I just know that my grandfather name was Tom Johnson and he was born and raise in Newton, MS. He passed away in 1962 or 63.

One of my cousin told me that we had a cousin by the name of Carl Johnson that lived on Highway 80 in Lawrence, MS and I think he was a barber.

A young man at the time he left the south at a time when people of color had different drinking fountains and washrooms from the white folks. He came to Chicago for work, and work he found in Oak Park. Junior worked in Oak Park for thirty-nine and one half years. When he retired in 1997, he had been a Supervisor of the Oak Parks Public Works Dept. of Streets and Sanitation for over a decade. For decades on end Junior had breakfast before work at Jamie's Restaurant (now called Tyme and Honey) and later he moved to George's Restaurant (on Oak Park Avenue, across the street) when his favorite waitress (Erna Bjork) moved to her new place of employment. The seating order at the restaurant for years was Larry, Sam, Junior, and Tony. Everyone who knew Junior liked him, and had nothing to say but nice things-real nice things. He is survived by "two beautiful daughters" Deborah (Toni) Pitchford of Chicago and Penny Pitchford of Kansas City, Kansas. After ceremonies here in Chicago, it was Juniors wish to be returned to his place of birth for burial. His body will be buried in Tchula, Mississippi, but his friends will remember him in Oak Park. Thank you Junior for all the years of hard work to make Oak Park better and thanks to Oak Park who helped him climb the ladder to success and recognition. Oak Park First African- American Supervisor.

Author: jamesbrunson54 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.ethnic.afam.ms/33.3/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Too Whom It May Concern, Bingaman, as you know, is the mother of Walter Louis Cohen. Cohen is famous for the following reasons: 1)he was the post-Reconstruction black political boss of Louisiana, who survived into the late 1920s (In certain census reports, Captain Cohen identified as white; other times as colored); several Presidents appointed and reappointed him to U. S. positions; and 2) Cohen and his brothers are critical to the formation of black baseball in New Orleans. W. L. Cohen played and managed the Pickwick Base Ball Club (1876-1883); Cohen Base Ball Club (1885-1886); and P.B.S. Pinchbacks (1887-1890. He was the protege of P.B.S. pinchback, the first black governor of Louisiana. I've written a base ball article on him, if you wish to have it. An email address woould be needed.
