In 1933, there was a Johnson reunion in "Mountain Park". I'm sure that this was in Hamilton, but I'm not sure where that park was. This was the first of at least 5 annual reunions, all on the holiday Monday in August. I have transcribed all the clippings I have found so far. They probably came from the Hamilton Spectator, but they came to me as photocopies of well-worn clippings. I have formatted the text in the same fashion as the original, including hyphens where the original text had them at line breaks. Where the clipping was cut too close to the text and has been worn away, I have inserted the letters that I think belong there inside square brackets. Any misspellings are in the originals. Read the clippings

A panoramic picture containing 230 family members was taken. This file of who's who in the picture is provided to match the names to the known persons in the picture and to give family relationships as well. This file of who knew who in the picture will tell you who has contributed identifications. You should at least print out the "who's who" file and keep it handy while looking at the picture.

Of course, I would like to fill in the 'unknowns'. If you recognize anyone in the picture, please e-mail me. If you are related to anyone in the picture, you are probably my cousin.

While preparing the map of people for identification, I accidentally skipped numbers 66 and 92. This pair of people is 65 and 67: and here, the baby is 91 and the man to the right is 93: . While preparing the web page, I discovered a baby being held by the woman numbered 70, so I designated the baby number 70a. This means that while the last person is numbered 231, there are only 230 persons in the picture. Row 1, the front row, goes from 1 to 39, left to right. Row 2 is from 40 to 99. Row 3 from 100 to 154, row 4 from 155 (the man) to 203. And row 5 from 204 to 231.

Hovering your mouse over a person will pop up the name of that person (where known). If you click on the picture, a more detailed picture of a small group will appear in a new window. The first time you do that, the window will appear on top. When you return to the original window (this one) without closing the first, when you click again, the next picture will appear in the same extra window, but it will remain hidden. You can use the browser forward and back buttons to move through the smaller group pictures. These were intended to print nicely in landscape mode (sideways) on standard paper filling the page. Besides the browser's forward and back buttons, I have provided links to go in any direction from these smaller groups to any group nearby.

Does anyone recognize the building? If so, please email me. You can see a pulley for a clothesline hanging from the dead tree. There are also 5 rather low-hanging wires coming in from the left of the picture. Right up at the peak of the house, just under the eave there are 3 insulators for electricity. When I enlarge this picture, just to the right of the living tree and above the people's heads are 2 more insulators. Apparently coming from those insulators are 2 wires that lead back to the left of the picture. Near the corner of the house is a spacer to keep them from touching and hanging from the wires is a light bulb (right on the corner of the building). On the trim board just under the eave at the corner can be seen one insulator on each side with a wire going around the corner. I would suspect this to be the telephone wire. Just to the left of the living tree there is a window and a pane of glass appears to be missing from it because the curtain is blowing out. I think the house had been occupied and maybe still was at that time.

These four files are sized about right to print landscape on regular paper. The result will be the entire picture with some overlaps.
