WILFORD & EBBA JOHNSON RESEARCH NOTES

FOLLOWING:  Research notes I have on Wilford and Ebba Johnon and their families.  I am still looking for additional information and would appreciate a contact from anyone who has more information.  I have now added to this blog any information I have on these two people and their families.  I would especially like pictures!

RESEARCH NOTES ON WILFORD AND EBBA JOHNSON: Feb 2010

 Aldon Johnson, son of Allen Johnson (Half Brother of Wilford and Ebba) visited Carolyn.  This is what I learned.  

           Ebba married a Rognan, and two children. 

nFS

One was Clifford Rognan who married Norma and lived in Bountiful.  (I looked up Rognan in the phone book and found one in Salt Lake. William & Gwen Rognan and also a Philip Rognan.  I will try to call him.) 

 Info from Aldon

            The other child was Marguerite Olivia.  (This information came to me 6 weeks after Kanda named her baby Olivia.)  Marguerite contracted TB and went to live with Allen and Rula in Shelley until she died.  She is buried in Fielding Memorial Cemetery in Idaho Falls.  Aldon thinks she was about 25 years old at the time.

Info from Walter Oscar Johnson 3-10 over the phone to Carolyn Christensen.

Myrtle, Marguerite and Clifford were born to Peter M. Johnson (Walter thought it was Larsen, but nFS and Census shows Johnson).  When Ebba married Charles Rognon, the children took his name. 

Myrtle died young, possibly right after High School.  Myrtle, Marguerite, and Ebba all died of TB.
