Wilson Feb. 14, 1886 in DeSoto,Jefferson County, MO. Susan is buried at DeSoto City Cemetery. Susan was always known as Aunt Sue, although she was actually a 2nd cousin to my grandfather, Calvin King Johnson. Samuel and Susan did reside on Boyd St. in DeSoto, and I have been told, next door to her brother 'Gus' George Augustus and Rosa (POUCHER) Johnson.Contributed by cousin Sandy Mackley.  [posted prior to Mar. 2005]
