I am looking to make a connection to someone who is related to Melvin R. Johnson who knows more about his life history.  I am Bonnie L. (Johnson, Moore) Radek daugher and have exhausted all internet data bases looking for information. Melvin R. Johnson was the son of Harry Johnson and Amy Klingberg.  Melvin was reported to have been born in Batavia Illinois in 1914 and died at Holy Cross Hospital in Chicago Illinois on 1/31/1944.  Melvin R. Johnson is buried in Evergreen Cemetery.

Melvin R. Johnson is my Grandfather and I would like to know more about him.

 

Thank you,

There is a Melvin Johnson, son of Harry and Amy, with a sister Marjorie in the census data, (along with the death cert. listing parent which you seem to have already found).  Not sure if this is much help.
