Re: NE town named for Mr.Ingham,a railroader

Hello
My name is Howard Robert Johnson
I don't know if this means anything but I was named after a man named "Mr. Ingham" my parents always
referred to him that way, his name was Howard Robert Ingham and was of that era and also in that
area of Nebraska and Wyoming at that time. I don't know anything about him except that I have a book
named "The Bullwhacker", by Hooker,1924. He wrote notes in the book about people he knew and places
he worked which could have been on the railroad. He wrote on the cover page

"I have made a cross of those I personaly new
this book was of the times
on the Seminole trail I
worked one year later
1876
H.R.I."
He gave me three books at that time when I was only about 6 months old and wrote something in all of
them. I also wood like to get information about him
Thanks
Howard
