Found a Capt. William Johnston who was buried Dec 1, 1879. Born Scotland. Age 58. Address 337 Washington Ave. Could be any William but who knows. Not buried with rest of our Johnstons.

Didn't find a George A M Johnston but did find a George B. Johnston. Don't think he is ours.

Baby Elizabeth Johnston died at age 3 days, July 17, 1882. Likely daughter of Peter and Sarah, looking at address and timing.

Although John H. McVicar is not on our list, Greenwood Cemetery has him buried in lot 22981. Birth would be Nov 1861 which doesn't fit with the rest of our information. I don't think he belongs to Elizabeth.
