| 204 | General Notes: The Lammon Tree. Additional Info from Jane Atkinson Linton and Elmer Burns Lammon. Ed was the youngest of seven children. ********************************************* The following is part of a taped interview with James Edward's sister, Avis, in 1988. Avis had an excellent memory and other family members wanted to capture some of it for posterity. Present were Nancy Lammon, daughter of Elmer Fields Lammon; Donnie B Beagles, Ed's wife; Ann Lammon, his daughter; and Joseph Edward, his son. - EBL: NANCY: The little stories that Daddy used to always tell, the little funny stories - and Uncle Ed. Where did they get that? Was your daddy that way? AVIS: Yeah. NANCY: Or was your mother that way? AVIS: Mama was. NANCY: Just always telling little - AVIS: Lammons were all witty. The Fields were always kind of strict, straight-faced, straight-laced. DONNIE: Like Aunt Irene. AVIS: Yeah, Aunt Irene got hers. ANN: She's a Fields, isn't she? AVIS: She's a Fields. DONNIE: Irene never has crossed her legs. AVIS: She said Papa told her that the ladies didn't do that. NANCY: Oh, really? Ann, uncross those legs. ANN: Well, I remember Daddy saying that Papa said that women - he said a whistling woman and a cackling hen - AVIS: And a crowing hen. NANCY: What now? AVIS: Yeah, because a whistling woman and a crowing hen never comes to a good ending. ANN: That's right. And Daddy said that a crowing hen - you know, sometimes a hen will try to act like a rooster and cackle. And they said Granddaddy would go out and kill it if it did it - right then - and I don't know if that's - EDDIE: We never did whistle in our house either. NANCY: Oh, really? EDDIE: Huh-uh. Ed Lammon wouldn't permit whistling in the house. DONNIE: You didn't cut up at the table either. NANCY: Listen, Aunt Donnie, have I not ever told you that my mama and daddy used to threaten us when we were little, if we misbehaved, they would send us over to live with Uncle Ed? I'm serious. They did. And you talking - it's the truth - and you talk about straightening up. We wouldn't open our mouth for days. I'm serious. That's true. That was the truth. And we'd come over to spend the night - I'd come over to spend the night with Ann. And we'd get tickled at the table, and he'd get so mad. Or we'd go to bed in there and get to laughing, and you couldn't stop. And, I mean, he wouldn't put up with that. And Daddy, he didn't have any problem with that. He never made us behave or what - ANN: Honey, Daddy wouldn't put up with anything like that. All of our friends were afraid of Daddy. NANCY: Tell me about it. AVIS: I remember something about when y'all were little, and other folks trying to - NANCY: Yeah. I'm telling you, it's part - EDDIE: It's a matter of record here. NANCY: That's exactly right. That's part of the real record. ****************************************************************** James Edward Lammon, known to everyone as Ed, came into the world in 1911. He was the youngest of the children of Edward Barnes Lammon and Alice O'Keith Fields, and, according Avis, Irene, and Sadie, they spoiled him. In an interview, Avis said, "Edward was the baby of the family, and we all spoiled him because he was real, real sweet." The Lammon boys - and this included lots of Ed's cousins, too - were well known in Hartford for their pranks and practical jokes. The following story was told to your editor by James Hardwick. [But, a little background first: James Hardwick, in a telephone conversation, after I had received this story from him, asked me if I knew anything about the Assembly of God Church. Answering that I was aware of it but had never attended a service, James explained that they believe that the end of the world - the Second Coming of Christ - will be soon. In other words, we are living in the last days, according to prophecies that have been fulfilled, and the world could end any time now! - EBL] One breezy, dark, Sunday night, during church service, James Edward Lammon and one of his buddies were flying their kites, but not in the usual way. Usually, people fly kites during the day. Up to their usual pranks, however, they had tied cattails to their kites, cattails that had been dipped the in kerosene and set afire! The kites, invisible at night, were aloft with those cattails attached, now lighted, blazing! Someone sitting close to a window, looked out and saw that the sky was on fire! Others saw the fire. They must have thought that judgement day had come, since all they could see was the fire floating about in the sky. The meeting broke up, as James recalled. Another incident, this one related to the editor by Rachel Lammon, daughter of Lee, and Ed's first cousin: A