- NOTE 1./ e-mail from Donna Fratesi 5-29-03
I went through some old clippings and came across a letter that had been in
Wilfred Lizmores things that his daughter gave me (which wasn't much). The
letter is from Velma.... I'm trying to remember how she fits in but I know
she's a Lizmore, perhaps from London.In it she talks about the John William
Johnson (grampa) and said she did know they were Pennsylvania Dutch and he
drove a mail coach around St. Thomas and Brantford and later always worked
in livery stables or something to do with horses. She said he had a limp.
I don't have any Johnsons that I know of. They could have been related to
another side of the family.
The letter is addressed to "Buster and Marg. Marg was Wilfred's second wife.
I knew that one of the Lizmore boys was nicknamed Buster and now I know who
it was. Never paid much attention to thiis letter because I didn't know any
of the names. Maybe you do. She also says "also with Mom, I can't give you
any dates but I do know that she and Dad were married in Niagara Falls,
April 10, 1909. They crossed over the border in Detroit 9/30/21. James
Lizmore's wife's name was Velma so perhaps the letter writer is a daughter
of Ida May one of James children. This is so complicated.
The letter was written in 1981, received March 27, 1981 it says and the
return address is Eino a. Palovaara, 27304 Leroy St., Roseville, Michigan.
48066. The letter writer is older and talks about going to Florida .
