NATIVE OF GEORGIA A native of Irwington, Georgia, where she was born Dec. 20, 1847, Mrs. McLendon at the age of 11 years came to Arkansas with her parents Mr. and Mrs. William P. John. Her parents made their home in this section of the state and were among the outstanding pioneer families of what is now eastern Cleveland county. Three years following the conflict between the North and South, she was united in marriage to Leonidas McLendon on February 27, 1868. He had also come to this section with his parents from Georgia preceding the war. To Mr. and Mrs. McLendon eight children were born, seven surviving their mother and father. For almost three-quarters of a century Mrs. McLendon had been a devoted member of the Methodist church. She united with this faith when about 15 years of age at Shady Grove church in Lincoln county. Followng her marriage she moved with her husband to what is now Whiteoak township and there they resided on their farm until 15 years ago when they moved to Rison where she has since made her home. Mrs. McLendon belonged to that fast disappearing group of pioneer men and women who went through the travail of suffering and privatation attendant upon the conflict between the states. It was shortly after the close of the war that both of her parents died a few weeks apart. During the more than 50 years of wedded life Mrs. McLendon and her husband were active in the religious life of their home community. IN her passing, Mrs. McLendon leaves 91 descendants, only one daughter, Mrs. D.S. chambers, and a small number of grandchildren and great grandchildren preceding her in death. Funeral arrangements were in charge of I.E. Moore Co. Undertaking department.