fully assembled carriage was found atop the roof of the Alabama Hotel in Hartford one morning. The culprits were never found, but Lammon family insiders knew who did it. According to James Hardwick, Ed played the drums in the Coffee County High School Band. All of the Lammon boys seemed to have an aptitude for mechanical things, and Ed was particularly talented. ******************************************************************* The following is compiled from stories told by Avis Lammon Atkinson and Donnie Beagles Lammon and is contributed by Joseph Edward Lammon: In 1924, I believe, Edward Barnes Lammon, being the eldest of his brothers and sisters, moved to Enterprise with his wife O'Keith to work as a millwright. Of his seven children, two were still young enough at this time to live in his household, Avis and James Edward. Another son, Elmer, was in the US Navy at the time and later moved to Enterprise. Ed's father, Edward Barnes Lammon, died of Bright's disease in 1925 at the age of 53. O'Keith and the two youngest children later moved from Enterprise to Dothan to live with her eldest child, Sadie and her husband, Charles Herbert Johnson. Ed worked for Herbert in his shoe repair shop in Enterprise. Herbert's son, Clyde, was only a year younger than Ed was and they became good friends. About the time of the depression, 1930 or 1931, James Edward left home to avoid being another mouth to feed and became a hobo for about 3 years, traveling first to Florence, South Carolina, in 1930 to visit sister Avis. Avis was married and already had her first baby, John Keith. James Edward visited only briefly and, declining Avis' invitation to stay longer and perhaps get a job there, left for California. There he worked as a farm laborer in the San Joaquin Valley, near Merced, picking oranges, cabbages, lettuce, fruit, and whatever was in season. James Edward, being a fairly muscular and tough physical specimen, also spent some time there as a prize fighter, probably the bare-knuckle variety. He returned to Enterprise in about 1934 or 1935, where he took a job with Herbert, sister Sadie's husband, who owned a shoe repair shop. "Herbert said that Ed could repair shoes better than anyone who had ever worked for him, if he wanted to," Avis recounted many years later. Later, he worked at the funeral home, and the Ford place, and often ate at Carmichael's Café. Ed was a good customer there and Mr. Dan Carmichael liked him. Working for Dan Carmichael was a young lady named Donnie B Beagles, who worked there as a waitress. Mr. Carmichael said to Donnie, "?now, Miss Donnie, you just fix your plate and when he comes in, you sit down with him and eat." Because she was too modest, she wouldn't do it, but they did meet later and, after a whirlwind courtship, married one night at midnight in 1936. Colley Pittman, probate judge, did the marrying. They moved to DeFuniak Springs, Florida. This made Dan Carmichael "fuming mad", Donnie said later, having encouraged the couple to meet, and afterwards losing a good waitress because of it. Following are Ed's Obituary and a proclamation honoring him: ED LAMMON Funeral for Ed Lammon, 70, will be held Friday at 2 PM. from the First Baptist Church of Enterprise with Dr. Bill Montgomery and the Rev. Burney Reese officiating. Burial will follow in Meadowlawn Cemetery with Searcy Funeral Home directing. The body will lie in state at Searcy Funeral Home until one hour prior to funeral time. Mr. Lammon died Wednesday in his home. He was a longtime resident of Enterprise and operated Ed's Restaurant until his retirement in 1973. He was a member and deacon of the First Baptist Church where he taught a Sunday school class for many years. He was also a member of Gideons International. Survivors include: his wife, Mrs. Donnie Lammon, Enterprise; one daughter, Ann Day, Enterprise; two sons, Elmer Lammon, Tampa, Fla., Dr. Eddie Lammon, Enterprise; two sisters, Irene Hardwick, Dothan, Avis Atkinson, Hartford; one brother, Otis Lammon, Montgomery, and six grandchildren. PROCLAMATION WHEREAS J.E. Lammon has given precious evidence of his walk with the Lord Jesus, and WHEREAS Ed Lammon has faithfully served his Lord as Sunday School teacher and deacon in the First Baptist Church of Enterprise, Alabama, and WHEREAS Ed Lammon has shown his concern for spreading the gospel by personal soul winning and Christian counsel, and WHEREAS Ed Lammon believed in the authority of the Scripture and promoted its distribution through Gideons, International, and THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the deacon body of the First Baptist Church of Enterprise convey to his family their love, respect, and admiration