| 402 | The following was copied and pasted from https://sammatteson.com/tag/family/ on 29 Dec 2025. (found by Donna Jill "Jill" Lammon (Boozer) Bad Choices Beget Bad Consequences Sam B. Holland found work in Panama City, Florida in a garage associated with an automobile dealership. It was there that he developed an acquaintance with a young man recently released from the notorious Alabama Industrial School for Boys. It was an unfortunate choice of pal for Sam. I have pieced together from contemporary newspaper accounts and other documents the tale of the shocking events that transpired in 1920. Leslie Lammon appears from reports to have been a “hard case.” He had been arrested and incarcerated several times for grand larceny as well as for manslaughter. This freckled faced youth of 19 (in 1920) belied the evil influence he apparently exerted on the older (21-year-old) Holland. These two auto mechanics were fired in mid-May 1920, possibly for some larcenous plan gone awry. Stranded in Panama City, Florida, the pair hatched an impulsive and ill-conceived scheme to steal an automobile and drive home to Dale County, Alabama. A person in his right mind would have seen that such an escapade would not end well. The newspapers tell how the two partners in crime appeared one rainy Sunday evening (possibly inebriated) on the doorstep of Alice Canty’s boarding house east of downtown Panama City in the predominantly black Millville district. Widow Canty was an Afro-American entrepreneur who had recently purchased a fine new vehicle. Perhaps they knew of her through their contact in the car repair and maintenance business where they worked. The boys spun a yarn to the sympathetic matron about being stuck a few mile out of Millville. They asked to “borrow” her new vehicle, a 1920 Sullivan Salient 6 similar to the vintage model in the photograph to retrieve the ladies they had left alone in the fictional auto. 1920 Model Sullivan Salient 6. Photo courtesy of Oldtimers.com. Lammon sat in the front seat beside the victim who drove, while Holland rode in the rear seat with the chaperone who survived. Mrs. Canty declined to loan her vehicle, but her daughter volunteered to chauffeur the white boys back to their vehicle and pull them out of the hole they claimed to be stuck in. Rosa Canty Kirkland was 23 and a professional driver as was her mother Alice, according to the 1920 Census. As a nod to propriety, Mrs. Bessie King, a boarder, volunteered to ride along as chaperone. What we can glean from various published accounts, a few miles north of town, Rosa began to get suspicious and threatened to turn back. At that point Lammon pulled out a pistol and threatened her. Rosa leaped from the seat and ran. Lammon fired at her retreating figure. The bullet grazed Rosa’s skull and she pitched forward. Leslie D. Lammon fell upon her, violently stabbing Mrs. Kirkland’s unconscious body. When Bessie tried to stop him, Lammon cut her as well. Then he turned on her. Bessie later reported according to the Bay County Sheriff that, at that point, Holland intervened, chivalrously putting himself between the injured Bessie and her assailant; thus, Sam sustained wounds also from the hand of Leslie. Apparently Sam was able to calm Lammon enough that the trio with the—now deceased—Mrs. Kirkland’s body in tow climbed back into the car and drove north. At some point Sam persuaded Lammon to try to get Bessie medical attention. Sam had an Uncle Sterling Price Holland living near Dothan who was a physician. Sam is reported to have suggested they head there to seek triage for Bessie, who was bleeding severely. They proceeded north toward Columbia, Alabama, perhaps passing through Greenwood, Florida near where Sam’s father met his end just five years earlier. About halfway to Columbia the vehicle crossed Cowart’s Creek. The two men pulled the corpse from the backseat and tossed it into the creek bed. Failing to find Dr. Holland at home, they left Miss King in the care of some “colored” neighbors and continued north. That family, of course, notified the Sheriff, who soon apprehended Lammon and Holland in Columbia. The pair were indicted and brought to trial in Panama City, Florida, but not before they made a jail break and went on the lam. That escapade lasted only a few hours before the jail birds were re-captured. In November the perpetrators of the “most heinous crime in recent memory” as the newspapers opined were to come to trial. In