General Notes: Info from self via phone (1996). John retired after a career in the US Postal Service. One of his passions was The War Between the States, on which subject he had an extensive library. He was a member of Sons of the Confederacy, having descended directly from a Confederate veteran, John Lammon. Another hobby of John's was the family ancestry. (See notes for John Lammon, for example.) Blessed with a very good memory, he remembered stories about the family that had been passed down from one generation to the next since the family left Scotland. He served in the US Navy. John Duncan, never having gotten a college education, was rightly proud of having put each of his three sons through college.

The following note is from John Daniel Lammon, William Patrick's brother:

"Elmer,

Here is the Info on my brother Willie that you had requested:
My brother's full name was William Patrick Lammon. He was known formally as "Will" on school rosters and such, but everyone always called him Willie. He was born on Jan. 22, 1960 in Miami Springs, Fla. He graduated from high school in 1978 from Jackson Academy in Jackson, Ala. He later completed undergraduate course work at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa and Patrick Henry Junior College in Monroeville. Willie eventually received his certificate as a physical therapy assistant from UAB in 1986. After graduation he worked for a year at Rotary Rehabilitation in Mobile from 1986-1987. He died Feb. 6, 1987 from cardiac arrest secondary to a grand mal seizure. He had been stricken with epilepsy when a teenager as a result of a head injury during a basketball game. After being diagnosed with epilepsy he suffered greatly from the numerous seizures and the lifestyle changes it required. His numerous medications would always leave him feeling tired and in a drugged-out state. The epilepsy also hampered his activity and he was never able to obtain a driver's license until the very end of his life when he had been seizure-free for a year. Still, he took it all in stride and usually kept his since of humor about the whole ordeal. He was well liked, had numerous friends, and was known for his dry wit."
