Never married. Age 55 years, 11 months, 19 days.

Died in Sabinal Rest Home. Louis, or Tang as he was affectionately called all his life, especially by his mother who favored him as a boy. Louis , for the most part never lifted a finger if he didnt have to. He was a rancher, but mostly he was a bootlegger, which he started, even before prohibition and did it for some time after. The story goes that at any given day or night you could see Tang wandering the streets of San Angelo, looking for "clients". He was never mistaken, even from a distance because he had always walked with a permanent stoop. This man was apparently a real character.

Occupation: Retired Rancher--

Son of James Wesley Johnson (b. Alabama in 1862 and died in TX IN 1934) & Annie Dee Houghton (b.Tx 1870, d 1955 Tx)

Informant on death certificate: Ms. Willa Gray( Johnson) Azopardi.
