I am from Princeton, Illinois and know that I am related to Lon Chaney Jr. My middle name
is Lon in honor of that geneology. My Grandparents were Herman Johnson married to Leta
Bryan, and Harlan Salmon married to Marilla Myers. When I was a child, a friend of ours
was a geneology buff. He contacted Lon Jr. , who sent me a picture and wrote me a letter
stating how pleased he was that I had been named in his honor. I never understood exactly
how I was related to him, so I too would be very interested in finding out more. I am 54
years old now, so I was very young when Lon sent the letter. It was probably around 1966
or so. I can probably help you with the Illinois geneology, and look forward to hearing
from you.
