In 1921, Albert married Carrie Lawson and they had a son named Douglas Lawson (1922), but this marriage did not last.

    Notes:

    MYRTLE LEE JOHNSON
    Myrtie was born on August 9, 1902. She was always an immaculate, if tiny, little girl and worked hard around the house after her mother died. She had plenty of energy and spirit and eloped at age 17 to marry John Harris Lane, Jr., on June 5, 1920. He was from a good farming family but was young and not yet established. They worked hard and soon had a farm and store at Moorings, between Surry Court House and KLberon. Their children were Irene (1923) and John Harris III (1926). John Harris, Jr., died in 1941 and Myrtie stayed on at Moorings, later moving to Surry Court House where she bought a house and store. She ran this store for many years and became a familiar friend to many in the town of Surry. We remember an especially happy family reunion at Myrtie's house at Easter in 1956. As sweet as she was, Myrtie's life was a hard one and she was sickly in her later years. She died in Suffolk in March of 1971.

He worked on the farm for a while then moved to Newport News and, at age 21, went to work in the shipyard joiner shop. He was always known for being handy and inventive but an unfortunate accident with a lathe took away some of his fingers and prompted him to change careers. He attended Bliss Electrical School in Washington, D. C. with his savings and later went to work with I.B.M. He traveled around then settled in Jacksonville, Florida, where he wed Edith Lorraine Duncan on October 2, 1936.
