Jessie Leon Carmon is my father � There are a few things in the obit that are not correct (1) his name was Jessie Leon (not Lee, however, that�s the way it appeared in the Gazette), Leroy Carmon lived in Southaven, MS at the time of his death, not Friendship; Robert Franklin Carmon lived in Memphis, TN not Friendship and his brother Robert Carmon lived in Hernando, MS., not Tigrett. Also his sister in Menlo, GA�s name was Neldred Hill, not Mildred Hill.
