Period funeral services for Confederate Brigadier General Joseph Burton Johnson will be held on the weekend of October 26 & 27, 2001, in Fairfield, Texas. Hosts for the event are the Johnson-Sayers-Nettles Camp #1012, Sons of Confederate Veterans and Company A, 12th Texas Infantry Regt. On Friday the 26th at noon, the General's remains will be placed in state at the Moody-Bradley House in Fairfield. The house is a period home built in 1860, and was visited by the General on many occasions during his lifetime. The General will lie in state under 24 hour honor guard until the funeral services begin at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 27th. Prior to the funeral (during this state time) visitors may enter the home and pay their respects to the General and his descendants, many of whom will be attending. Funeral services are to begin at 10:00 a.m. with eulogies to be spoken at the Moody-Bradley Home by members of the Clergy, the Masons, the Texas State Grange, the family, and the hosts. At approximately 10:45, a period procession will form at the Home, and proceed 1.3 miles through the City of Fairfield, directly to the Fairfield City Cemetery. Those wishing to participate in the procession should be physically capable of the 1.3 mile march, and be dressed in period attire. Black mourning for ladies, and period civilian or military attire for men. Those wishing to avoid the procession will be allowed to drive from the home to the cemetery, park, and position themselves within the cemetery in plenty of time to view the procession as it enters the cemetery. At the cemetery, a short masonic ritual will be performed, as well as ceremonies by the clergy, followed by a military tribute, to include a 21 gun salute by full scale period artillery, and volleys of musketry from the expected 600 or so troops. The General's Great Granddaughter will be presented with the silk flags covering the General's casket and all present will be allowed to offer personal tributes at the close of ceremonies. We estimate a time frame of approximately 2-1/2 hours from beginning to completion. There are presently plans "in the works" to include our service with the sesquicentennial celebration for Freestone County, which will add a myriad of other attractions to that same date. These attractions will in no way have bearing nor control on our ceremony as we are to be the focal point of the weekend. For those who wish to arrive on Friday evening, there are numerous motels within a 30 minute drive of Fairfield, including, Teague, Mexia, and Buffalo. FYI, Fairfield is located at the intersection of US Hwy 84 and I-45 about half way between Houston and Dallas. The entire City is currently undergoing a face lift for the occasion and promises to exhibit it's prettiest face for the event. The City of Fairfield, and Freestone County are giving their unanimous support to the event, and it will without doubt, be an event worthy of relating to your own descendants. Massive press coverage is expected and promised from print, radio, and television.
