The family of of Leonard Martin Johnson and Victoria Irene Johnson lived in Illinois. Both were born in Stockholm Township. The family consisted of Ione (born 1894); Julia (1896); Erma (1897); Lowell (1899); Loyal (1901); John (1904); and Beulah (1905). The children are pictured in a 1907 portrait. The children are dressed alike. The boys all wears fancy blouses with large collars and floppy bows. Boys in the late-19th century were expected to wear suit jackets like their fathers. Only in the 1890s do we begin to see large numbers of boys dressed up in just blouses. It was very common in the 1900s, especially during the summer. The girls in contrast wear rather plain plaid dresses.
