- Daniel McColskey Lammon was educated at Macon Business College (Georgia) for two years where he studied mathematics and surveying. He returned to Alabama and married Beatrice and went into the sawmill business with his father and brothers in Whittaker, Alabama. They then moved the sawmill to Bonifay, Florida where their first child, Ruth, was born. Daniel was an excellent carpenter and constructed three homes for his family. He could entirely design and build houses. He was a bookkeeper and general manager of the Brewton Bargain House (Alabama) for a while. He later bought that business and moved it. He traveled in later years but maintained a more-or-less permanent residence in Graceville, Florida his last 20 years. He died of cancer in Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami on Jan. 22, 1945. He was buried in DeFuniak Springs, Florida, where his daughter, Ruth Lammon Bruner, lived. He was affectionately known as "Papa" to his children and five grandchildren.
--Ruth Lammon Bruner Winecoff
- All of the following are from notes and records of Ruth Lammon Bruner Winecoff, courtesy of her son Granger:
.... was in partnership in the sawmill and monument business. Then at age 3 weeks, moved by horse and buggy to Brewton, Ala. Furniture was shipped by railroad. Her father went to work as a "lumber tallier". Her mother taught kindergarten school until 1907 when they moved to a farm. Grandma Bailey gave Beatrice as her inheritance in Wicksburg, Ala* some seven miles from Slocomb. Ruth was first educated at home by her mother."
"In the winter of 1907 my mother, father and sister Inez and myself moved from Castleberry Ala. to Wicksburg, Ala., a small crossroad village. We came by train to Slocomb, Ala. and were met by my Grandmother's (Bailey) team of horses and carried out to her Plantation about eight miles north of that saw mill town and spent several weeks with her while my grandmother and father got things in shape for us to move into a long house with stickin-dirt chimney. The house had three rooms and a small porch. Within two years we had one of the finest houses in the community--a two-story home our father built.
