“Did J.P. Johnson run his store out of the Mississippi River? According to his address it sounds like it. My great grandfather had a great fondness of the Mississippi River”. ………Thats funny.If you click on the address in the reading it is hot.It will bring you to a map of where this caper went down.

Surprised to find my grandfather on the Internet. He died four years before I was born.
