Cancer of the stomach caused the death of Fred Johnson, another one of the sterling pioneers of Garden county. He came to this county about thirty-five years ago, when it was still a part of old Cheyenne county, and in developing his farm property he encountered his full share of the burdens and trials that marked the careers of all pioneers in this section of the state. Success crowned his efforts and before death was a citizen who commanded high regard of the people of the county in which he long maintained his home. Fred Johnson was born in Germany, December 19, 1855, and died at his home in park precinct, Garden county, Nebraska, April 18, 1922. He was a lad of about twelve years at the time his family immigrated to America. Our subject was reared and educated in the state of Wisconsin, where his parents established their home in 1867. He was a son of Henry and Mary (Russ) Johnson, who left their native land in 1967, as above noted, and came to the United States. They settled in Greenfield township, Milwaukee county, Wisconsin, where the father reclaimed and developed a good farm, and they passed the remainder of their lives there; the father died at the age of 73 and the mother at the age of 75 years. Mr. Johnson made good use of the advantages afforded in the public schools of the Badger state, and as a youth of seventeen years made his way to Michigan City, Indiana, where for seven years he was employed in that now gigantic railroad car factory of the Haskell & Barker company, for about eighteen months thereafter, Mr. Johnson was employed in gas factory at Michigan City, and later he was for five years an employee in the chair factory of Ford & Johnson which still is one of the important furniture manufacturing concerns of the country. In 1885, our subject came to that part of old Cheyenne county, Nebraska that now comprises Garden county and took up a homestead, sev [sic] miles southwest of the present town of Lewellen. He instituted the improvement of his claim, to which he proved title in due course, and with the passing years he proved successful in his agricultural and livestock operations. He developed one of the model farms of the county, and gave his personal supervision to the same besides which he has done a prosperous business in the raising of cattle and houses. He was a helpful force in community advancement, a republican in politics, affiliated with the Modern Woodmen of America, and a communicant of the Lutheran church. On September 16, 1880, Mr. Johnson was married to Miss Anna Lambke, of Michigan City, Indiana, in which state she was born and reared. To this union were born eight children, viz: Mrs. Florence [Wade] Wilson resides at Lewellen and is the mother of three sons; Elmer likewise resides at Lewellen; Mrs. Emma Emerson, of Lewellen, has three children; Archie has returned to Garden county after loyal service with the One Hundred and Ninth Engineers during the World War; Mrs. Edmona Delatour, of Lewellen, has three children, and Harry, Gordon and Fred, Jr. remain at home. These together with the wife are left to mourn their loss. Funeral services were conducted Saturday afternoon, April 15, by Rev. Helms, former pastor of the Lutheran church at Lewellen, and interment made in Ash Hollow cemetery. The News joins the many friends of the bereaved family in extending heartfelt sympathy for them.
