March 20, 1952- Front page J. A. Johnson Dies Instantly in Car CrashOne of Smethport's best known and most esteemed business men, J. Alfred Johnson, 68, was instantly killed at 1:55 pm. Thursday, March 13, when his car hit a tree on Route 6, about 50 feet beyond the western entrance to the McKean County Home. State Police at Kanewho Investigated, said that Mr. Johnson —who was traveling west—had just passed a State snowplow when the accident occurred. The scene is only a short distance west of the Smethport borough Vine. His car skidded on the slippery highway, left the road and crashed into the tree. The car, a Plymouth coupe, was completely demolished. The point of impact with the tree was the left front door (on the
driver's side.) There had been an unusually heavy fall of snow here Thursday morning and the pavement was still wet in the afternoon. It is reported that Mr. Johnson was driving to Hazelhurst, where he had a business appointment with Justice of the Peace Arnold Field.
McKean County Coroner Elmer Beatty of Bradford investigated and issued a certificate of accidental death.
Mr. Johnson was born in Sweden, July 18, 1883, and had been a resident of this borough for the past 50 years. He was employed by the old Camp Glass Co. In Smethport and became, sucessively a window glass blower and manager of the factory. After the glass plant stopped operations, he entered the building contracting business. About 15 years ago he entered the retail hardware business here. He was a member of the board of Ansgarius Lutheran Church anc
active in the affairs of the church; a past master of McKean Lodge 338, Free and Accepted Masons; and a member of the Smethport Odd Fellows, the Coudersport Consistory
and the Smethport Rotary Club. He served as a member of Borough Council about 12 years
ago. Seldom, if ever, have more sincere expressions of regret been heard here than followed in the wake of the news of Mr. Johnson's death His former customers recalled the courteous attention they always received at Mr. Johnson's store. It was agreed that Mr. Johnsonwas Just as glad to see his Mends and customers, regardless o( whether they wonted to make a 5c purchase or get an estimate on a house, Mr. Johnson always contributed liberally to civic projects— he took great pride in his town. Mr. Johnson's business activities provided a number of jobs for local men. This was not the least of his contributions to the welfare of
Smethport. His complete devotion to his family as a husband, father and grandfaiher
was well known and admired by all who knew him.
It is sad to note that, in the past few months, Ansgarlus Lutheran Church has lost three of its oldest most lo.val supporters—all named Johnson, and all unrelated but out-standing in their work in behalf of ' the congregation. They are: C. P. Johnson. Emil Johnson and, now J. Alfred Johnson. A stalwart trio Come like that is well-nigh impossible to replace.
Mr. Johnson's son, Charles, and the latter's wife were doubly bereaved in the space of a week. Mrs. Johnson's father, Harry Weber, was found dead at his home in Buffalo or. Tuesday, March 4. Mr. Johnson is survived by his wife, Lena, whom he married in 1907; a son, Charles, with whom Mr. Johnson was associated in the hardware business." and a daughter.

Friday afternoon when he quit his day's labors he appeared to be in unusually vigorous health and spirits. After partaking of the evening meal he seated himself in the living room of his home to peruse the evening paper and while thus engaged suddenly expired. His son and daughter in law Mr and Mrs Albert Johnson, who resided with him at the family home were present when the end came. In Mr Johnson the highest virtues of citizenship were represented.

March 20, 1952- Front page J. A. Johnson Dies Instantly in Car CrashOne of Smethport's best known and most esteemed business men, J. Alfred Johnson, 68, was instantly killed at 1:55 pm. Thursday, March 13, when his car hit a tree on Route 6, about 50 feet beyond the western entrance to the McKean County Home. State Police at Kanewho Investigated, said that Mr. Johnson —who was traveling west—had just passed a State snowplow when the accident occurred. The scene is only a short distance west of the Smethport borough Vine. His car skidded on the slippery highway, left the road and crashed into the tree. The car, a Plymouth coupe, was completely demolished. The point of impact with the tree was the left front door (on the
driver's side.) There had been an unusually heavy fall of snow here Thursday morning and the pavement was still wet in the afternoon. It is reported that Mr. Johnson was driving to Hazelhurst, where he had a business appointment with Justice of the Peace Arnold Field.
McKean County Coroner Elmer Beatty of Bradford investigated and issued a certificate of accidental death.
