I've looked at the two street necrologies on the main site and I didn't see a mention of Johnson Street. Does anyone know where this street was? I have a 1907 directory of synagogues with at least two of them listed on Johnson Street.

Johnson Ave. is now Brewery Ave. (vacated)
Johnson Ave. is now Kedzie Ave. 3100 to 8700S and 10300 to 11499S.
Johnson Pl. is now Elmwood Ave.
Johnson St. is now Peoria St. 1000 to 2200S.
Johnston Ave. is now Lyndale St. 2800 to 3199W.
Johnston St. is now Marshfield Ave. 800 to 1200N.

Obviously Peoria St was in the Jewish ghetto, so that's presumably the one you're looking for.
