Sister Amy Park Johnson, by virtue and authority of the Holy Priesthood, I
place my hands upon thy head and give unto thee a blessing which shall be
dictated by the Spirit of the Lord. The Lord knows the integrity of your
heart; He knows that your desires are to serve Him, and therefore you have
but to call upon Him and every blessing that you can desire in righteousness
He will bestow upon you and thru your lineage, which is of Ephraim, you have
inherited all the blessings that any of your sex can attain to, you having
been born of goodly parents, who are united in the bonds of holy matrimony by
a servant of the Lord who was duly qualified to do so. You are one of the
choice spirits that has been sent forth to fill a great mission. You are
destined to labor among the youth of Zion and you will make friends with
them. The Lord has a mission for you to fill and thru the filling of the
same you will gain a crown of eternal life. You will be blessed with sons and
daughters and have great joy in beholding their progress in the work of the
Lord. You will have wisdom to rear them and lay a foundation in their minds
that they will have a great love for the truth. You will live to behold
great trials and tribulations among the inhabitants of the earth. You will
live to see many flock to Zion for food and protection for a great war will
yet come upon the earth, millions will be slain, blood will flow like water
down the streets. Your table will be spread with the bounties of life: you
will have the privilege of feeding the hungry and administering to the wants
of the distressed. Your days upon the earth will be many. Peace and
happiness will reign in your home, and you will have the love and confidence
and respect of those with whom you may associate. You have a gift of
discernment that you will never be deceived. You will be able to detect those
who would injure you. All these blessings, together with all former ones, I
seal upon you thru your faithfulness, and seal you up against the power of
the destroyer until the day of redemption to be called forth early in the
morning of the first resurrection in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

BURI NOTE Jeri Johnson CONT gedcom -- 1993Charlie was 11 years old when he left Bitola Yugoslavia for the United States
(Actually, at the time of his birth Bitola was under Turkish rule, then
Macedoniathen it became Yugoslavian). His father had come over first to try to
earn enough money to bring the rest of the family. Since Charlie was the
oldest son, he came to help his father. He wore a box around his neck and sold
saurkraut candy and taffy. He also shined shoes.He owned his own restaurant "Charlie's Original Cafe" (hot dogs and chili),
near Slauson & Vermont streets in Los Angeles (across from a Sears Dept.
store) and he enjoyed a very successful business. He hired Blacks when no
one else would. One in particular (Ada) was so loyal to him that after his
death she called his wife every week to check on her, offer her rides, etc.
He was always loaning money (and never getting it back) to his Mexican
employees who went back and forth to Mexico to visit relatives. He was a
VERY generous man. He "looked" big and tough, but he was a "teddy bear".It is interesting to note that his father and brothers all spell their
surnames differently, and each insists that his way is the correct way. The
reason they're all different is because as each one came off the boat from the
old country the customs officials would ask their name and he wrote it as it
was pronounced and each official spelled it differently (thus: Nickloff,
NickOloff, NiKoloff).His happiest days were spent with his grandchildren (they called him "Dedo",
which is the Macedonian word for grandfather). He loved to travel and did a
lot of it. His last trip was to Europe and the Holy Lands and a visit to
his birthplace, Bitola.He was a ham operator (short wave radio), a Shriner, and loved to dance.
He liked to visit the sick and elderly on Sundays after church. (He went
to several different churches. Greek Orthodox and Science of Mind were his
favorites.Line 6976 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long:

BURI PLAC Inglewood Park Cem,Inglewood,LA,CABirth Place is unclear; Could be Molifalfa OR Er-Mihalyfalva
(which is now Romania), or could be Valea Llui Mihai (a town on the
border. Her description of the village is: " a few hours by wagon or horse
and buggy in middle of these towns: Debretzein, Shestely, Tolva &
Dopala). Closest city was Demishvar. I found an old Atlas and with the
above info I determined the birthplace to have been MOLDOVA!!!Aunt Bette says birthplace is MOLIDORF, which is no longer in existence!
She was called Emma by her friends -- but her grandchildren called her
"Honey".Emma's mother died when she was a baby and her father left for America shortly
after her mother's death, leaving her in the care of her paternal grandmother,
Katerina Yeager, who had six sons and six daughters who were all grown and
married, some with children of their own.When she was 5 years old she started working as a nursemaid for the children
of the six daughters and the wives of the six sons. She tended their babies
while the women worked in the wheat fields. She was sent from home to home to
whoever needed her. If she stayed with one of the daughters who had no
children, she had to work in the fields--and she hated that, because there
were mice in the fields and little boys would rob the mice nests and put baby
mice down the backs of the young girl's dresses.She came to America on a boat by herself at 14 (but her passport said 16 so
she could get a job). The day after she arrived she started working as a
housemaid for Mr. & Mrs. Bletcher who had three sons. The Bletchers were in
the sausage business and were very wealthy. They liked Emma and treated her
like family. They even took her to the opera. Her aunt was suspicious of the
arrangement and made her quit. In 1918 she changed jobs--and her life. Mr.
Linicks had a penny arcade and in that arcade there was a young man named
Charlie who had a soft drink stand. Mr. Linick asked Charlie if he would
mind helping him move his new housemaid's luggage into the house. Charlie
volunteerd and when he saw Emma in the entry hall of the Linick's house, they
both froze. It was love at first sight. Charlie sent her candy kisses then
asked her to the fairgrounds at Palmer Park. He proposed on May 1, 1919 and
they were married on September 14, 1919 (she was 20 he was 26).She visited her father a few times in Cincinati, but he was too busy with "the
ladies" to care much about seeing her.The biggest tragedy she ever faced was losing her first born shortly after
birth. Everyone told her she would never have children because she loved them
too much. Charlie's family was very much against their marriage because in
those days marriages were arranged by the family and they had already selected
a wife for him (Blaga Bougandinoff) and since Emma & Charlie lived with her
in-laws the first few years, they made her life miserable. She spoke German &
Hungarian when she came to this country. Charlie spoke Macedonian, so she had
to learn Macedonian AND English.Christmas was NOT a happy time for her. Her aunts always told her Santa
wasn't bringing her anything because she was a bad girl. She used to hide
in the armoir so Santa wouldn't beat her. Santa brought all the children
oranges because they were a rare treat from Budapest. But Emma never got one
so she would pick up the rinds and eat the white part.
