  • I have seen Cleo's name is show as "Clero" or "Cletus". I am not sure which is correct, but my mother said he went by Cleo.

  • Cleo's parents were Alonzo Judson Lawler (b. Jul 13, 1849 in Randolph Co, AL; d. Jan 2, 1919 in Callahan Co, TX) and Mary Elizabeth Alsabrook "Molly" (b. May 16, 1855 in AL; d. Nov 18, 1936 in Callahan Co, TX). Alonzo is buried in Tecumseh Cemetery cem.
