1920's YWCA benefit stage show
My great-aunt, Edna Lucille Fuller (Mrs. Roscoe C. Johnson) was a great advocate of the YWCA. After her graduation from John Marshall High School in 1922, she produced many plays and performances as fund raisers. Lucille is on the right side of the photo in the frilly, white dress. Unfortunately, I don't know the title of the show.

Charlie Miller & Navy friends
Charlie Miller and Navy friends in London: This is the front and back of a souvenir photo sent to friends in the US. My father, Charles E. Miller, is in the top left of this photo. Charlie was born and reared in Richmond, Virginia living at the Masonic Home of Virginia from the age of five. The other Navy men in the photo are only identified by initials or nicknames and their home state. The photo location is unknown, the photographer may have set up a temporary studio to accommodate the service men. My father was bound for duty in Africa.

Lucille (Fuller) Johnson, 1920
A Scheffler Family photo; Lucille Fuller [Johnson] at about age 18: This is Lucille Fuller [Johnson] at about age 18. This is probably a special studio portrait rather than her high school yearbook photo. On close examination, you can see a fancy comb in her hair above her left shoulder. The dropped waistline of her dress seems to be ornamented with jet beads or sequins.
Lucille married Roscoe Chesterman Johnson on July 24, 1929 at Centenary Methodist Church, Richmond, Virginia. Roscoe was soon ordained as a Methodist minister. Lucille made an ideal preacher's wife.

Edna Lucille (Fuller) Johnson, New Jersey
This is the image from a photo postcard with the message "January 1st 1906, Happy New Year from Lucille."
This is one of a series of photographs and postcards in an album that I inherited from my great-aunt, Edna Lucille Fuller Johnson (1903 - 1988.) I believe the photos were taken by her father, Frederick L. Fuller (1871 – c.1915.) As Mr. Fuller died when she was still a child, I have very few clues to his life. Most of the photos are of rivers in New Jersey and other states. I think his interest in rivers related to hydro-electric plants that he may have helped to establish. There are also family photos that probably record the members of his grandfather's household prior to 1903. The Scheffler family lived on Jasper Street, Paterson, New Jersey. Unfortunately, unlike the river photos, there are no names recorded in the album for family members.
Fred Fuller can only be found on two federal census reports. The first listing is on the 1880 census of Paterson, Passaic, New Jersey, where he is a nine year old living with his grandfather, Theodore Scheffler.
The second listing is on the census of 1900 for Frederick and his wife Nana or Nannie Blackley (1879 - 1838.) In that year, he is listed as an electrician, living in Essex, East Orange, New Jersey.
According to family lore, Fred met his future wife, Nana Blackley, when he went to Franklin, North Carolina to set up an electric plant.

Aboard the S.S. City of Rome, 1894
The S.S. City of Rome: My great-grandfather, Asa Johnson (1872 - 1957)of Richmond, Virginia loved to travel. He attended the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 and the Exposition Internationale d'Anvers in Belgium in 1894. He crossed the Atlantic aboard the "City of Rome," a ship in the Norwegian Inman Line. This unidentified group of ladies and gentlemen were fellow travelers on board.
Tumbrel Cart Permit, Petersburg, Virginia, 1837-1838
This is a license to operate a tumbrel cart in Petersburg, Virginia. The permit was issued to my g-g-great-grandfather, George H. W. Ivey (03/11/1799 - 03/07/1838.) George Ivey was born in Virginia, migrated to Tennessee then returned to Virginia where he died. He was the father of Mary Ann Ivey Johnson and George W. Ivey. The Ivey / Johnson family Bible may be viewed on line through the Library of Virginia web site.
Asa Johnson ( 1872 - 1957)
Asa Johnson was the son of Mary Ann Ivey and Joseph Hiram Johnson.This photograph of Asa was taken about 1943; at that time, he had been a Mason for fifty years. He is wearing his Masonic emblem on its ornamental ribbon. Asa worked for the T.W.Wood & Sons Seed Company in Richmond,Virginia for at least sixty years.
Louise Cecilia Johnson, c.1908
Louise Cecilia Johnson was the tenth of eleven children born to Helen "Nellie" Rosalie Callahan and Charles "Charlie" Lawrence Johnson. Charlie's father Jacob had come to Virginia from Bohemia at which time the spelling of his surname was changed from 'Jansen' to 'Johnson'. Louise married Asa Byron Johnson (of English descent) and complicated the genealogy for the family! In this snapshot, Louise is sitting on the steps of her parents' home at #18 Rowland Street in Richmond.
Francis Deane Bolton and Edward Henry Bolton
These two photos are of Francis Deane Bolton (1856 - 1901) and Edward Henry Bolton (1860 - aft. 1930.)They were the sons of Marianna Mayo Anderson and Washington Bolton, and younger brothers to Mary Washington Bolton Chesterman, all of Richmond, Virginia.
Deane Bolton was married to Rosalie Clash and had two daughters, Hannah and Marian. Deane worked as a representative for a printing company until his untimely death due to pneumonia. His widow married Thadeus Foster several years later.
Edward was a blacksmith for the railroad, working on locomotives. He married Elizabeth Gunzert and had seven children; Ida, Henrietta (Yetta), Edward S., Frank, Marianne, Laura and Charles.
As their father was a tailor by trade, he may have used copies of these photographs to promote sales of young men's suits.

Roscoe Dabney Chesterman, 1865
Roscoe Dabney Chesterman (1849 – 1901) was my great-great-grandfather.The black and white image adjacent to the photo is a copy of the back of the photo card. Roscoe was the son of Edwin Henry Chesterman and Mary Catherine Jenkins. Born in Hanover County, Virginia, his family moved to Richmond, Henrico County prior to 1860. Roscoe was named for his maternal uncle, Roscoe Dabney Jenkins, a newspaper reporter.
On November 28, 1863, he followed the example of his father and brothers and joined the local defense troops, Company G, Third Regiment, C. S. A. under Colonel J. A. McAnorny and Captain E. S. Gay. He stated his age as sixteen but he was actually only fourteen. Though this was probably a boy's unit that would not have seen action, he was paroled at Burkeville, Virginia on April 23rd, indicating that he had moved west with Lee's army and was probably involved in combat along the way.
This photograph is dated August 11th, 1865, at which time Roscoe had finally turned sixteen.
The 1866 records for Richmond College (now the University of Richmond) list Roscoe as studying Latin, French, English and mathematics.
In June of 1872, Roscoe married Miss Mary “Mollie” Washington Bolton.
The U.S. Census for 1880 has transcribed his name as "Charterman."

Asa Johnson Family, Virginia 1949
As a widower, my great-grandfather, Asa Johnson, married at age 75 to a spinster of the same age. This did not set well with the family, as she had announced the intended marriage before he even asked for her hand. Asa was too much of a gentleman to deny her claim, though. This photo is a family get-together where everyone seems to be having a good time. It's also one of the rare photos showing his second wife, Miss Eva, smiling.
