General Notes: The Lammon Tree by Avis, Irene and Sadie Lammon.
The following note from Rachel Johnson Rigby. (2000)
"My father, Charles Herbert Johnson, was married to Bessie Odom on March 9,
1911. Bessie was the daughter of Aaron and Roxie Odom. They were fine church
people. Roxie was the daughter of Rev. Joe G. Johnson (no relation), one
presiding elder of the Methodist Church.
Clyde was born September 6, 1912, and his mother, Bessie, died in December
1912. My father was devastated and suffered a complete breakdown of his health.
Mrs. Roxie Odom kept him and the baby until he recovered somewhat.
The Lord was good to my Father. He had bought a shoe repair shop in Evergreen
and pursued that vocation the remainder of his life. In 1915 he attended a Camp
Meeting in Dothan, Alabama, and met Sadie Lammon. They were married March
14, 1916 in Hartford, Alabama. They lived in Evergreen, Alabama. After marriage, Clyde came to live with them.
He was now 4 years old and dearly loved Sadie and never wanted her out of his sight. We never considered
him anything but a brother and to this day we all have a wonderful relationship. His children are so wonderful
and precious to us." ___ Rachel Johnson.
The following note from Clyde Johnson, 1996.
"My father was a great man. I know that is the conclusion of every son coming from a happy home situation.
However, many people, unrelated to Dad, voluntarily told me he was great. The same was true of my
stepmother, Sadie Lammon Johnson. She was a minister representing The Assembly of God Church, serving
as pastor of congregations, at various times, in Enterprise, Hartford, Opine, and Andalusia (all in Alabama).
Their positive influence on many of the people of that area was significant". ___Excerpt from "Some of My
Memories", Clyde Johnson, 1996
Note from Rosemary Rigby:
Pa Johnson
The last time I saw Pa Johnson, I was 8 years old and was standing outside an exit door of the hospital in
Andalusia, Alabama. I was too young to visit in person, so we exchanged our “I love yous” thru the glass door.
He was a man that loved his grandchildren and showed it in many ways. We never visited that he didn't have onhand a huge bag of M&Ms and frozen popsicles. He delighted in playing games with us, especially croquet and
Chinese checkers. He worked hard at his shoe shop and would come home and work hard in his garden.
There was always a watermelon on hand during the summertime and I can envision him scraping down to the
rind, enjoying every mouthful. At the end of the day, before devotions, I would crawl into his lap while he sat in
his big chair. He smelled of Mentholatum and his whiskers were rough against my forehead. It made me feel
secure and loved.
