Note: J. T. must have inherited his musical talent from his daddy. He used to sing all the time. Old friends of his came by the store one day and told Frank that when they were young, they used to go to all the juke joints in Sumter County with J.T.
to hear him sing.Every Time I hear "Ragmop", I think of J.T. because he used to sing it to me whenever we went to Grandmomma's to visit.
J. T. died of Luekemia in 1957.
Obit: Dec. 3, 1957
