Winifred Grace Beatrice "Winnie" Johnson was the daughter of John A. Johnson and Elizabeth McInturff. She was born in LaClede Co, Mo. maybe in the Drynob area. Her mother may have been part Cherokee Indian. Her granddaughter, Eva Bea Lindesmith Wood, said that Winnie was born in Laclede Co, Mo, but on the 1900 census all 3 of Winnie's grown children said their mother was born in Iowa.
Winnie was 14 when she married Myron Pease in 1875 (maybe in Birch Tree, Shannon Co, Mo).
In 1880 they were in Douglas County, Mo. in Clinton twp.
Myron and Winnie lived in Old Horton, Mo. (north of West Plains) where he had a saw mill and she ran a boarding house. The railroad built a spur to his lumber mill at Old Horton because he had such a large volume of business. All of their 7 children were born there.
Winnie died in 1889, probably as the result of an epidemic there, sometime between the deaths of her infant twins Norma & Nola who died in Jan. & April, 1889. Winnie was buried in an unmarked grave in the old Horton cemetery near the location of their mill. (A stone has since been placed there in the probable location of her grave by her granddaughter Eva Bea Lindesmith Wood.) She left 3 children: Walter (14), Myrtle (8), and Russell (2).
