Where was John born? Or at any way where do his sons say he was born? That could help a lot to sort the Johns. The Chicago Voters Reg books might help if you have an address for 1895 that might/maybe/possibly <G> be good in 1892. You might catch him in the city directories with Mamie, and you might catch mention of a death.
