Oh boy, I was trying to figure that one out. Mary’s sister Euphemia Barbour married firstly Robert James Lamont, and then James Wilson. So her aunt was Janet Fish Johnston who died 1917.  Gotta think about that one some more.
That was quite the marriage between Irving Blakely Johnston and Lillian Jane Colby in 1913. I will try to figure out some of the guests. The guest list  did help me determine if George Johnston had daughters Jessie and Jeanette or were Jessie and Jeanette the same person. Since they are both listed, they are different persons.

Upon checking, Euphemia Lamont nee Barbour did not marry James Wilson until 1925. Janet Fish  Johnston died in 1917. So was James Wilson married before or is this a different James Wilson?

I have now found Janet F. Johnston, age 60,  in 1915 at Upland with her aunt Eliza F. J. Wilson, age 40, born in USA (so not Euphemia). https://www.rootschat.com/links/01tnn/
This makes sense since the owner of the plot where Janet was buried was Eliza F.J.Wilson.
In 1915, Eliza's brother was George J. Logan, age 38, born in USA. So Eliza was nee Logan.
In 1905, Eliza's husband was James Wilson, age 33, bricklayer, born 1872 in Scotland. Children Elizabeth, James, Janette. https://www.rootschat.com/links/01tno/
In 1900, James and Eliza spelled Elias have been married 5 years and she was born in New Jersey Aug 1874, living next door to Elizabeth Logan born Scotland 1856, age 26 when married.

James Wilson is on the 1905 census in Yonkers but not in 1910 when Eliza is a widow. So he died between 1905 and 1910.

An obituary might give a clue as to how he is related to Janet Fish Johnston, more precisely than just his aunt. Also whether he is related to John Caldwell Johnston.
I did find a Jene Johnston in 1910 in Manhattan, age 44, born Scotland, married to James Johnston, age 47, carpenter. Married 7 years, came to USA in 1907. Don't know if it is Janet Fish Johnston but the age is about right.

It is looking like Elizabeth Logan who married James Wilson was born Aug 17, 1873 in Montclair Township, Essex County, New Jersey to parents George Logan and Elizabeth Johnston. That could explain why John Caldwell Johnston died in Montclair in 1938.
On the 1880 census, in Westchester, New York, we have George Logan, age 29, wife Elizabeth 29,and daughter Elizabeth 6 (would later marry James Wilson) with sister-in-law Jeanette Johnston who is single, age 34, so age is not correct to be Janet Fish Johnston who was born abt 1865.