and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Ed Lammon's memory be honored by having an Adult Sunday School Class bear his Christian name, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we seek as a church to continue the work to which Ed had committed his life and resources. This being done the 1st day of May, 1982, Jerry W. Byrd, Chairman of Deacons Maxie Searcy, Vice Chairman John Moates, Secretary The following note from son, Elmer: Daddy had an extraordinary amount of mechanical ability and ingenuity. He could fix almost any mechanical device. At various times, he was an auto mechanic and accumulated a mechanic's uniform from every car dealer in Enterprise. I think he had a low tolerance for supervision, would get unhappy and change jobs. Unafraid to ?take a swing? at a new venture, but lacking the capital and business skills to succeed, he started several small businesses that failed: a stock car racing venture in Montgomery, an electric motor rewinding shop, a poolroom, an ice cream parlor, "Ed's Big Cone". (The racing venture ended with the whole family being chased out of the race track one night when there wasn't enough "gate" to pay the prize money.) I remember that he decided against a McDonalds franchise in Enterprise because he would have had to pay 5 or 6 % of sales to the parent company. Finally, in about 1952, in a move that put me all the way through college, he and mother started ?Lammons Café?. It was named that until Daddy bought a new sign with shimmering sequins on it (a new development at the time), for which the signmaker charged by the letter. They changed the name to "Ed's Restaurant" and joked about it, although I never could figure why he didn't give her some credit in the name of the business. He kept the books, paid all the bills and taxes, fixed everything that needed fixing. He opened every morning for breakfast and stayed until Mama came in later. He cut all the meat, including grinding the hamburger meat, went to Panama City every week or two to pick up fresh shrimp and fish. Mama always said she couldn't have done it without Daddy's support. They were a good team. Daddy always had a quick temper and was hard to deal with, for me, anyway, and for Ann, too, I know. As children, we were afraid of him. When I got old enough to drive, I knew that, before asking for permission to use the car, it was very important to try to find him in a good mood. It seemed to me like he was almost never in a good mood, and when permission was given, it was given grudgingly. Maybe this is something all boys go through but I don't think so. Anyway, he sort of mellowed later in life, and his main job, it seemed, at Ed's Restaurant was to sit out front and drink coffee and talk and joke with the regular customers. They claimed to have solved many of the world's problems at the coffee table! | Lammon, James Edward (I322)

| 212 | Historian. ?."CBS SportsLine takes a look back at some of the most memorable games in Orange Bowl history. Jan. 1, 1965 Texas 21 Alabama 17 The Crimson Tide, led by Joe Namath, had already been named national champion, succeeding the Longhorns, so this first major bowl game played at night was for bragging rights between the last two national champions. The Longhorns jumped to a 21-7 lead, but Namath - who did not start due to a knee injury but came off the bench to finish with an Orange Bowl record 18 pass completions for 255 yards - led the Tide back into contention. He threw a 20-yard TD pass to Ray Perkins in the third quarter, and engineered a drive that resulted in David Ray's field goal early in the fourth to make it 21- 17. Jim Fuller's fumble recovery at the Texas 38 set the Tide up for the potential winning score, and Namath moved Alabama into position with a pair of pass completions that carried to the five. But Steve Bowman was stuffed on three straight carries, and finally, Namath was stopped on a quarterback sneak at the one on fourth down. Alabama had one more possession, but it ended when Namath's future New York Jets teammate, Pete Lammons, picked off one of his passes." Pete played in the 1967 All-Star Game. In 1967, he set the AFL, tight end, receiving record: 8 catches for 141 yards, the most yards in a single game. Pete Lammons played on the World Championship football team of 1968, in the most famous Super Bowl of all - now known as Super Bowl III - in which a lowly AFL team beat the best of the NFL for the world championship. To much of America, and certainly to the NFL, the American Football League was somewhere between a minor league and a joke. The Jan. 12, 1969, game wasn't called the Super Bowl then. That would come a year later. This game, tickets for it said, was the Third World Championship Game. Ticket cost was $12. It was during this game that quarterback Joe Namath made good on a preposterous guarantee -- that his New York Jets would beat the seemingly unbeatable Baltimore Colts. They did, 16-7. "Maybe Jets tight end Pete Lammons put it best. As NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle entered New York' s locker room to present the trophy, Lammons shouted: "Hey, Pete Welcome to the AFL " [Taken from an article: Namath, Jets make statement for AFL, By BRUCE LOWITT, St. Petersburg Times, published December 9, 1999] | Lammons, Peter Spencer Jr (I398)

