(Witness) Bio

I was born in 1918, son of Carl S. and Eleanor Weber Johnson, at Johnson Mill, on the farm of my grandfather, George William Johnson. A large portion of mychildhood was spent with my Grandfather, or Daddy, as I preferred to call him, and, so did most of the folks in the area. My father, Carl S., operated a Saw Mill that was portable. This was when steam was the source of power, and, as a result Dad put in long days. It took an hour or two to get proper boiler steam pressure in the morning, and, the procedure in reverse to prepare the boiler for leaving unattended at the end of the day. Daddy was a universal person, he was a carpenter, blacksmith and general repair man. I remember so vividly in the summer of 1923 or 24 that the Pitman rod bearing went out on the hay mower. I recall how the babbitt was heated in the forge, and, how with Daddy's instructions I held the torch to pre-heat the metal so the babbitt would flow when poured to make a new bearing in the Pitnam Rod.
