Headstone.:IT]

The first year [BO:Jim:BO] and [BO:Jessie (Miller) Johnson:BO] (Daddy

& Mama) were married, they lived with her parents, [BO:Will & Haley

(Atwood) Miller:BO], at Craddock, Tx. It was here that thier first

child was born. Tragically, their joy was short-lived when [BO:Joyce

Elena :BO](1932) died only four days old. The couple then moved to

West Post Oak where [BO:Roberta:BO] (1933) was born. Not long before

Roberta was born, Daddy and Granddaddy had a falling out over

partenership issues. Granddaddy wanted to bring his son, [BO:Uncle

Eugene,:BO] into their share-cropping venture. Daddy felt this was

unfair, considering the amount of money and the long hours of

back-breaking labor they had already invested. Daddy came home angry

and told Mama to pack her things and go home to her folks (they lived

a ways down the road). Grandma came to help Mama carry her things, but

by the time she arrived, Daddy had cooled off and made up with Mama,

Grandma, who was a little afraid of the dark, had to walk home alone

in the dusk.

The little family moved to Paris, where their next five children were

born. It was here they lost two more babies, both sons; [BO:Jesse

Everet:BO] (1938) and [BO:Marcus Aquila :BO] (1943). Also, born in

Paris, were [BO:James Allen Jr.:BO] (1935), [BO:Vida:BO] (1938), and

[BO:Leo:BO] (1940). Daddy ran a small neighborhood store on their

front porch and also had Johnson's Rolling Cafe.

In the middle of the school year in 1942, they moved to a farm in

Powderly. [BO:Sarah:BO] (1944) and [BO:Ruth:BO] (1945) were born here.

Finally, on July 10, 1944, they bought a farm at Woodland in Red

River Co. It was 249.17 acres (in the Issac Moore Survey) of wooded

land, rich in natural resources, such as blackberries, huckleberries,

hickory nuts, black walnuts, quinces, persimmons, and muskydines. As

the name suggests, there were massive wooded areas, graced by rolling

hills and irrigated by it's own creekbeds and pools, as well as a

natural spring. This is the place called home. [BO:Vena:BO] (myself,

1947) and [BO:Lillie:BO] (1949) were born here.

The older children enrolled in the one room school at Woodland,

located on a dirt road near Trent Edwards' place. There were only

fifteen or twenty students enrolled here. In 1948, the school

consolidated with Detroit, twelve miles south. Our school bus made

stops at Adelou, Manchester, Woodland, and various points along the

way. Our driver, Mr. Wriggly, was a quiet man and had considerable

trouble controlling rambuncous students.

Daddy seemed more comfortable working for other people, perhaps it

was because of the hard times he and Mama had both been through;

living through two World Wars and the depression, suffering failed

crops and indebtedness. Hard times were not new to Daddy. When he was

fifteen, his father, [BO:Eddie Peterson Johnson:BO] who had been

hospitalized in Terrell, died there (1918). Grandma, [BO:Sarah

Catherine "Kate":BO] was a strong woman determined to hold her family

together. It was necessary for everyone to work together to plow the

fields, plant the crops, tend the animals, churn the butter, do the

cooking, cleaning, sewing, canning, and countless other chores

necessary to their day-to-day existance. Since Daddy was the oldest of

the children still at home, the heaviest burden of responsibility fell

on his shoulders.

Anyway, we spent our summers and weekends picking cucumbers, chopping

cotton and pulling bolls. We picked cucumbers on the halves for our

neighbors at Manchester, Kanawha, Kiomatia, and Novice. After a long

exausting day in the hot sun (usually, about ten hours), it was time

to take the cucumbers to market where they were sized and weighed and

priced accordingly. There was a cucumber shed at Manchester and at

Kanawha. Daddy didn't have his own transportation, so the owner of the

field would pick us up and take us home. Sometimes, we would all go to

the shed and Daddy would buy us a coke and candy bar. Or, once in

awhile, if it was a particularilly good yeild, the owner would treat

us. Besides all of this, James and Leo bailed hay (I think for a

penney a bail, which was considered good money back then).

