• Notes

  The following information is from "A Mess of Lammons" by Elmer Burns Lammon ******************** General Notes: Info from James Edward Moore, Jr., 6145 Old Bethel Road, Crestview, Florida 32536 (1996). "James graduated from Mize, Miss. high school. He attended Junior College of Mississippi (Presbyterian) and graduated from Palmer Junior College (Presbyterian) in DeFuniak Springs and attended Presbyterian College in South Carolina. James got a degree from the University of Texas and Theological Degree from Austin Presbyterian Seminary. ANECDOTES - From Daddy Jim's (James E. Moore, Sr's) youth When he was a senior in high school he borrowed his uncle's Model T car and hit a cow. Demolished the car and landed up in the hospital. (James, Jr., when he was about the same age also had a bad wreck, sending him to the hospital with many injuries). James and Paul earned their college money one summer by peddling some new fangled can openers door to door. They sold like hotcakes, even though it was the Depression. They slept in churches and railroad stations and could usually talk the jail keepers into buying one. Travelled through about three states selling these. James and his brothers sold their family's garden vegetables door to door, using a horse drawn wagon as transportation. Granddaddy Arthur Moore always had a good garden. James worked at J.C. Penney's in South Carolina while in College; at Turner Dept. Store in DeFuniak; and at J.C. Penney's in Austin while attending seminary. He first met Jewett while trying a pair of shoes on her in DeFuniak - she didn't buy them, but he slipped them on her feet, and got a date anyway. ********************
