| 256 | 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)

| 257 | Info from James Edward Moore Jr.: Ann Lois Moore Hawryluk wrote the following. Copy obtained courtesy of Granger Bruner, son of Ruth Lammon. -- EBL "Ann Lois Moore Hawryluk attended Belhaven, Miss, College after graduating from Leon High School (where she was in May Court her senior year). Enrolled at FSU in 1959 and attended two years. Married Peter Paul Hawryluk (a Princeton graduate) on Feb.20, 1960, in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida They moved to Philadelphia for 2-1/2 years and then to Miami. Florida, where Pete was employed as electrical engineer for General Electric. Ann continued her schooling at the University of Miami. "The following account is written by Ann Moore Hawryluk, the daughter of Jewett Lammon Moore and James Edward Moore: Here is a brief history of the Lammon lineage from its first American beginnings. John D. Lammon, (Jewett's first cousin), generously provided this information in January 1999. He has a wealth of knowledge concerning the family history, which was handed down from one generation to another. John D. is a great reference and can be contacted at P.O. Box 696, Jackson, Alabama, 36545. His phone number is (334) 246-4493. His lovely wife is Melanie. He has two sons living in the Tuscaloosa, Alabama, area who are probably very informed of the family history, as well. Here is my recollection of what he told me and what I already knew of my mother's parents and siblings. "Sometime during the last quarter of the 18th Century, my great-great-great Grandfather, Duncan Lammon was the first ancestor to reside in America. He was a young man approximately 26 to 28 years old when he committed some infraction in his native country of Scotland. Fearing the King's wrath and possible beheadment, he hid out one night and stowed away on a ship which ultimately brought him to America (specifically North Carolina). Before fleeing Scotland he confided his plan of escape to his parents who admonished him to always remember to name the first born sons in subsequent generations, Duncan, after the King. We don't have a great deal of information about this ancestor other than he married after his arrival in America and had many offspring one of which was his first son, Duncan, who was born in 1792. [Actually, Duncan had an older brother, Daniel, who was born in 1787. - EBL] This second Duncan is my great-great Grandfather. The original Duncan did later learn from his kinsfolk in his native Scotland that the infraction that he perceived to be great enough to merit risking his life to escape to America was later deemed very minor and only a minimum penalty would have applied. The descendents of the original Duncan are scattered throughout the country including factions in Alabama, Michigan, Ohio, upper NY State, Pennsylvania, Idaho, and Texas. "My great-great grandfather, Duncan, as noted, was born in 1792 and was of the first generation with its beginnings here in America. He married a woman named Ann. He settled in Alabama through the most extraordinary circumstance, He was on a wagon train that had stopped for camp in the Ozark area in 1833. On that particular night the " stars fell on Alabama" and it was such a momentous and astonishing event that those who were gathered there were certain that it was surely the second coming of Christ. So bedazzled by the occurrence he decided to settle there considering, I presume, that it had been a sign from God. He and Ann are buried in Ozark, Alabama, at the Post Oak Methodist Cemetery (not to be confused with the Post Oak Baptist Cemetery). "This second Duncan and his wife Ann had several children. John Duncan Lammon was their first born son though they had daughters preceding him. John Duncan is my great-grandfather and was born in 