This continues a series of posts, done in a very efficient (make that speedy fast) manner to share some research on the ancestors. This is NOT intended to be the end all to end all report. It's a work in progress, to show you what I have found, right or wrong. Kind feedback is welcomed via comments.

A full obituary has not been located.
I have not located any Social Security Death Index data.
I have not located any Social Security Death Index data.
She currently has no Find A Grave memorial.
The research when presented this way seems rather straight forward, except:
There is another Annie Johnson living in close proximity, born in 1912, died in 1991 that many researchers have confused with Annie Clifton Johnson died 1993! It took me (with the assistance of an excellent researcher/cousin/genie angel) several days to figure out which Annie was "our" Annie.
I will present the "other" Annie below my signature line in an attempt to keep the two Annies clear and separate.

* Disclaimers, I use Find A Grave, Ancestry dot com, FamilySearch, several newspaper subscriptions, free sites, such as Virginia Chronicles, Virginia Chancery Cases online at the Library of Virginia and more to research my ancestors. I pay for subscriptions, full price.
** My judgements may or may not be correct. Transcriptions may or may not have errors.
*** Links, URL's, for the most part will not be included henceforth on my posts, as so many of them change and then I have to come back and try to re-discover and relink. Frankly folks, I have no desire to spend my limited time here on this side of the sod with those kinds of do overs. As researchers, or just members of the internet community, sites such as Find A Grave are easy to find, some are free to use and with the information I am sharing with you, hopefully, you can duplicate the research/findings. That said, I have seen memorials at Find A Grave be removed. If you have questions, I suggest you leave a nice comment for me. OR find the method I have outlined on my blog for contacting me.