Mr. Johnson was born in Sweden, July 18, 1883, and had been a resident of this borough for the past 50 years. He was employed by the old Camp Glass Co. In Smethport and became, sucessively a window glass blower and manager of the factory. After the glass plant stopped operations, he entered the building contracting business. About 15 years ago he entered the retail hardware business here. He was a member of the board of Ansgarius Lutheran Church anc
active in the affairs of the church; a past master of McKean Lodge 338, Free and Accepted Masons; and a member of the Smethport Odd Fellows, the Coudersport Consistory
and the Smethport Rotary Club. He served as a member of Borough Council about 12 years
ago. Seldom, if ever, have more sincere expressions of regret been heard here than followed in the wake of the news of Mr. Johnson's death His former customers recalled the courteous attention they always received at Mr. Johnson's store. It was agreed that Mr. Johnsonwas Just as glad to see his Mends and customers, regardless o( whether they wonted to make a 5c purchase or get an estimate on a house, Mr. Johnson always contributed liberally to civic projects— he took great pride in his town. Mr. Johnson's business activities provided a number of jobs for local men. This was not the least of his contributions to the welfare of
Smethport. His complete devotion to his family as a husband, father and grandfaiher
was well known and admired by all who knew him.
It is sad to note that, in the past few months, Ansgarlus Lutheran Church has lost three of its oldest most lo.val supporters—all named Johnson, and all unrelated but out-standing in their work in behalf of ' the congregation. They are: C. P. Johnson. Emil Johnson and, now J. Alfred Johnson. A stalwart trio Come like that is well-nigh impossible to replace.
Mr. Johnson's son, Charles, and the latter's wife were doubly bereaved in the space of a week. Mrs. Johnson's father, Harry Weber, was found dead at his home in Buffalo or. Tuesday, March 4. Mr. Johnson is survived by his wife, Lena, whom he married in 1907; a son, Charles, with whom Mr. Johnson was associated in the hardware business." and a daughter.
Mrs. Arnold Peterson, all of Smethport. One daughter, Mrs. Elsie Baker, is deceased.
A prayer service was held at the Lee Funeral Home Sunday afternoon at 2:30, followed by services in Ansgarius Church. The pastor, the Rev. C. O. Thunberg, officiated. Honorary pallbearers were John Larson, Fred Milroy, Clarence Sample and William Gustafson. Active

Albert William Macbeth
When I was a young preschooler, Monroe and Don were at our house often and sometimes grandpa Harry came with them. While Monroe was in the Army during world war two mom wrote. to Monroe regularly. He was in Africa and Italy. he came to visit on leave prior to going to the Pacific but the war ended and he was discharged. Albert he had a master of _____ degree he had no relevant experience so he decided to become a welder which he did spending the rest of his life at Euclid truck co in Cleveland. he stayed with us until getting a job and an apartment.
when we were living in shaker heights about 19__ Don brought Jo to house for the evening to introduce us to his then fiancé. He and dad fixed a punch bowl and one of them probably dad a pint of 4 roses to bowl. when mom found the empty bottle she came unglued. to add insult to injury she claimed Jo was Catholic another grievous sin in mom view. I don't think she ever spoke to Don or Jo again. I remember visiting the Kilpatricks. one time for Sunday dinner in Tip City. this would have been before 1936. I don't remember any Kilpatrick visiting us except one of the boys. he had dinner with us. as I recall he was wearing his dress blues headed for home from World War II. uncle Monroe may have been there too. apparently mom and aunt Clara didn't get along so no contact was made.
Uncle Monroe died young, 55 as I recall too and it was some time months before I found out. I never discovered what caused my mothers Anti-Macbeth attitude but it was real. yet she claimed to have traced the family tree back to the Battle of Hastings which took place in 1066 A.D. note however neither my brother Bruce Malcolm Bruce born July 16, 1939 nor I found any genealogy records in her papers after she died on election year 1984. I'll meen my brother when I write Bruce as I never met our cousin Bruce who's uncle Don son when I reference Don's Bruce I'll write Bruce Don. Bruce and I recently July 1997 discuss this subject and concluded we have no papers from mom's genealogy. Interesting I received an inquiry from a lady in Sandy Utah part of Salt Lake City metro area regarding the Macbeth family history. she sent the letter to our PO Box in law the Hot Springs
Idaho where we have a summer home until this year we spent 3 to 6 months of the year in Lava my health prevented that this year 1997 hence we didn't get her letter until June of this year as our PO
Box hadn't forwarded it I've talked to her via telephone I don't think we were related however I
offered her the same thing I'll offer you. Our older son James Alex married a Mormon girl and
converted to her church the Latter Day Saints of Jesus Christ who are more commonly known as
Mormons in LDS beliefs genealogy is a big deal indeed the LDS church maintains in Salt Lake City
the biggest and best genealogy records known to man. we suggested to Alex that he obtain information from his grandmother Eulalia and he recently July 1997 told me that they discussed the
subject however there wasn't too much hard data. I told Alex of these Macbeth inquiries and will
provide him copies of your letters hopefully he'll respond as he now has a fairly compelling religious reason to find his ancestors and yet I think I'll remind him occasionally as we have local northern
Utah and southern Idaho macbeth and macbeath families and he's not talked to them yet. Mom
always claimed I should have a silver snuff box that had been given to the father of the boys who
immigrated to USA. it was supposedly dated 1836. however I not only don't have it I have no idea
what I'm looking for. furthermore the snuffbox name was Macbeath but when they arrived in USA
the boys return to Shakespearean or Macbeth spelling.
