Armage Hayes Johnson (1853-1917) was married twice:
(1) Mary Johnson, born circa 1860 and died before 1887, and
(1) Susan D. Johnson (1867-1944.)

Children from the first marriage were (or included:)
* Samuel Tilden Johnson (1879-1924,)
* Eliza Johnson Darley (1885-1913,) and
* William H. Johnson (1885-1974.)

Children from the second marriage were (or included:)
* Mamie A. Johnson McCorvey (1888-1918),
* Armage Benjamin Johnson (1891-1970,)
* James Monroe Johnson (1893-1974,) and
* Eunice Johnson Griffin (1898-1979).
------------------------------------------
This plot (5 L 14 7th West) holds three graves:
Eliza Johnson Darley (1885-1913,)
A. Thomas Darley (1909-1909,) and
Deloris Darley (1911-1911.)

The graves of Infant Lane 7 West #05 Unknown, Infant Lane 7 West #06 Unknown, and Infant Lane 7 West #07 Unknown are nearby, but apparently not within the Darley plot.

Eliza married circa 1905, and by 1910 had given birth to three children, all of whom were still living:
* Ivy Darley (born circa 1906,)
* Mary Darley (born circa 1908,) and
* Armage Darley (born circa January 1909.)
The 1910 U.S. Census shows Eliza and the three children living with her father and stepmother; although she is listed as being married, she used her maiden name and her husband was not included in the household.

I suspect that Eliza was the mother of the two infants buried in the same plot as she. I wonder if A. Thomas Darley (1909-1909) might be the same person as Armage Darley, the third of Eliza's children (listed above;) if so, the date of death would be 1910 rather than 1909, as the little boy was three months old on April 25, 1910, when the household was enumerated.
