Johnson Dear Dr. Taylor: I am writing you in regard to my father-in-law, Mr. James Kenneth Johnson, better known in Bradley County as J. K. Johnson, who died July 17, 1940, at his home in the Eureka community after a nine-day illness from a stroke of paralysis, at the age of 81 years, three months and three days. He was born April 14, 1859, in Bradley County and, as he always expressed it, He was born again on his eighteenth birthday in his mother's home in the Birchwood community under the influence of Rev. Tate Howard. Mr Johnson delighted in telling his Christian experience, how real it was to him. He never doubted his spiritual birth, and I feel sure he is truly "Asleep in Jesus" as the epitaph on his marker says. He was one of the strongest Baptists I have ever known, a mighty defender of "The faith once for all delivered to the Saints" a firm believer in church discipline. He was frequently misunderstood on account of his strong convictions, but he never wavered in his faith and hope in Jesus. His funeral was conducted in the Candies Creek Baptist Church, of which he was a member, by a former pastor Rev. Will Shamblin, assisted by E. S. Gregg. The building did not begin to accommodate the large crowd present. Mr Johnson was the "Village Blacksmith" in the Eureka community for 47 years, his father being a blacksmith at Birchwood, and his son Clifford Johnson (my husband) has been in the same business in Charleston, Tenn. 24 years together with our son, R. C. Jr. He was also a farmer and deacon in the church for many years. Mr Johnson was twice married, first to Miss Elizabeth Shipley. To this union were born four children, three of whom survive, Mrs. Wylev Mowery, Mrs. Stella Ross, and Clifford Johnson, one daughter, Mrs. W. E. Dillard preceded him in death eight years ago. There are also eight grandchildren who survive him. His first wife died in 1897. In 1902 he married Miss Mattie Snyder, who died in 1920.
