[spiers.GED]
The first documentation we have on P.L. Johnson is his position as postmaster of Rural Hill, Concuh County, Alabama, (near Burnt Corn, Alabama) 30 June 1851; The second information we find is his marriage to Caroline Elizabeth Pugh Murry in neighboring Monroe County. After the birth of Peter Lazrus and Caroline's first child, George Peter, he resigned his position as postmaster, April 12, 1854, and the family moved to Texas. (Caroline had two children, maybe three, from her first marriage) They arrived in Oct. 1854 and settled near 'Rowe's Tanning Yard' on the Shreaveport-San Augustine Road; they later bought land and the area became known as the Old Center Community. (located in the southeastern end of Panola County) Their other six children were all born and raised in this location. P.L. farmed at intervals and was one of the first school teachers in the community; he organized the neighborhood's first Sunday School in 1855, joined with others in establishing the Independence Baptist Church in 1856 in the Woods Community, and served as it's secretary. P.L. made Master Mason in 1858 and Royal Arch Mason in 1861; He served as county commissioner for two years and two terms as Justice of Peace. P.L. assisted in organizing the Buena Vista and Shelby County Associations (Baptist) and was Moderator for several years. He served two years as Lieutenant in the Seventh Regiment of the Texas Calvary in the War between the States, captured at Camp Pratt, interred at Rampart St. Prison in New Orleans, La.., before being honorbly discharged in 1863. "He was ------ a good citizen and was generally found working shoulder to shoulder with the best element of society on all moral and political questions that had for their purpose the lifting of mankind upon a higher plane and the betterment of government and society." as stated in his obituary in the Panola Watchman, (neswpaper) November 30, 1904. Peter and Caroline are buried in Old Center Cemetery. by: Rosa Lee Hancock Edge
