He is survived by a widow and one son, Andrew, who lives on the old farm. Mr. Johnson bought the place opposite T. E. King’s residence about a year ago and only a week or so ago had cement walks put in around the entire corner, despite the fact that he knew he could not live long to enjoy this and other improvements. The family all visited the old home and friends in Denmark from February to December, 1904, and while there Andrew, Jr., was married and brought his wife home with him. Deceased was born in 1838, came to America in 1870, and to this state in 1879. He was a very intelligent and interesting man and will be greatly missed by his many friends.
