Tombstone Tuesday - 22 June 2010 - Louis Johnson

Evergreen Cemetery, Oconto, Oconto, Wisconsin; May 2006



Louis Christian Johnson, b: 23 May 1888; d: 26 June 1894 (116 years ago this week),
son of John Johnson (AKA Hans Hansen) and Mary S. Jensen Johnson (my great-grandparents)
Had Louis lived, he would have been my mother's uncle. His death was the third in a three-year streak of losses for my great-grandmother, who lost her husband and another son in the 2 previous years, causing her to be very bitter throughout her life, something she allegedly regretted on her death bed.

Wordless Wednesday - 28 April 2010 - How Jensen & Johson connected to Hansen & Hansen

The Hansen family business, Racine, Wisconsin.
Bothilda Marie Hansen married Carl William Johnson, whose father was John Johnson, AKA Hans Hansen, and the junction of the 2 families really made it Hansen & Hansen (M.C. stands for Mads Christian Hansen).
Mary S. Jensen Johnson was the mother of Carl William Johnson, of Kenosha, Wisconsin.
