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.

This locket is in the possession of Beth Klingensmith of Colorado Springs, Colorado.  ([email protected]) 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.
