This is obviously the same Joseph Liston as in the Draft Registration in W est Virginia. While there is no concrete proof from these two informati on pieces, it seems likely that this is Joseph T. Liston, husband of Jos ie Q. Johnson, and it is being recorded as such. Evelyn Johnson Frankenber ry has said that Joseph and Josie Johnson Liston moved around quite a bi t. She also recalls that, at some point after 1930, they moved to Califor nia, and her recollection is that they moved to Lake Elsinore, CA. This a lso fits well with other information: Josie died in Chula Vista, was buri ed in Parris, CA. There is no Parris, CA, but there is a Perris, CA, a nd it is near Riverside (where Joseph died) and Lake Elsinore. Further ef fort will be made to verify this.
