Read More	John's son, who was my stepfather, Bill Johnson, provided this information: John's parents were Lutherans, and he was baptized in the Munterville Lutheran Church, in Wapello County, Iowa. John and his wife, Mary, met at the Buxton 18 Coal Mine Camp in Monroe County, where their fathers both worked and their families lived. Mary's family was of the Catholic faith, and John converted to Catholicism. They were married on August 6, 1918, in Melrose, Monroe County, Iowa. John also worked in the coal mine as a "Shot Blaster," also called the "Shot Firer," in the Buxton 18 Coal Mine. After the loose coal in the mine was cleaned out for the day, the miners would drill holds deep into the coal. The Shot Blaster would then put explosive powder into the holes, then primer and tamp it in. The next step was setting the charges, and as he left, he would light them. By the next morning, the dust had settled, and the miners would have loose coal. After John and Mary were married for awhile, Mary told him that she did not want him to work in the coal mines any longer as it was too dangerous. John went to a mechanic's school in Kansas City, and for the rest of his life, he was self-employed in Ottumwa. --------------- Obituary from "Ottumwa Daily Courier," Wednesday, May 28, 1941,Page 11: John F.
