Oliver Duglas Johnson and Wilma J. Johnson are not born yet.
Fact: Lee Dona "Mollie" Hooe Johnson died while having an appendix operation.
Boyd and Oliver Johnson both died at an early age in Newcastle, OK. Both are buried at the Blanchard Cemetery with their mother Mollie.
After Mollie died Homer Oliver Johnson married a young lady named Rose Duke. This marriage ended in annulment after a short time. Dad had to sell a fine team of mules plus a sow and her shorts to get out of this marriage.
Mom told me Rose was very young and not ready for marriage. I think she was around 15 years old at the time of the marriage.
Homer's father and mother John C. and Minerva Kathrine "Thompson" Johnson are both buried in the Old Blanchard Cemetery.
Donald and Wilma Johnson both moved to the Los Angles, California area.
Wilma moved with Uncle Marvin because she lived with Uncle Marvin and Aunt Juanita after "Mollie" her mother died. The family lived in Pixley, California and worked the cotton fields around Pixley. Wilma wanted to return to Oklahoma and finish her schooling but times were hard and she worked while Cloyd attended school.
She was married a number of times and conceived no children. Each husband was a very good provider.
Her last marriage was to Vincent Emanuel part owner of Grant Oil and Tool Company (her boss.) Vincent sold out his stock and died a short time later leaving Wilma his estate.
I met and really liked Vincent Emanuel. He was an Engineer and a very good carpenter. He bought and fixed up a number of homes in the Los Angles area during his spare time. He also bought and sold real estate around Los Angles, California. Vincent amassed a sizeable fortune during his lifetime.
Vincent never married until after his mother died. He had no children at the time of his death.
Donald, Vincent and I replaced all the old electric wiring and remodeled the living room in mom and dad's house in Pixley, California. We did this work on a number of weekends one year.
Donald moved to CA and lived with Cloyd and Thelma Johnson while he worked at different jobs.
Donald served in the Army/Air Corps during WW11.
Donald was stationed in England while overseas in WW11.
After his discharge he gained employment with McDonald Douglas Aircraft Co. He worked at this job until shortly before his death.
Donald married one time and this marriage conceived no children.
Donald's wife Julie Ross had one son named Benjamin Charles "Benny" Ross.
The blood line for Mollie Hooe's children, Donald and Wilma Johnson blood line ends at this point.
"Benny" Benjamin Charles Ross stepson of Donald Johnson lives in the Orange County, California area. He's divorced and takes care of his children at this time.
