Sadie Elizabeth Brannon-Hohenstein
My grandmother, Sadie Elizabeth Brannon, daughter of John Clifton and Mollie Lavenia White Brannon, was adopted and raised by her maternal great-aunt, Sarah “Sadie” Elizabeth Joynes and her husband, August Hohenstein.
Comment from Jacqueline Lee Brannon – “Aunt Sadie was one of the most refined and sophisticated, fun, and lovely ladies I ever knew. John Brannon absolutely adored her. He often stayed at her home in California when he was stationed at 29 Palms while in the Marine Corps.”
