Daniel C. Lammon was a Navy man. He married a Lammon, but was divorced-- (Info from Frances DuBose.)
B&D-wife, Elizabeth "Betty" Maletzki
D.C. was named for his father, Daniel.
The following are from notes and records of Ruth Lammon Bruner Winecoff, courtesy of her son Granger:
Jewett was a cheerleader (the only one for several years) and seldom missed a sports event. Once the football coach admonished her brother, D.C. Lammon for not playing well and told him that if he did not improve his playing technique he was going to send Jewett in to take his place. D.C. played so hard, he broke his ankle but he would not come out of the game until it was over. When her brother D.C. was very young - possibly four years old, he prayed for a Billy goat. Every night. There wasn't a goat within miles of their place. But one night mysteriously one appeared at their door - just a little thing.
D.C. was overjoyed. His papa built him a little cart, complete with leather harness so the goat could pull D.C.and Jewett around for a ride. But the goat grew and got more unruly. One day he ran away with Jewett in the seat of the cart and tried to jump a fence, spilling Jewett out on the ground. That was to be the end of poor old Billy. They cut his throat and served him up for a meal; But Jewett cried and cried. She can still hear him yelping as he was killed. She refused to eat poor Billy.
