Son of Rev. H.E. Johnson
His wife was Anna Josephine Day (1863-1889), daughter of Absalom & Nancy Ann Rhoades Day, (married 11 Aug 1886 in Oregon City) and Hezekiah was the father of Violet Olive and Anna Day Johnson (1888-1889)
"Hezekiah was the nephew of Jasper Johnson, and the son of pioneer minister, Hezekiah Johnson. His father came across the Oregon Trail in 1845, and settled near Molalla, OR. Hezekiah was born in Oregon City in1849, was elected Clackamas County Surveyor for 1886-88and 1915-20, and worked as deputy county surveyor many times in between. He was a U. S. Deputy Surveyor in Idaho on his own in 1884, received a Joint Contract in Idaho with Ernest Rands from Oregon City in 1896, and another in Idaho with Harold Rands in 1897.
"Hezekiah also was elected Clackamas County Clerk 1888-1892. He was awarded a Joint Contract in 1895 with Ernest Rands East of Salem, where they shared the work. In 1903 Hezekiah contracted for 15 townships within the Spokane Indian Reservation, with his success due to being the low bid, and against there commendations of the Surveyor General, who was in favor of Alfred Ruth and Elmer Lenfest. His subdivisions of T29N R40E disclosed a previous error by Benson Surveyor, James Hull, of 2000 feet in the meanders of Chemokane Creek, which is the Eastern boundary of the Reservation. He needed to do a retracement of the North Boundary of the Reservation in 1905, and used Stephen Hungate, an experienced Deputy Surveyor, as compassman. James was a transit man for a State Land Plat in 1897, an incorporator of a railroad in Alaska in 1905, and the assistant city engineer for Seattle from 1897-07. He resigned in 1907 two weeks before taking a position with the Rainier Development Company who would win the bid to move 6,000,000 yards of earth on the Dennyre grade at a premium price. James was offered 25% interest in the firm, to be paid out of profits for the project. Once the contract was awarded, they assigned the earth workto another firm for a $300,000 profit on that item. Since James was a partner with Reginald Thomson in Hoosier Investment Corporation at the time, the newspapers made a semi-scandal at the time.
"He received another Joint Contract with John David in 1898 for four townships in Malheur County, and they both signed all the oaths. He had a Joint Contract in 1899with Hugh Smyth in Malheur County for seven townships. Hezekiah surveyed one of the townships, and the rest were surveyed by both. After a Contract on his own in 1900 near Roseburg, he was awarded a Joint Contract again with Rands in the very Southeastern corner of the state. They shared the work.
