    "Sam Ealy Jr. inherited the political bent, put it into practice and then reinforced it for the next generation by marrying Rebeckah Baines. Her ancestors had fought in the French and Indian War and her father, Captain Joseph W. Baines, had been an active politician who served as Texas' secretary of state from 1883 to 1887. Lyndon's father was elect to the Texas legislature in 1904. As a lawmaker he was considered a liberal but is best remembered for sponsoring a bill to prevent the Alamo from being torn down to make way for a filling station.
    "He is also remembered as an engaging, outgoing fellow, beloved by his cronies. A vigorous man with the bottle, he nevertheless won a parochial renown by refusing to touch a drop anywhere outside his home county line. Easy-going by nature, a devoted dabbler in politicies, he was not well-gated to deal with the hard practicalities of life and, at various times, followed various occupations--schoolteacher, dilettante in real estate dealings, road-building supervisor and inspector for the state railroad commission. Sam Ealy Johnson seems to have lacked any real instinct for business, and although he was one of the region's first owners of a Model T Ford, he seldom had much money and was often in debt for small loans."
