James ‘J. D.’ McLeod
James Dwyer ‘J.D.’ McLeod died peacefully on Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2007, at the home of his son in Galveston. He was born on the last day of December, 1912, and grew up in farming communities in rural Houston County and Cherokee County. During the Great Depression, along with tens of thousands of other young Americans, he rode the rails in search of work. He also worked as a truck driver hauling and peddling fruit and vegetables all over the Southwest. He joined the CCC on the first day enlistments were allowed and served several years.
In 1934 Mr. Tom Tyson, his supervisor in the CCC, loaned him enough money to lease a filling station at the corner of Highway 75 and the Old Montgomery Road in Huntsville, and the income from that enterprise allowed him to enroll for the first time at Sam Houston State Teachers College. Later he supported his studies by delivering Tastee Bread in Huntsville and surrounding communities.
He married Mozelle Moore in 1937, and after he completed his Master’s Degree the couple moved to the Rio Grande Valley where he became Principal and later Superintendent of Wilson School in Primera, near Harlingen.
At the end of World War II he was asked by Dr. J.L. Clark to return to Sam Houston where he began his college teaching career in the History Department. After additional graduate work at the University of North Carolina he began teaching Sociology, and continued in that department until he retired in 1979. During his teaching years he and his wife made numerous trips to Mexico, accompanying groups of students on the Sam Houston Summer Field School. He was a member of the Sociology Honor Society, Alpha Kappa Delta, and of the Huntsville Kiwanis club.
During the Civil Rights struggles of the 1950's and 60's he worked tirelessly for the cause of social, political and economic justice and equality for all Americans, and received awards and commendations from the Texas Commission on the Race Relations and the NAACP.
He was a skilled and enthusiastic fisherman, as well as a knowledgeable outdoorsman and woodsman. After retirement he and his wife, Mozelle, traveled extensively throughout the United States camping and observing birds and wildlife.
He is survived by his son, Tyson McLeod, his daughter-in-law Paulette, both of Galveston, and his granddaughter, Veronica, of Houston.
