Re: Thomas Alton Johnstone ?

Jim:

Yes; I've got a copy of it in my file. Believe Eric posted it awhile back.

The names jive with those in Thomas Alton Johnston's obit I posted yesterday
as well as with Read Allen's research.

According to Read, the only thing missing is Thomas Alton "Tommy" Johnston
was m/2 Alice Eileen Kieley between Mamie Beatrice "May" McAloney and Bessie
Alma Lyman. The obit mentions 2 of the adopted children Tommy and Alice had,
Thomas Daniel "John" Johnston and Laura Johnston. Read says another daughter
of Tommy and Alice, Janet Ann Johnston is missing.
