Lawrence Lester Johnson(1904-1964) was the son of Millard Ely Johnson (1877-1930) and Katie Florence Lilly (1885-1963). I think LL was born in Corder (or Higginsville), Mo and died in Sedalia. His wife was Opal Wray daughter of Joseph Wray ( ->1956) and Mary Theresa Thouvenel (1875-1956) of Stover, Mo.

LL was my grandmother Edith Frances Johnson-Richardson-Wendt's older brother. Katie was the daughter of William Henry Stump Lilly (of Adams Co, PA & Osage Co, Mo) & Emily Adella/Adelaide Gill of Calloway Co, Mo.

Millard Ely Johnson was the son of John Crawford Johnson (1854-1921) and Mary Nichols (d/o Jonathan Nichols & Vina/Vincy unknown) from Byron, Jefferson Twp, Osage Co, Mo.
