I saw this mentioned and am trying to find the original article. I am assuming this refers to the "Cincinnati commercial gazette. : (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1883-1896" but I cannot find access to this paper.
Does anyone have a newspapers.com account that could check for me? TIA any help is much...
Maybe there is more buried on the property

I agree i am still trying to dig up more information. I found an article that speaks of Johnson's widow, Lois Marie H Johnson, who wrote a book about her husband called The Embezzler's Widow. I was hoping to read it and look for any clues into their lives, but i cannot find it anywhere. I did...
So I was just reading a story about this incident on the Cincinnati Enquirer's website, and a user commented that he remembered that Johnson and the group were to be heading to Reading to the location after they landed at Lunken Airport...now where in reading should I look? :)
