According to her grandson, Rich Johnston of Ohio, his paternal grandmother, Hannah Lousia Johnston lived at 28 Belvedere St. at the time of her death in 1912. This was the same address ocupied for a number of years by his grandfather Johnston's brother. Rich stated there is speculation that James R, who was a building contractor, may have built, owned, and rented a number of properties on Belvedere St. after the fire of 1892. Rich's maternal grandmother, Jean Mitchell, lived in the same area. (letter from Rich Johnston to Dorothy Agriesti - Oct. 5 1998)