1839. He and his wife had nine children and, Daniel, my grandfather was their seventh. John Duncan subsequently joined the Confederate Army and was assigned to the 6th Alabama Infantry, in Company B. We do not know his rank. He is buried in the Hartford, Alabama, City Cemetery along with MANY of our Lammon ancestors. There is a very tall monument that marks his grave in that cemetery which my cousin, John D. Lammon, has in recent years had restored (the base had deteriorated). "My grandfather is Daniel Lammon. He married my grandmother, Beatrice Bailey, and they had four children, Ruth, Inez, D.C., and my mother Jewett, who was the youngest. Ruth was born in 1901; Inez was born in 1905; D.C.'s birth year is uncertain but he is older than Jewett who was born June 3, 1910. Daniel and Beatrice raised their children in the Slocomb, Alabama and Graceville, Florida, areas. Daniel was an accomplished carpenter. He worked at a lumber mill in northwest Florida during part of his life. He also built houses. Daniel Lammon is buried in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. He died in the mid-1940's." Ann Moore Hawryluk. The following note from Ann: Ann Lois Moore Hawryluk was born in Alice, TX (although birth certificate says Falfurrius, TX) on March 20,1939, the youngest child of Jewett Bell Lammon Moore and James Edward Moore, Sr., a Presbyterian minister. Ann was educated in Florida schools from elementary through university levels. She graduated from Leon High School in Tallahassee, in 1957. Initially, she attended FSU beginning in Jan.1958. During her sophomore year she married and subsequently, due to her husband's two separate career assignments in Florida, she was able to attend University of Miami and later University of North Florida where she graduated with a BA degree in 1975. On February 20, 1960, in Ft. Walton Beach, FL, Ann married 1st Lt. Peter Paul Hawryluk, a 1955 graduate of Princeton University. They immediately moved to Philadelphia where Peter had just resumed his sales engineering career with General Electric Co. that had been interrupted by a 3 1/2 year military stint. Peter's upward moving management assignments in GE took them to various locations throughout the US for the next twenty five years. Ann was an enthusiastic and supportive "corporate wife" devoting much time and effort to client entertaining and hosting extensive customer related events domestically and abroad. Except for a three year period when she taught school, Ann was a full time homemaker, active volunteer and an involved mother during Peter's career with GE. The role she most proudly relished was that of mother to Jetta Ann (born Oct. 4, 1963 in Miami, FL and Peter Kent (born Oct. 15, 1968 in Hartford, CT). Ann and Peter always shared a side interest in real estate and began land acquisition early in their marriage continuing throughout. This interest evolved into the formation of Balamor Development Co. (in the early 1990's). Balamor specializes in the building of residential communities and all of the Hawryluk's are involved in its operation directly or indirectly. When Kent (the youngest child) went away to college in 1986, Peter founded InterTech Resources, a power semi-conductor distributorship, and named Ann President. Ann has remained in that role since. She accepts no claim to technical knowledge, but was well grounded in general business principles having learned much from her mother's tutelage and experience in that area. Peter has always remained the real muscle in the technical end of the business and is the constant and supportive consultant in that regard. Peter and Ann are the very proud grandparents of their daughter's children, Kinsley Tait Bushonville, born August 22, 1994 and Hadley Remaee Bushonville born April 19, 1999, both in Chicago, IL. | Moore, Ann Lois (I478)