| 226 | Info from James Edward Moore Jr. The following note from Quinton, herself, December 2001: Quinton Inez Moore, (called Quin), eldest daughter of Jewett Lammon Moore and James E, Moore. Born March 25, 1933 in Slocomb, Ala. Graduated Leon High School, Tallahassee, Florida, 1951. Graduated from Florida State University 1955 with BS in Journalism. Married LeRoy R. Sherrer of Bay City, Texas, on Christmas Day, 1955 at the Walton Hotel, DeFuniak Springs, Florida. LeRoy's having already earned a Math degree from FSU 1954, the couple moved to Houston where he studied engineering at the University of Houston. Quin did postgraduate study during this time. After he earned his engineering degree, they moved to Titusville, Florida where LeRoy was an aeronautical engineer with NASA until he retired. Quin was a newspaper reporter and magazine feature article writer. In the past 16 years she has written or co-authored 22 Christian books, primarily on prayer and strengthening the home. Several have been best sellers in the Christian market. Her latest book, "God Be With Us-A Daily Guide To Praying For Our Nation" was written for Time Warner Books right after the September 11, 2001 tragedy in our nation. She has spoken on more than 250 radio and television stations and speaks at women's conferences both in the U.S. and other nations. Following his retirement, LeRoy attended Bible school in Dallas where all three of their children graduated. From there they moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, for LeRoy to serve on a church staff. Their three children, Quinett, Keith and Sherry eventually relocated to Colorado Springs. Now, Quin and LeRoy can enjoy their six grandchildren. (Dec 2001) Notes written by Quinton Inez Moore, furnished by R. Granger Bruner from the archives of Ruth Lammon: From Quin's Memory bank: During the Second War when you had to cut your own bread, James, Jr., got the butcher knife used for cutting bread and tried to cut some small pieces of wood with it for his kite. "James, put that down or you'll cut your finger off," his older sister warned. Just then he sliced his little finger. He held it in his hand while mother took him to the doctor to sew it back on. It was crooked but because it was still hanging on by the skin, they were able to save it! Praise God. Another time James and Arthur found some kind of medicine or poison of some type and offered to let Quin taste it if she wouldn't tell on them. When she tasted it, she feared all three would die so she "told Mama" who panicked and cried and poked bread and milk down all of us. I prayed and prayed I wouldn't die and the next day being Sunday I tried to join the church... Another time in Conroe a mad dog got loose and James, Jr. had to climb a tree until he got out of our yard. Our little doggie had to be tied up and kept that way for days to be sure he didn't get rabies from the mad dog. It was very frightening. | Moore, Quinton Inez (I470)

He joined the navy during World War II where he served as a mechanic on a destroyer. He was honorably discharged from the navy. His trade was that of a diesel mechanic. An accident caused the loss of vision in his left eye from which he was medically retired at the age of 49. He spent the remainder of his life doing odd jobs as a mechanic, operating a service station, and owner/fisherman of his own commercial fishing boat. He had a heart attack in 1976 from which he recovered. In 1979 he died in his sleep from a fatal heart attack. My father was an avid outdoorsman who loved to camp, fish and hunt. He taught me to love the outdoors, and I, in turn, have done the same to my children." ----John Floyd Lammon | Lammon, James Floyd (I382)

Had a happy childhood growing up in a neighborhood with many children my age. The Army called in 1950. I missed going to Korea by the skin of my teeth. Completed basic training and advanced artillery (155 mm Howitzer) at Fort Benning Ga. next to my hometown. Completed my tour of duty in Germany. Enjoyed directing artillery fire but not the Army life. Retired from Georgia Power Co.

