His obituary as it was published in the Carroll Chronicle, Carrollton, Ohio, Friday, July 14, 1899.
John Johnson died in Harlem Springs Saturday in his 81st year. He was born Sepember 3, 1818, in Monroe Township, Carroll County, and lived in sight of Dellroy 15 or 16 years.
He moved from there with his parents to the James Noble farm in 1833; was married to Eliza Scarlott, Novemeber 14, 1843, to whom were born nine children--4 boys and 5 girls--four of whom are still living; moved to Harlem 1844 and lived there until 1854; joined the old United Brethren church of Harlem in 1847, of which church he remained a member; moved to the Wiggins farm in 1854 on which he lived the remainder of his life.
When he was yet able to be around he talked of his coming death, and told his son and daughter how he wished to be buried, and made other arrangements for his funeral as calmly as if it was some other person. To him heaven and hell were not mystical, but real places. He bore his sufferings with out a single murmur; met death as calmly as if he was simply going on some earthy journey.
His testimony was that "Christ could keep, even down to old age." Rev. Piggott conducted the services at his home on Sabbath evening. A large crowd attended the funeral.
We have known Mr. Johnson for a score of years as an honest and upright man. He was honest in his politics, having been a life-long democrat. He drew his inspiration from Thomas Jefferson who was elected in 1800 as a protest against aristocracy and class privileges, and as a young man lived through the administrations of Jackson, who declared "priveleges must come to an end." He had a good conscience and his end was peace.