| 268 | Info from Virginia Kohl Marshall: "My father [James Floyd Lammon] left home at 15 yrs of age and did not finish high school. He married my mother, Virginia, at 19 years of age. 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)

| 279 | 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).

| 280 | 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.

| 288 | Marriage Notes: Info from Elmer Burns Lammon General Notes: Note from wife, Catherine: Born and raised in upstate New York, Jim was very talented in music. He excelled in his high school band, winning numerous awards playing the baritone horn. He could also play the trumpet and bass fiddle. He graduated from Mohawk High School in Mohawk, NY. He had always wanted to fly airplanes and, immediately upon graduation, he joined the Air Force. This was during World War II. He was assigned to Keesler Field in Biloxi, Mississippi, then on to Gunter Field, Montgomery, Alabama. While at Gunter, he played in the Air Force band and also a small band for squadron dances. Jim was introduced to Catherine at a local skating rink by her girl friend, Cornelia Harper. Soon after they became engaged, Jim was transferred to Amarillo, Texas. They were engaged 10 months. The war ended and Jim was one of the first discharged. He came back to Alabama and married Catherine. They married at her parents' home with close friends and family attending on November 2, 1945. Two days after the wedding, they left to live in Ilion, NY, where his parents, brother and sister lived. Jim went to work for the US Postal Service as a rural mail carrier. He filled in for Mr. Pett who had broken his back in an accident. When Mr. Pett came back to work, Jim and Catherine moved to Montgomery. Jim's grandfather Haponski was a master craftsman in woodworking. Jim was good with his hands and decided to go to school to learn this craft. He worked for Weil's Antique Shop for several years. A Mr. Jones took Jim under his arm and taught him so much. Mr. Jones had been at the trade many years and was a true craftsman. Jim loved this work and after several years of apprenticeship he went to work for himself. He started to work out of his garage apartment next to his in-laws. (Catherine's parents built this garage apartment.) Later, Jim worked in the basement of his home and then to a rental building when business became better. He became a master craftsman and could copy any antique or build any design that interior decorators presented. He was soon in great demand and acquired his own buildings for his work. He became a father in 1948 when Mike was born. He adored his son and they enjoyed a close personal relationship. Jim was an avid sportsman and he and Mike enjoyed fishing and hunting together. When Mike returned from college at Auburn University, he entered the business with his dad. This pleased Jim and also kept them close. Jim was a wonderful person – always thinking of others first. He was a great father and a wonderful husband. He and Catherine celebrated 43 years of marriage. He died three days after celebrating their 43rd wedding anniversary. Jim could ski well and was an excellent ice skater. He had many hobbies but his first love was flying. He belonged to the Aero Club and flew the club airplane frequently. He loved to fish and went on many trips with family and friends to fish. Jim loved to hunt and hunted all over the US and Mexico. Once he went on a six-week safari in Africa - something he had always dreamed of doing. He dreamed of going back and taking Mike with him. Jim was also a great photographer. He took courses at Auburn University at Montgomery and was good at it. He was the family photographer at every event. Jim died of a massive heart attack November 5, 1989. | Haponski, James Albert (I956)

One of the last conversations I had with my dad was one in which he talked of having lived during the most fascinating time in history.

I have lived a wonderful, happy life." | Johnson, William Edward (I535)

| 297 | Note from granddaughter, Sharon Lammon Tracy: You ask me about my grandfather. He did help build the Golden Gate Bridge, daddy also work on the bridge. I wish we had pictures of this happening. I'm not able to tell a whole lot about Big Daddy because I never knew him. But my mother says he was wonderful to her. He would let her take iodine and draw pictures on top of his head - he was bald. As a child I thought this was so funny and would picture my mother doing this. She was only 16, and a little thing. | Lammon, Freddie Franklin (I177)

| 300 | Note from Rex Everage, brother-in-law: "Charles would be surprised to learn that he influenced my life positively. In Baton Rouge, whenever he was away at work, I'd go into his study and look at his books. Charles had a good mind and selected fine literature. I was too young to understand some of his books, but I remembered them and read many of them later. Only last year did I get around to reading Dostoyevsky's The Idiot, a great book, but difficult for me even now. In my mind's eye, I can still see it on the shelf in that study, a big, grey, Modern Library Giant with the title stamped on the spine within a dark green rectangle. And it was during the Baton Rouge visit that I first heard the great Klemperer rendition of Beethoven's 9th Symphony. Becky loved Mozart best, and Charles could listen to Tschaikovsky all day long, but he did have this recording, which remains one of the great versions of that symphony despite all the others that have appeared in the succeeding decades. I've sometimes wondered whether Charles's love of Tschaikovsky is a clue to his character. The music of that great Russian is often extraordinarily lovely, sometimes very powerful, but marked by a profound and even hopeless melancholy. I think that Charles was always a very unhappy man, ever agitated by the riddle of human purpose but unable to accept any of the religious or philosophical or scientific solutions. And you know how important a sense of ultimate purpose is to the stability of a thinking man. By the way, I still have that recording, the Klemperer Beethoven's 9th. The day I left Baton Rouge, Charles gave it to me, in exchange for another recording that I had and which he would pick up on their next visit to Andalusia. That unexpected act of generosity and even mutual regard must reveal something of his complex character. Charles dabbled in painting. He had considerable talent for an amateur. I recall a small painting he did of a courtyard in New Orleans, and one of his grandmother that he was rather proud of. It depicted her sunk into a large chair with light from a window falling full upon her, the shadows of the sash forming a cross over her and thus symbolizing her deep spirituality. I suppose that Larry has those paintings, and perhaps some others. The man was brilliant. If he had had greater self-discipline and a sense of purpose, what might he not have accomplished!" Rex Everage | Johnson, Charles Finney (I540)
