Miss Mana Jo Hammond

It is with much sadness that I communicate the recent
passing of Miss Mana Jo Hammond of Burnet, Texas,
Adam Johnson's granddaughter. She was the last living
person who remembered Adam Johnson when he was alive.
I met her when I did my Texas book tour in October,
2005. She was extremely vital, sharp, and full of
life and humor at age 90. She was a sweet, sweet
lady. In many ways the last link to the founding
fathers of central Texas has passed. I remember her
telling me that she used to walk the blind General
Johnson around the square when she was a young girl.
She will be missed and I will never forget her.
