Man Of Distinction
CDV by Johnson & Wilson, Photographers, Kewanee, Illinois.
Photographer Andrew Johnson, was born in Sweden, in 1834. His wife, Anna, was also born in Sweden, in 1844. The 1880 census lists them in Kewanee, Henry County, Illinois. Their daughters, Emma, age 18, and Matilda, age 14, were both born in Illinois.
The 1880 census finds William Wilson listed as a photographer in Buda, Bureau County, Illinois, about twelve miles from Kewanee. Wilson was born in Virginia, in 1844. His wife Kate, was born in Virginia, in 1849. Their son, Willie R., age 11, was born in Maryland. Their daughter, Belle J. age 5, was born in Illinois, as was their younger son, Eddie L., age 1. Wilson moved to Kewanee, sometime after 1880, and became partners with Andrew Johnson. He is still listed as a photographer in Kewanee, in the 1900 census. I think it is also possible, if not in fact likely, that Wilson was also in Kewanee, prior to being in Buda, and perhaps in partnership with Johnson twice.
