ACK! It's such a shame that mom's family was so private. The Janson mentions are rare in the 'Buckman News' column in the Pierz Journal, even with Math Hesch being a close neighbor. Still, once in awhile.....
This visit may have been the occasion this photo was taken, huh?

OK, this one refers to Joe Janson the blacksmith in Buckman, not our great grandfather Joe.

A whole string of extended family mentions here, starting with the news (still new to us in 2012!) that GG Joe went to California to recuperate. Was this the occasion for one of the financial setbacks Grandpa Anton spoke of?
Grasping at straws, see? But this proves grandpa was spotted in town.
Great grandpa Joseph Janson died on December 19, 1911

Finding this next clip was stunning for a number of reasons--one being that the PJ didn't know Daniel's name, but printed the item anyway. Also, Daniel must have been well known in Pierz/Lastrup/Buckman, because of his brother John Janson. People "knew" which Janson they meant, I guess.
We didn't know that Daniel died in California, either.
From the Pierz Journal, December 1, 1910:
This state fair seal was in the Journal. I just thought it was cool.
