Peter T Johnson M.D. This name will be recognized by many of our readers as that of a man located in Battle Creek and practicing what may be called clairvoyant Eclecticism. the gift of clairvoyancy has been Dr Johnson's from his earliest recollection and when a child was often declared by his mother to be bewitched. In later days he made a study of the principles of clairvoyancy became firmly convinced of their usefulness to mankind and combining them with his knowledge of medicine has thoroughly satisfied himself and converted many to his own belief. He us his clairvoyant power in making examinations and has preformed some wonderful cures, in cases where the seat of the disease could not be determined by ordinary means. He has a fine practice, extending over a wide circuit of country.
Dr Johnson was born in Genesee County NY November 22, 1828. His parents were Calvin and Nancy (Powers) Johnson, natives of the Empire State and the father a farmer by occupation.
In 1836 the family came to this State, establishing their home in Kalamazoo County, where the father died in 1858. The mother survived until 1874. To Them were born seven Children of whom the survivors are Daniel L, a miller of Yorkville, Kalamazoo County, Seymour C , a resident of San Francisco Ca, and the subject of this notice.
From the time he was old enough to take a part in such labors until he was seventeen years of age, Dr Johnson was principally engaged in driving a yoke of oxen, plowing, cradling, raking and binding, and chopping and logging.
He attended school during the winter months only, but in this way laid the foundation of his present knowledge.
At the age noted he went to Kent County, where he worked in the sawmill a year, after which he took up cabinet making, spending some time at this trade.During the first year he received &25 and was obliged to clothe himself; the second year $30 and third year $50. When he finally determined to engage in business for himself he kept on at his trade, doing a very satisfactory business for a number of years.
In Kent County Dr Johnson married his first wife, b , the ceremony being performed January 24, 1848.
To them were born four children but one of whom is now living. This is Mary, wife of William Mason, whose home is in Ypsilanti. The devoted wife and mother died in 1875.
Dr Johnson was married to his present wife Mrs Cordelia A Cassidy, nee Fish, in 1880.
Doctor Johnson began the study of medicine with his father in law, Dr John Darrow, who followed the Thompsonian System.
He continued his studies with Dr Young, an allopath, and in 1853 began practicing in Kent County. Early in the 60's he removed to Galesburg and thence to Ypsilanti. In 1875 he took a course of lectures at the Cincinnati (Ohio) Eclectic College and followed this up until his graduation in 1879.
At that time he was located for practice in Coldwater. In 1887 he made a permanent location in Battle Creek, where as elsewhere, his peculiar powers have been tested and his ability is duly appreciated.
The religious feeling of Dr Johnson is expressed in the words of the poet - "Belongs to no sect, no erred confined, The world is my home, my brethren, all mankind"
He is a member of the Spiritual Society for which he lectures every Sunday evening. He has traveled quite extensively as a lecturer, having given himself more or less to that work since 1853
