Old Metcalfe County Photos

Atlas Johnson Family

Contributed by Linda Paulus

The inscription on the back of the photo is as follows: "Made in 1916. Atlas Johnson Home. Atlas Johnson standing by his mother-in-law Mrs. Miller. Sonia Miller is Atlas Johnson's wife. The little black-haired boy is Marvin Johnson, Atlas's son." Look closely at the photo; I scanned this at a high resolution to read the sign on the house; it reads J.F. Miller Jan 10, A.D. 1916. Which makes me wonder why the name Miller is on the house, unless this is a boarding house where Atlas Johnson lived? And the woman on the far left is standing on a block with the word "Links" on it. For anyone researching the Johnson family, Atlas was the son of Bob and Ellen Johnson.

Close ups of these people are shown below. I welcome comments about this photo. Linda Paulus [linda.paulus@gmail.com]
