Mr. Johnson's first name was given as Edward in a biographical article by his son, but as Edwin on his death certificate. At 23, E.W. Johnson was a deputy sheriff at Arkadelphia, Arkansas. In 1880, he went to Texas and became a deputy Sheriff in Clay County under Sheriff Cooper Wright. E.W. Johnson was active in suppressing fence cutting in the 1880s.
