Plattsmouth Journal, Thursday, January 16, 1919 SEARCHING FOR HIS MOTHER AND BROTHER HERE [front page] HALF BROTHER OF JOHN JOHNSON WHO DISAPPEARS SOME TIME SINCE LOOKS FOR HIM From Tuesday�s daily I.M. BRILEY, of Gravilburg, Saskatchewan, Canada, has been in the city for the past few days, stopping here for a short time, on a trip from his home to Vancouver, where he has thought to stay for some time. Mr. Briley, who is a half brother of John JOHNSON, who had disappear[ed] from here some few years ago, and whose body was found at Nebraska City, later, had worked here for about a month in the Burlington shops in 1896. He had not heard anything from his brother or mother since leaving here, and had come here to find out what he could, regarding them and to visit with both. When he arrived here, he could not find anything of their whereabouts, but after [looks like] cordial inquiry, it developed that it was John Johnson and his mother that he was looking for and that they were both dead. Mr. Briley will remain here for a few days and will see what he can do to find out about the estate which was left. There were five nephews by the name of TAGUE, who were here and lived also at Glenwood, but have gone from here to Omaha or elsewhere. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I have recently come into the possession of a personal genealogy "Henry Cobb Stryker and Amanda Rosetta Walker. I am not related to this family in any way, but would like to contact persons who are. It looks like this family lived in Butler County. Bonnie
