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).
Paul Mulik >>>> 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?
