According to his daughter Iola (Johnson) Baxter, Harold "Harry" William Johnson died in a car wreck sometime between 1921 or 1923, possibly in a state beginning with a vowel. This had been told to them by a member of the Turek family in Nahma who sent word to his wife then living in Ohio. Aunt Barbara said that Grandma told her that Harry had gone to Canada.

This has all been proven to be incorrect! After he left his first wife and children in Nahma, Michigan, and his wife filed for divorce, he changed his name to Morris J. Mahoney and had another family in Minnesota. Because he also treated his second wife cruelly, she left him. He as Morris J. Mahoney was living as late as the 1930 census in Montana. It is currently unknown what happened to him after 1930.

His parents and siblings had no idea what had happened to him. One niece said that in old age, his mother, Anna Sophia Johansdotter, would sit on her bed, rocking back and forth, crying, and saying, "Where is Harry? Why won't he come and visit me?"
