This is the FL death record Name: Haven D Johnson Death Date: 24 Jan 1996 County of Death: Hernando State of Death: Florida Age at Death: 74 Race: White Gender: Unknown Birth Date: 30 Mar 1921 Go to http://home.att.net/~wee-monster/deathrecords.html and check the obituaries in the tampa tribune. His obituary may be there. Good luck.

I am new to this list and I am hoping someone can do a look up for me. I am trying to locate an obituary and burial location of my father in law, HAVEN JOHNSON. He died January 24,1996 in Brooksville in Hernando County, Florida. His date of birth was March 30, 1921. I believe he was born in Indiana. We lost contact with him years ago when he moved to Florida from Indiana. Hernando County has a very nice on line search site, but I was unable to find his death registered. Thank you in advance for any assistance. I have watched several of these lists, and I know that listers can find almost anything. Jo Johnson _JoJohn714@aol.com_ (mailto:JoJohn714@aol.com)

Irene's eyes are coming along fine. The Dr removed two more stiches out of one eye and three out of the other. He said her vision is improving. The corena is looking good also. Had to change her drops because the steroids he was using was too stron and it was making the pressure in one eye too high. Got to go back next Friday to check about the pressure. It was 31 and should be below 20. The reunion went great, had about 75 children and all there. It was held at the old homestead Roberts place which has been in the Roberts family now over 100 years. It is supposed to be there again next year. It isn't but 392 miles up to Chipley, Florida. Quite a drive for me but I made it if I am a little bushed. Take care RBR

Hi! The following is posted with the kind permission of our List Administrator: I received the following plea for aid. These people seem to do a good job and need help to continue. Old computers, memory, camera memory or if you are so inclined a small donation. This is a 501 3c organization, so any donations are tax deductible. Every little bit of help is deeply appreciated.
