July 31, 1951.
Born in Sunrise, MT 09-18-1903 / Died: 4-26-41 in Columbia Heights. MN.
Irene Johnson was a Finlander. I find this 'Finlander' news distressing, BUT it could explain a lot. She died as Irene Lark employed as a hotel cook. I am told she was a FANTASTIC COOK! At the time of her death Irene was married to her fourth husband, Evald E. Lark from Lake Lake City, Minnesota. |

The latest reports of Irene's maiden name as 'Johnson' and a discouraging report that she was not only a Johnson BUT a Finlander - have collapsed any hope of a significant document dig for family heritage and I absolutely refuse to open the Big Book of...Johnson's!
..more to come of course...(still digging mind you)...
