JOHN HOUSE

Photo submitted by Beth Klingensmith 

Beth believes that this is a photo of John House and Julia Ann (Sago) House.  She was told that this picture was taken circa 1868.  However, if picture is taken later there is a chance that woman could be Susan Butler who was John's second wife.   

John House

This locket is in the possession of Beth Klingensmith of Colorado Springs, Colorado.  It was given to her by her Aunt Carolyn Horton Gibson of Muskegon, MI and given to her by her grandmother Mildred House Horton.  It is a picture of Mildred's father John HOUSE of St. Francois and Washington Counties, Missouri who died in Washington County, Arkansas in 1896.  The locket is 1 1/2" in height.  Beth did not want to take it apart for fear of disturbing the picture within.