After the older kids left home, we mostly spent our summers chopping

cotton for Uncle Everet at Enloe, and sometimes for Uncle Clayton at

Pecan Gap. In the fall, we picked cotton and pulled bolls on the

weekends. A couple of summers, Daddy, James and Vida all worked at

Artic's Ice Cream Factory in Dallas. Usually, in the fall, as far back

as I can remember, Daddy would hitch-hike to West Texas to work in the

cotton gins. One evening, when I was very young, I think about three

or four, Daddy returned home after what seemed like a long time to me.

I remember asking Mama "Who's that man?" Not too happy with me, she

replied, "That's your Daddy."

Mama and Daddy never let work interfere with our schooling. They both

had to quit school at an early age to help support their families.

Mama finished the fifth grade and Daddy finished the third. They could

both read and write and do simple math (considering their education,

they both did quite well). This made them determined to see to it that

we all got educated. Daddy lived to see all eight of us graduate from

high school (Lillie was a junior when Mama died in 1966) and Roberta

finished two years at Paris Junior College, and James graduated at

East Texas State College at Commerce in 1958 with a BBA degree.

In 1960, Mama and Daddy started having marital problems. Leo had just

graduated from high school, he and Mama moved to Paris, where they

stayed with Grandma Miller on W. Cherry St. for a while. Mama hired a

lawyer and got custody of the four girls still at home. In the

meantime, we spent the summer with Daddy at Woodland. James was in the

Army and had left his Studebaker with us. Sometimes, Daddy would let

Sarah drive it on the property, and once in awhile, he would allow her

to drive to Woodland, of course the rest of us tagged along for the

adventure. Mama and Daddy never divorced. Mama never held any hard

feelings toward Daddy and wouldn't allow us to either. She believed

his crankiness resulted from a blow to the head he recieved many years

earlier while trying to prevent a robery. Even though they seperated,

they never gave up on their marriage. Sometimes, Mama, Leo and us

girls would spend the weekend with Daddy, or if he had business in

Paris, he would come by the house for lunch. When Daddy had his heart

attack, he recieved social security disability and made sure Mama got

a check on the dependant children still at home.

James still has fond memories of growing up in a candy store which

was on the front porch of the family's home at the intersection of

13th N. W. & Garrett St., next door to the Negro school. The biggest

thing in young James' life was when the drummers came by selling their

wares. They called him "the little business man". James still

remembers Mr. Adcott, the real estate broker, who came by quite often,

and Mr. Matlock and his son who came by once a month selling razor

blades, needles and pencils.

James enrolled in Graham Elementary School in the fall of 1942, and

at mid-semister, the family moved to a farm between Powderly and

Arthur City, he transferred to Powderly School. The following year, on

the first day of school, he witnessed his classmate, Carl Glassco,

accidentally kill the school principal.

James wrote: "I remember Mom speaking often of her Grandpa Atwood,

with whom she and her parents lived during their early years.

G-Grandpa Atwood was evidently a little lame or very much used up, and

babysat with her and did chores near the house while the Millers did

the farming. Mom kept up with her Grandpa's hatchet until she died.

She said he split wood with it daily. I have the tool now, and every

time I run accross it, I think of an old man I never met who was

gentle with children and also pets, and animals injured by falling

trees and slicing plows. Mom said he could never leave an injured

animal to die. Someday, I hope Stephens will take the hatchet and tell

his children how this man pulled his weight into his golden years."

Leo remembers Daddy buying kerosene in 55 gallon drums and selling

smaller amounts to friends and neighbors, for their convenience. He

thinks, perhaps this is how Daddy started the store.

As a young boy, Leo sometimes had a problem with sleep walking. One

night, while they were living at Powderly, Leo ate a late supper, then

lay down in a living room chair and fell asleep. He had to reach high

to lift the front door latch, but he managed it. He left the house and

crossed the ditch and followed the trail to the orchid where he lay

down and dreamed he was in the store talking to the customers. At this

point, Mama realized Leo was missing and began calling out to him. Leo

told his audience "I have to go now."

