Johnson was Clara’s MARRIED name. In The Pickle Story, she mentions how much
Mr. Johnson loved her pickles. Apparently she either reverted to her maiden
name of Edwards after his death, or married again to a Mr. Edwards. To add to
the confusion, she was also called Bertha (in Andy and Opie, Housekeepers).

While watching the color episode about the Battle of Mayberry, Clara
Edwards shows Opie a sword belonging to her ancestor, Col. Edwards, which
would imply she never married. Now in Mayberry time, several years before
this episode (b/w) when Clara convinced Aunt Bee to give Andy and Helen
more time to be alone, she said something about her son, Gale. That's a
brain teaser, or a fact overlooked or forgotten.
Then there is the brief time she was Clara Johnson. Who's got a bucket to
put on their head to think about that tangled web? Elizabeth in Ga
