty had two children - Homer (1909-1973) and Etta Edmonds (1908-1972). Marshall then married Daisy Louise Dickerson Lemons. Together they had nine children: Jennie (1913-2007); Joseph (Bud) LeMons (1915-2004): Marion (1919-1965), Henry (1917-2000); Elvon (1923-2006); Helen (1921-1998): Twin boys - Allen(1926-1989) & Albert (1926-1971); and Nada Lemons. THE LEMONS FAMILY By: DR. ANITA Price Davis Contributing Writer The Lemons family of Whitney has held a state and national record for more than 60 years. Yetmost of us in the county do not know about this local family's sacrifices. During World War II the Lemons family had seven sons in the same branch of service: the United States Navy. Of the seven, all came back, all served in the South Pacific, and mercifully, only one--Allen--suffered wounds. The month of September is an appropriate time to recall the sacrifice and accomplishments of the Lemons family as they can remind us to recognize others who served and those who now serve. On September 1, 1945--sixty years ago--on the United States battleship Missouri, Emperor Hirohito and President Harry Truman signed the formal document of surrender in Tokyo Bay. The President officially designated the next day--September 2, 1945--as V-J Day. September was an important month. World War II was over. Let us now review what the local Lemons family did. This is their story. Before her death from tuberculosis at 24, Minta ("Minthy") Woods Lemons and James Marshall Lemons had two children. After losing his wife, Marshall married seventeen-year-old Daisy Dickerson. They moved from Lockhart to Whitney in 1932. They would have nine children--six boys and three girls: When Marshall was only 51-years old, he suffered a stroke and paralysis on one side. Nada, the youngest of his daughters, remembers her father reading the Bible to her as he lay in bed. Two years after his stroke, he died when he was only fifty-three years old (December 19, 1885-January 12, 1939); his funeral services were at Whitney Baptist Church. Sadly, the family had to contact his son Joseph L. LeMons of the U. S. Navy about the death of his father; "Joe" was stationed off the coast of California. "Joe" was the first of the Lemons brothers to enter service.