Vida said the family lived at the Price place at Powderly and Daddy

took care of it. Once when Vida and Roberta were cleaning the house,

Vida placed a rag doll in the window so it wouldn't get dirty. That

night, Roberta was going to bed, and was startled by something in the

window. She let out a piercing screem. Vida came running. Upon

entering the room, she immediately remembered leaving the doll in the

window and went to pick it up.

Another time at Powderly, Vida remembers they had a cat that had

hydrophobia, Mama instructed the children to stay away from it. She

said it would die in about nine days. One day, Vida was laying accross

the bed with nothing much to do. She started meowing like a cat. Mama,

scared the cat had gotten in the house, came running. Vida got a

spanking.

Ruth recalls once when she was four or five, she and some of her

sisters were playing with the empty spice cans out in the yard. When

they finished playing, they left the cans filled with dirt sitting on

the kitchen table. As it happened, Roberta was making a cake. Un-aware

that the spices on the table weren't the genuine article, she

generously seasoned her cake. Imagine her shock when the first bite

revealed the truth!

Another story Ruth tells on herself is the time she got lost. "When

Sarah and I were quite small, Mama and Daddy took us to the field with

them. Sarah was chewing her gum and I was wishing I had mine. But I

left it parked on the door post, so I told Sarah I was going home to

get my bubble gum. I got lost and they found me at dusk playing in a

sand pile.Things haven't changed. I still don't have any sense of

direction. One evening in Caracas, I was in a hurry to get home before

Raymond's next meeting. I got on the right bus, but headed the wrong

direction. Needless to say, I didn't get home in time to see Ray

before he left."

I (Vena) was born the day before Grandma Miller's birthday, and I was

named after her. When I was very young, pre-school, I made the mistake

of saying I was one day older than Grandma. Neither she or anyone else

ever let me forget it. Many years later, when she was on her deathbed,

Grandma was be-moaning her many ailments. Then she turned to me and

chuckled and said " Oh well, I guess I shouldn't complain. You're one

day older than I am."

It seems that one of our favorite pass-times was cooking up gourmet

delights (ha-ha). Once at Woodland, Ruth was making choclate fudge.

M-M-M! our favorite! However, this time, Ruth couldn't believe it was

done. Lillie, Sarah and I kept insisting it was done. At long last,

when it was scorched beyond recognition, she finally agreed with us.

Much to her dismay, even the dog turned up his nose and walked away.

Years later, at Paris, when I was in high school, I was cooking

dinner as part of my Homemaking project. Mama often bought powdered

milk in a box, somewhat the size of Calgon water softener. I was busy

planning the meal, gathering the ingredients, etc., and of course,

having some meaningful discourse with my sisters. I reached into the

pantry and measured out the water softener by mistake, realizing what

I had done, I scooped out the water softener, from my cornbread, as

best I could. Sarah exclaimed, "Oh, no! We'll all be blowing bubbles."

In case you're wondering, that was some tough cornbread.

One time, when we were still living at Woodland, Sarah decided to

make a cake. I don't know if all of the grown-ups were gone, or if it

was just against our nature to ask for help when we were in over our

heads. Anyway, Sarah couldn't remember how much sugar Roberta put in

her cakes. Ruth came to the rescue! She was sure it was three cups. As

Sarah stirred in the sugar, Ruth decided that wasn't enough. Roberta

uses six cups. Once again, as Sarah finishes stirring in the sugar,

Ruth suddenly knows that is definitely not right. Roberta uses nine

cups of sugar! That's the amount Roberta uses. She's absolutely sure

of it! In case you've never made a cake like this one, it didn't look

very good--- it was flat like a pancake and cracked all through--- but

it was simply delicous!! We tried to duplicate the recipe, but

somehow, we never could. We called it Ooey-Gooey.

Having a large family, we slept two or three to a bed. When relatives

came to visit, we made pallets on the floor for the kids and let the

adults have the beds. It was always a special treat for us when

company came. Once, when Lillie was very small, she slept with Vida on

this particular night, she awoke in the morning all turned around. Her

feet were where her head should be and her head was at the foot of the

bed. The covers were all tangled. As she felt around, still

half-asleep, she exclaimed, "I can't find my head!"