uncle Monroe had done some genealogy study relating to Conneaut information. along with many
old photographs which were more scenic than people oriented he sent a family Bible. it is not a
Macbeth family Bible however but I don't remember the family name unfortunately it's in storage and won't be available for another 60 to 90 days when we move into our new house. about 20 years ago
we have friends who owned a local motel. One evening an older guest registered and our friend said we have you living here too. so he called me and he and his wife came to her house and spend the
evening they were from Calgary Canada he was retired fire department and idly curious about
genealogy. I got out the stuff uncle Monroe sent me but we could see no ties in between our families. grandpa Harry had a sister who married a Roberts. Robert was a railroader as Harry was and Roberts ended up in Ogden Utah. Ogden remains and major Rail head point with Union Pacific southern
Pacific and Santa Fe having large headquarters there one Sunday about 35 years ago the Roberts
came to visit they were dressed very well as though they'd been to church and when they explained
who they were we invited them in for coffee. if we hadn't been to church note we usually were in church or home from church a few minutes we have been in our grubbies I'm sure at that time with
three kids two in school and the baby it wasn't a calm quiet visit. they refuse the coffee but sat and
chatted a few minutes. they left soon with no indication any further contact was desired and we never pursued it. I'm sure they were deceased by now. the one thing I do remember well was that Mr.
Roberts could have been Harry's twin. I was shocked when I saw him at the door.

Albert William Macbeth (1930-1997)
4 September 1997
Dear cousins,
Your letter was a pleasant surprise. I thank you for your interest. Albert's son Albert Williams a.k.a. Bill and Malcolm Bruce a.k.a. Bruce did not do a good job of maintaining contact with our Macbeth aunts, uncles, and cousins. Bruce has some excuse as he was close to mother. Eulalia X. Lewis Macbeth, only talked to one Macbeth family member regularly and that was Monroe. After she and Albert Clarence (my dad) divorced in 1947, I don't think she even talked to uncle Monroe. Dad was only 58 when he died. He is buried near Grandpa harry in conneaut. I called uncle Monroe regarding dad's death and he was at the funeral as were other Conneaut relatives that I'd never met before. Uncle Monroe seemed to know them all and he introduced me. She was very anti-Macbeth after dad left her in the summer of 1947. I tried to keep in touch with uncle Monroe and aunt Clara which I did until their deaths. I asked uncle Monroe about contacting uncle Don and he said he let them read my letters so don't bother. When uncle Monroe died I never heard from Don so I assumed he wasn't interested. In hindsight I'm not sure I understood the clan animosity but I think it was very heated at times. My mother was part of the problem i.e. she hated aunt Clara and Jo, but I think dad got into it with his siblings over grandpa's will too.
Having lived all my adult life except in the summer of 1951 in the west I did not make an effort to contact my cousins. In hindsight that's lamentable! If you have Don's son Bruce's address I'd appreciate having it. Incidentally where is Jane's brother John?
I am making copies of data that you sent for our son Alex. He married a Mormon girl and joined her church. Genealogy is a big deal for Mormons and he has more data than I do. If I keep at him I may get him to the largest genealogy library in the world which is in salt lake city.
Also grandpa Harry had a sister who married Roberts. They live in Ogden Utah and 35 years ago they came to our home. We invited them in but they only stayed briefly and left without indicating any desire to establish a relationship. We dropped it of course and never heard from them again. Interestingly Mr. Roberts looked like grandpa Harry indeed my jaw dropped when I saw him at the door.
One time early in the 40s perhaps 1940 or 41, we visited family in Cleveland Heights. They had three daughters and as I recall teenagers where one was nine or 10. I do you not recall names at all and only remember dad saying these 32nd cousins, whatever that meant. The family name may have been Krueger or something like that. They never came to our house nor did we go back to their house again.
