Tingley Centennial: 1883 ~ 1983
TINGLEY'S JOHNSTON SISTERS Win Many Amateur Contests
The JOHNSTON Sisters (shown above with their father) of Tingley, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. JOHNSTON, have the
distinction of having competed in twenty-seven Amateur Contests. In this number they have only missed in the money winners
three times. These girls have won in contests at such places as Lorimor, Des Moines, Murray, Creston and Diagonal. The
acts given by the girls consist of singing and dancing and they are very talented children. Shown in the picture are
Alberta, Roberta, Anna Mae and Eva June with their father, J. A. JOHNSTON.