a last-ditch effort to subvert justice some compatriots of Holland and Lammon set fire to the Bay Count Courthouse. The building was gutted by the arson but the trial was not delayed. Instead the court moved down the street to the theater, where the arguments were heard and the two were convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to life in prison, 19 Nov 1920. The partners in crime rode—manacled—to the Florida State Penitentiary in Raiford, Florida. The prison is legendary for the “chain gangs” that worked the prison farm. After two years, Sam petitioned for a pardon from the Board of Pardon and Parole according to the Tampa Times newspaper. Apparently it was denied since his name was not among those granted release in a follow-up story a few days later. Perhaps it was galling to Sam that in 1925, Leslie D. Lammon was more successful when he was pardoned “because of his youth at the time of the crime.” We deduce, however, that Leslie did not escape prison unscathed. Years later when he registered for the draft, his paralysis was noted. Ultimately he died of a stroke but only after living as a free man with his father and mother, Archie and Lula Lammon, for years. He continued working as an auto mechanic in Montgomery, Alabama it appears. He returned briefly to a life of crime (along with his brother Olin) in the late 1930s, serving a few months for auto thief. Nevertheless, he survived until 1961, when he died in Houston, Texas at the age of 60. | Lammon, Leslie Duncan (I341)

| 403 | The following was copied and pasted from https://www.theledger.com/story/news/1998/11/11/davenport-newswwii-veteran-recalls-attack-on-carrier/64596955007/ Davenport News WWII veteran recalls attack on carrier By RHONDA PARKER News Chief Nov. 10, 1998Updated Jan. 20, 2010, 10:20 a.m. ET DAVENPORT -- Radioman First Class Bill Johnson was among 922 officers, crew and bomber plane squadron members aboard the USS Ommaney Bay escort carrier as it cruised through the Sulu Sea on Jan. 4, 1945. Though commissioned and put to sea just the year before, the Ommaney Bay's crew and plane squadron had already distinguished themselves with a record that included 557 noncombat sorties, 878 combat sorties, the sinking or damaging of three Japanese heavy cruisers, one light cruiser, four destroyers, three battleships and the destruction or damaging of 21 aircraft in the air, and 35 on the ground. Three invasions were supported by the "baby flat-top," as the class of carrier was known, including the key role of providing air strike support for the Palau Islands occupation and turning a threatened defeat at the Leyte beachhead into a victory. The fleet of around 200 carriers, destroyers and battleships was moving near the Phillipines on the way to prepare for the Lingayen Gulf landings when, as Johnson describes it, "the ship shook violently, and there was a tremendous explosion. I was thrown around like a baseball in a railroad car." Johnson, now 83, says he's forgotten a lot of things over the past 53 years, but he still vividly recalls the moment when a Japanese suicide bomber crashed into the ship carrying two bombs. "It knocked the bridge completely off, then fell into the hangar deck ... The whole rear of the ship was on fire," he said. Johnson said that when the attack came at around 4 p.m., he just happened to be in a portion of the ship that suffered little damage. "I had just delivered the weather report to the weatherman's office. That was my job every day. Surviving was a case of where you were on the ship at the time. We knew we'd been hit bad," he said. More explosions rocked the 512-foot, 7,800-ton carrier and smoke boiled up from the decks below the hangar deck, where the kamikaze's second bomb exploded, igniting gassed-up planes and stored torpedo warheads. Johnson said he knew what to do when Capt. H. L. Young gave the order to abandon ship. "We'd had two or three ships hit every day by these kamikazes. This is something you knew was likely to happen," Johnson said. In the weatherman's office, a long rope was kept to ease crewmen's descent from the deck to the water in an emergency. "It was about 35 feet down from the rail to the water. One thing none of us figured was how the rope would cut and burn our hands going down," he said. Once in the water, Johnson said he couldn't see anything but fire and smoke. The salt water stung his cut hands and the screams of the panicked, dying and wounded filled his