Walter Joseph Johns was born 2 Aug 1883, a son of Joseph Henry Johns and Laura Driggers.
He was married 3 times. With his first wife Arletha Quick he had 7 children; but, Arletha died shortly after the birth of their 7th child. The child also died about 6 months later.
After the death of Arletha Quick Johns on 22 April 1927; Joseph married Blanche Scott on 10 August 1927. The marriage took place in Marlboro county, South Carolina.
This was a short-lived marriage. By 1930 Walter was reporting that he was a widow.
I haven’t found a death certificate or tombstone for Blanche Scott Johns. When she died and where she is buried is unknown. After her death, Walter married Ellen Grooms on 22 August 1933.
Walter died 30 January 1964 and is buried in the Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church Cemetery, Cheraw, Chesterfield County, South Carolina.
Walter Joseph Johns is my Granduncle.
