In a taped conversation between Sarah Jane "Candy" (Rider) Johnson and Ralph Johnson in 1984, Candy tells the story about the death of Abe Johnson as she heard it:

"Abe was the first husband of my grandma [Alice Hardee Johnson-Hurley]. He was the High Sheriff of Baldwin County. Piggy [nickname of Joel M. Johnson, Abe's brother] and a colored man got into an argument someplace and the black man shot Piggy and drug him down to the bottom of the branch. The colored man thought he was dead, but he was not. Piggy died with that bullet his head. Grandma [Alice] said that Abe had a stallion horse that he rode. They lived over at the Devil's Backbone. Grandma [Alice] said that she had a feeling that something was going to happen to Abe this day. His horse was raid and cutup that she liked to have never got to him to hand Abe his pistol, but she finally got it to him. She watched him leave and she had a feeling that she would never see him alive again.
Abe came down to here to Bromley and killed that colored man. The colored man ran out by him at this house and shot him, and he shot the colored man. He fell to his knees and died down inside of a tree. Grandma had one boy by Abe and his name was Albert Johnson. He was kind of retarded. After Abe died, Grandma [Alice] married the Hurley and had children by him."
