Unknown Boy
Unknown boy; the only name on it looks to be Willie or Willis. Found in the photos of Juanita Swann. Possibly one of the Johnsons, some of whom lived in Bradley Co. and some in Calhoun Co.
UPDATE - Can anyone verify?
"This unknown boy might be Willis Johnson. Willis was the son of Jack Johnson, a farmer in Ingalls, Bradley County, Arkansas.
He was one of eight [ten] children and was the approximate age of my parents who were born in 1910. He died 15 to 20 years ago in Crosset, Arkansas.
He had two [four] sisters, [Ouida Bell], Eunice and Ethel Ruth and five brothers, Vester, Morris, Carter, J. C. and Craven. They are all deceased.
Morris Johnson's widow, Maxie, is in her 90's and lives in an assisted living facility in Warren, Arkansas." ~William Walker
