immigrated to America in 1868, and settled in Lockport, IL, where he has resided ever since; 
Mr. JOHNSON has resided in the same house ever since he came to Lockport, first entering it

MATTHEWS, a native of England; has two children - Louie G., John H. Republican; member of the

manufacture of his boots and shoes, and warrants entire satisfaction.
