There are a lot of visitors to the farm on this day in 1936 including two of Henry's sisters, Jen and Kate.
Henry was the youngest of five children (and the only boy) born to James Chandler Johnson and Eleanor Louise Nash. Gladys, Lydia, Jennie (Jen) and Catherine (Kate) were born before Henry and in that order.
Kate and William (Bill) Cosgriff were married around 1900. In 1900, Kate would have been 28. Kate and Bill are buried in Bowne Center. They died in 1953 (Bill) and 1954 (Kate).
My father was given the middle name of William after his Uncle Bill Cosgriff. Richard William Johnson was born on July 7, 1930. Fifty-three years earlier, in 1877, William Cosgriff was born on July 7.
