Hi Sue, Thanks for the information. Do you know if the Johnson's were still living when your aunt and uncle purchased the store? It might give me a starting point to search for obituaries.

Linda I'm not sure but my Uncle still lives in Lake Linden and I'm sure he would know I'll call him and see what I can find out.

Linda, I spoke to my Uncle Bob Makolin last night. He said he and my aunt purchased the clothing store in Laurium in 1970 from a Lillian Johnson, wife of Henry (deceased). Lillian was quite elderly then. The Johnsons had 2 children a son Carl and a daughter Verna. Other than those facts he knew nothing else about the family. ----- Original Message ----- From: Linda Thiessen <thiessen.linda@mcleodusa.net> To: <MIHOUGHT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 12:23 AM Subject: Re: [MIHOUGHT] Henry Johnson, Lillian, Verna > Hi Sue, > Thanks for the information.