I would appreciate having Pat Miller's address too. That name rings a dim bell but I cannot make any connections as yet. In my papers I have letter that flew on the first flight of the Douglas B-19. I haven't seen it in 20 or 30 years so I don't remember who wrote the letter or who it was to, but dad got it for me saying it was from relative that works for Douglas.
To conclude we had just bought a new home here. We'll be moving in the next 30 to 45 days. Once we are settled, we intend to gather and organize all our family history and photographs I'll go through stuff looking for data that you may find interesting and get it to you.
Sincerely Bill and Donna
PS congratulations on your 50th anniversary as that's a great achievement. hope you enjoyed Alaska. the 35 mm slides dad took in 1937 1938 when we lived there are very faded now but I still remember some about it.
Dear cousins,
Your letter was a pleasant surprise. I thank you for your interest. Albert's son Albert Williams a.k.a. Bill and Malcolm Bruce a.k.a. Bruce did not do a good job of maintaining contact with our Macbeth aunts, uncles, and cousins. Bruce has some excuse as he was close to mother. Eulalia X. Lewis Macbeth, only talked to one Macbeth family member regularly and that was Monroe. After she and Albert Clarence (my dad) divorced in 1947, I don't think she even talked to uncle Monroe. Dad was only 58 when he died. He is buried near Grandpa harry in conneaut. I called uncle Monroe regarding dad's death and he was at the funeral as were other Conneaut relatives that I'd never met before. Uncle Monroe seemed to know them all and he introduced me. She was very anti-Macbeth after dad left her in the summer of 1947. I tried to keep in touch with uncle Monroe and aunt Clara which I did until their deaths. I asked uncle Monroe about contacting uncle Don and he said he let them read my letters so don't bother. When uncle Monroe died I never heard from Don so I assumed he wasn't interested. In hindsight I'm not sure I understood the clan animosity but I think it was very heated at times. My mother was part of the problem i.e. she hated aunt Clara and Jo, but I think dad got into it with his siblings over grandpa's will too.
Having lived all my adult life except in the summer of 1951 in the west I did not make an effort to contact my cousins. In hindsight that's lamentable! If you have Don's son Bruce's address I'd appreciate having it. Incidentally where is Jane's brother John?
I am making copies of data that you sent for our son Alex. He married a Mormon girl and joined her church. Genealogy is a big deal for Mormons and he has more data than I do. If I keep at him I may get him to the largest genealogy library in the world which is in salt lake city.
Also grandpa Harry had a sister who married Roberts. They live in Ogden Utah and 35 years ago they came to our home. We invited them in but they only stayed briefly and left without indicating any desire to establish a relationship. We dropped it of course and never heard from them again. Interestingly Mr. Roberts looked like grandpa Harry indeed my jaw dropped when I saw him at the door.

Letter from Albert C. Macbeth (1906-1964)
June 4, 1964
Dear Donna & Bill;
I have a few minutes in the office, so a letter.
We went to Conneaut over decoration day and put a few flowers on the graves. Stopped to see Eleanor Buss but she was not home so we went down to the township park to see Bertha (Baldwin) Stout. She is my first cousin and I haven't seen her for twenty five years. She knew me at once and threw her arms around me and kissed me like a long lost cousin should. We had a nice visit. Her husband is care-taker of the park. They have a nice home furnished and a beautiful view over the harbor where you can watch the boats come and go. Perhaps you do not know who she is- She is the daughter of my fathers sister. (Nell Macbeth Baldwin) and is the same age as my sister Clare.
One of my fathers other sisters (Ann Macbeth Roberts) lived in Salt Lake City for years. I never saw her but once and you were only about three years old. She has since passed away but has a son Albert Roberts who lives in Ogden, Utah. He is now retired as a major general or something in the army plus railroad mail carrier plus a rail retirement. Should get about six hundred per month according to the family bull ____. Anyway his address is 540 Chest St. Ogden. When over that way why don't you go and see him.
They say he looks very much like my dad. The only time I ever saw him was when he went to Conneaut on the track train on his way to France during World War One in 1917 and I was just a kid about 9 or 10 years old.
Anyway if you get a chance stop and see he and his wife Evelyn. I went back to the Dr. yesterday, thought he would take this ____ silver tube out of my throat but he talked me out of it. The plate on the outside rubs my neck soar like ____ rash. He put a new tube in and said he would rather leave it open in case I get a bad chest cold. I thought you were going to make a trip back east in June? Be sure and let us know. Sure would like to see the kids.
I took a couple of drinks after coming from the doctors the other evening and Ev is pissed off - wont speak to me and all that usual marital not.
Better get this in the mail.
Love to all,
Dad
