Elwood O Johnson
Feb. 22, 1900 - Oct. 26, 1988

Ila Naomi Jones Johnson
Feb. 24, 1902 - Dec. 5, 1997


Note: The maiden name for Ila has been found in some sources as "Coffin", including some family trees on Ancestry.com. This was a result of a poorly worded obituary published in 1997 for her, listing her as the daughter of "Harvey Coffin and Estella Wikoff Jones", giving the impression that the last name for Harvey was "Coffin". His full name was actually "Harvey Coffin Jones". It is for that reason that the maiden name "Jones" appears on the inscription for Ila on this joint headstone with her husband Elwood O Johnson.
