• Notes

  1. "Theron Lamar Caudle, Jr., United States Assistant Attorney General under President Harry S. Truman, was born in Wadesboro, North Carolina on June 22, 1904, the son of Theron Lamar Caudle, Sr. and Susie Gooch Caudle. His father was a prominent attorney. Lamar, Jr. was educated at Wake Forest, receiving his undergraduate and law degrees there. After passing the bar, he practiced law in his hometown of Wadesboro, becoming Western North Carolina District Attorney before assuming his national position. Lamar Caudle, Jr. was married to the former Fairfid Monsalvatage of Augusta, Georgia. They were the parents of four children: Theron Lamar Caudle, III of Dallas, Texas; Thomas Marshall Caudle of Atlanta, Georgia; Mrs. Bernard Kendall of Florence, South Carolina, and Miss Fairfid Caudle of New York City. A brother, Charles B. Caudle of Charlotte, died; his two sisters are Mrs. Charles Nelms Ingram of Florence, South Carolina and Mrs. Stancil Smith of Alexandria, Virginia. Mrs. Caudle died on December 3, 1961 and Theron Lamar, Jr. died on April 1, 1969. He is survived by his second wife, the former Ellen Hildreth of Wadesboro. Fairfid and Lamar are buried in the Caudle plot at East View Cemetery, Wadesboro." "Though not a charter member [of the Anson County U.D.C. Chapter], Mrs. T.L. Caudle was also active and enthusiastic, taking part on local, state, and national levels. Mrs. Caudle was literary agent for Sidney Lanier for many years." Taken from History of Anson County 1750-1976, by Mary L. Medley Pages 219, 270-271. According to Dr. W.R. Caudle, genealogist, Lamar served as Assistant Attorney General under Harry Truman from 1945 to 1951, when Truman fired him over a scandal in which he played no part. When the Attorney General appealed to Truman on Lamar’s behalf, he also was fired.
