Lula Ann Hitch
The compiler remembers visiting this lady who we referred to as "ol' Miss Johnson" in the early 1970's without ever knowing at the time that she was born a Hitch. She was the grandmother of my friend Tommy Johnson. She lived in an old Victorian farmhouse on Milton Mill Road in Wicomico Co., Maryland. The floors in the house were slanted at steep angles due to age and it was gently warmed by an old wood stove. Outside was a tall windmill for pumping water from a well that was still operational and there was an old cemetery in the farm field not far from the house. "Miss Johnson" was a petite woman who walked around with a bonnet on in a slow but deliberate manner due to her advanced age. She had a pronounced hoarseness that you could hear as a steady, low rhythm as she breathed maybe due to emphysema or something of that nature. However, she lived alone and still carried her own firewood into the house even as she reached age 85 and above. Lula married Archibald Lee Johnson, son of John Henry Johnson and Mary Ellen Ruark, about 1905. (Archibald Lee Johnson was born on 21 Apr 1880 in MD, died on 03 Jan 1950 in Salisbury, Wicomico Co., MD and was buried on 06 Jan 1950 in Olivet Christian Cemetery, Worcester Co., MD.) |