ears as he attempted to swim away from the burning ship. Johnson could glimpse the far-off destroyer the USS Burns, and while still on deck of the burning carrier he had envisioned himself swimming to the rear of the destroyer, where he knew there was a ladder-type apparatus for climbing up the ship. Johnson also faced a new threat. In addition to the intense heat, oil in the water, ricocheting ammunition and exploding torpedoes that killed two on an assisting destroyer, he found the life vest he'd been given in the weatherman's office was full of leaks. "I had to keep stopping and blowing up the vest," he said. During the 30 minutes to an hour Johnson spent in the water, he thought less about dying, he said, than about his young wife and the baby she'd expected in September but he hadn't yet been given word on. "I had been to sea for three months, and I hadn't been given any mail. I didn't know I had a daughter. I just kept thinking about them," he said. Once safely aboard the Burns, Johnson said the crew had a bucket of oil waiting for them to immerse their sore hands. "The ships were hit so regularly, they were pretty prepared for it." Johnson said survivors were allowed to choose clothing from below-deck reserves, and were given $5. He slept on the floor with his wallet under his head, but during the night someone stole the wallet and his $5. "I knew I was lucky to be alive, so that didn't really bother me. There were three radiomen that I knew that were killed, and one crewman who had to have his arm amputated on the spot from his wounds." In all, 93 men were killed and 65 wounded. The Burns was ordered to sink the Ommaney Bay after a search of the area for survivors. The Ommaney Bay's crew suffered additional casualties when kamikaze planes crashed into rescue ships, including the Burns. Survivors were transferred to another larger ship, then taken to Borneo Bay, where they then boarded the USS Mississippi for San Francisco. "Oh my, the great relief!" he said. "That was the happiest day of my life when I found out we were going back to the states ... The Golden Gate Bridge was the most beautiful site I've ever seen. I went from the deck down the gangplank and kissed the ground when we docked in San Francisco." When asked about his sacrifices for his country, Johnson said, "When I got into the war in 1941, I was a 24-year-old sewing machine salesman from south Alabama. I gave up my job, I didn't get to see my newborn daughter, and I got my hands cut up a little bit when the ship sank. But I did get to come home again. Those men who were lost at sea that day will never get to come home again. There's not a day that has gone by in my life I haven't thought about them. Some of those fellows were friends of mine," he said. Omanney Bay crew members received two battle stars for their distinguished service in WWII. Johnson also received a citation for "excellence of service in the line of his profession in connection with operation of radio equipment and supervision of personnel in enemy waters off the Philippines," Capt. Young wrote of Johnson. "By his energy and devotion to duty he contributed ... to the success of the ship," Young wrote. Johnson was reunited with fellow survivors of the Ommaney Bay in September. He and his daughters, Mary Anne Suggs, who teaches music at Davenport Elementary, and Sharon Felty, a music teacher in Tulsa, were among approximately 125 former crew members and their families who attended the reunion at Mayport Naval Base in Jacksonville, where Johnson was stationed for the remainder of the war. Johnson toured the carrier, the USS Kennedy, and had his photo made with crew members. "It was a big thing. The Ommaney Bay would have fit on the rear deck of the Kennedy," he said. At the reunion Johnson also won the door prize -- a quilt of the fifty states now on his bed at Bishop Gray Inn in Davenport, where he and his wife of 55 years, Majorie, now reside. From Atlanta, the family moved to Auburndale 20 years ago, where Johnson ran a real estate business until he retired several years ago. "I'm glad I made it, and I wouldn't want to go back, but I'm proud I served my country. I'm not afraid of my memories of the war. I put it all behind me and I've had a good life. I think we need to remember the ones who didn't come back and the people who came back disabled from the wars. We need to remember the sacrifices of all veterans," he said. | Johnson, William Edward (I535)
