  Notes	Or Frances. Most trees in Ancestry have him dying 5 Aug 1963 in Fargo, North Dakota. That death, for that named person, is not in the North Dakota Public Death Index. A very close Johnson _is_ listed in the North Dakota Death Index. However, that Johnson is Walter L Johnson, buried in the Memorial Park Cemetery in Grand Forks, North Dakota. That Walter, according to Find A Grave, was born 21 Oct 1911 and died 5 or 6 Aug 1963. The North Dakota Death Index says that he died 6 Aug in Grand Forks County, also his county of residence. Mother’s maiden name Turpin. (Francis’s mother’s mother, Julia Turpin, b. ca 1860 in Minnesota, lived with Francis’s parents, Oscar and Clara Johnsons, in Mahnomen in the 1940 census. Julia’s _original_ maiden name may have been Fogard or Martin.) He was single and living with Oscar and Clara Johnson in Mahnomen, Mahnomen County, in the 1930 census. His mother Clara was born in Minnesota, his father Oscar in Sweden. His mother was Chippewa Indian. (Mahnomen County is entirely within the White Earth Indian Reservation.) In the 1920 census, he was the 8 year-old “daughter”, Francis A Johnson, living with his parents (Oscar E, 41, and Clara M, 35) and siblings (Leslie, Eugene, Eunice, Eloner, Antonett, and James B in Mahnomen in Mahnomen County. (Eunice, b. 7 Aug 1909 in Mahnomen County, had a mother whose maiden name was Tarfin.) Leslie L and Eugene E lived with their mother Clara M, 26 and a widow, in Mahnomen County in the 1910 census. The surname for all three was Varty. (For Leslie and Eugene, at least, it probably should have been Broekert.) In addition, a daughter Eunice A Johnson, age 9 months, also lived with Clara. Clara was of the Chippewa tribe, as was her father and mother, but was considered ? white. The childrens’ fathers were white so the each of the three children were considered 15/16 white.
