I've "rescued" an old photograph of Miss Minnie JOHNSON which was taken at the Riders Studio in Chicago, Illinois. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Minnie likely in her teens or 20's at the time. In addition to her name, someone has written "as pictured" along with some numbers which appear to suggest additional photographs were ordered along with a stamp of the Imperial Portrait Co. on the back of the photograph. I am hoping to locate someone from Minnie's family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to her family. If you are a member of this JOHNSON Family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

I have a death certificate for someone who isn't mine. She was married to Ludwig and died in 1936. If she belongs to you, I would be happy to give it to you. Jackye Sullins Carlsbad, CA
