In his youth, John was known to be a prankster. As a young man, he was good friends with Reed Porter and the two of them delighted in playing tricks on many, but especially on John's father Erastus, the judge, whom they called out late one night to perform a wedding for a couple of young elopers. Of course, no one showed up and the judge staid outside in he dark and wet all night long. His many letters home were filled with humorous stories.
Johnnie Lee and his wife, Lillian, never got along and lived in separate houses.
