Sometimes called Arthur. Died about age 22, from the effects of the Civil War. Circa 1863 he was in the Enrolled Missouri Militia; circa 1865 he was a private in Co. K, commanded by Capt. James A. Price, of the 18th Regiment Missouri Infantry Volunteers under Madison Miller.
He married Luellen Kerns/Kerens 1 February 1863 in Farley, Missouri and they had one son, William Henry ("Willie") Johnson, who died as an infant.
One family story claims "he died as a result of wounds he suffered" in the Civil War; "he had been sent home from the front to recuperate but died while at home" and was subsequently listed as AWOL for many years until a nephew finally provided proof to the Veterans Administration that Amos had died at home on leave and had never been able to report back to his unit. Another family story says he "came home on sick leave from Rome, Georgia and died of exposure, resulting in tuberculosis" at Farley, Platte Co., Kansas (where his wife and/or her family were living?).
Amos was originally buried beside his mother in the Johnson family cemetery on the homestead near Waldron, about 15 miles north of Kansas City, Missouri. Family remains and gravemarkers, including his, were moved in 1968-69 and incorporated in one monument in the Monticello/Union Cemetery by Johnson family descendants.