| 248 | JAMES MONROE LAMMONS (1924-2008) Dr. James Monroe Lammons (Jim), 84, resident of Houston, Texas, died unexpectedly on October 25th, 2008. He is survived by Herminia, his wife of 55 years; children Linda Smock and husband Ron of Albuquerque, New Mexico, James G. Lammons and wife Debra of The Woodlands, Texas, and John T. Lammons and wife Maura of Houston, Texas; grandchildren, Sean and Adam Smock, Noah and Leah McCann, Nathaniel Lammons, Elle and Mia Lammons. He is also survived by his sister Mary Jane Jacobs, and many dear nephews and nieces. Jim was preceded in death by his parents John Monroe Lammons and Aurelia Isadora Perry; brothers Perry, John and Charles; sisters Betty and Margaret; son James Alexander. Jim was born October 6, 1924 in Kansas City, Missouri. He and his brother Perry joined the Marine Corps immediately after high school graduation at the ages of 17 and 18 respectively. They remained together through boot camp, radio school, and training at Cherry Point, NC. They were separated in 1943 when Jim joined VMSB 331 in the Marshall Islands. He returned stateside in 1944, shortly before Perry's death. Jim finished his enlistment in 1946 after serving with VMSB 244 in northern China. Dr. Lammons earned his BS from Kansas University, his MS in Geology from Wichita State University, and his PHD in Micropaleontology from Michigan State University. His travels took him to Venezuela where he lost his heart to Herminia Sanchez. While keeping a home base in Wichita, KS, Jim and Herminia lived abroad in South America and the Caribbean for most of his career in the oil industry. Jim specialized in oil and gas exploration primarily in the Amazon Basin. In more recent years, he worked as an independent oil and gas consultant concentrating primarily on the US Gulf Coast. Jim died suddenly, while visiting his daughter in New Mexico, a few days before he and Herminia were due to return home. His last remaining days were spent enjoying the beautiful mountains of New Mexico, admiring the brilliant fall foliage, visiting with family and friends, and watching the World Series. Dr. Lammons' family and friends feel very blessed to have had such an exceptional man in their lives. He always placed family first. Above all, he taught by example, to delight in the world around us and to love and respect each other regardless of background or beliefs. He was a devoted husband, father, brother, and friend. Rosary and Mass will be offered at St. Ignatius Loyola Catholic Church, 7810 Cypresswood Dr., Spring, TX, 77379, on November the 9th from 7:30-8:30pm (Rosary) and November the 10th at 1:00pm (Mass). Internment will be at the Houston National Cemetery, 10410 Veterans Memorial Dr., Houston, TX 77038, immediately following the Mass.

| 249 | John Duncan Lammon contributed the following: "John Lammon was the second son and seventh child of Duncan and Nancy Ann McColskie Lammon. As a young man of twenty-one, hearing that The War Between the States had started, John volunteered and enlisted at Abbeville, Henry Co., Alabama. Private Lammon was assigned to Company B, 6th Alabama Infantry, an early company sent to Virginia and led by General Joseph E. Johnston, Robert E. Lee's predecessor. In the Battle of Seven Pines, seven miles from Richmond, Virginia, on May 31, 1862, a two day battle ensued. John's infantry had the great honor of leading the charge against McClellen's northern army of 120,000 men. The battle occurred during heavy rains and muddy fields. John took a bullet in the left groin area. Though he was down, his army pushed on. John found a muddy, water-filled hole that the area pigs had rooted out and crawled in. He stayed there for two days until the plantation people found him. For three months they nursed him back to health. It is said that the muddy water clogged John's wound and prevented him from bleeding to death. When he left, these kind, plantation farmers gave him a blanket. John always talked about that blanket and said that he wanted to find these people and thank them for their kindness and for the blanket. But because John's family was a poor family, he was unable to accomplish his wish. After his recovery, John left to return to his outfit. But his war wound left him with a permanent limp and he couldn't keep up with his unit, so he was sent to Hartford, Alabama, to recruit other soldiers for the South's cause. John was the father of nine children, three of whom died while young. For a living he was a postmaster, a census taker, a tax collector, taught school for a short time, but mostly he farmed. John had beautiful red hair and a long beard. His wife said that she had never seen him clean shaven, because when she met him, he had a beard, and when she died three and one half years before he did, he still had the beard. When John was about 75 years old, the state of Alabama finally approved pensions for all Confederate veterans. When his wife Frances Elizabeth--Lizzy--died in 1919, John purchased, with his pension money, a beautifully imposing 7-foot double cemetery monument in the Hartford cemetery. Three years later, on 15 January 1923, John died and was buried next to his wife of forty-plus years, still carrying the Civil War bullet imbedded in his left groin." --John Duncan Lammon, P.O.
