Obituary from the “Churubusco Truth”

This community was startled by the sudden and almost wholly unexpected death of JAMES M. JOHNSON, Thursday of last week. Mr. Johnson got up before 6 o’clock on the above morning and seemed to be enjoying his usual good health and having business with Trustee Compton, decided to call on him before breakfast, as they only resided a few hundred yards apart. Upon his arrival at the home of Mr. Compton, he was invited into the house and it was while sitting by the fireside that he fell over prostrated. As quickly as possible Trustee Compton and wife were at his side and spoke to him, but he did not answer, and his heart had ceased to beat.

James Johnson was born in Knox Co., Ohio, November 21, 1831, died February 1^st, 1900, aged 68 years, 2 months and 10 days.

In the fall of 1851 he emigrated from Ohio to Iowa and in the spring of 1852 came to Allen Co., Ind. with his parents. He remained in Allen County until 1863 when he moved to Whitley County, and in the spring of 1864 settled on the present home farm. On December 16, 1860 he was united in marriage to Hannah M. Oaks. To this union were given 9 children, 6 girls and 3 boys. These children are all living except one boy, Samuel, who died years ago. He united with the M.E. Church at Churubusco, February 25^th, 1894 under the pastorate of Rev. B. S. Hollopeter and was received into full membership, August 5^th of the same year by Rev. J. M. Haines and remained a member of the same until his death.

Funeral services were held at Eel River, Sunday February 4^th at 11 a.m. by Charles Tinkham.

(The funeral cost for James M. Johnson in 1900 were $45.00)

DAVID JOHNSTON (JOHNSON)

David Johnston, For Many YEARS, Resident of Fort Wayne, Dies In Eel River Township; Rites Sunday

DAVID JOHNSTON, age 97, pioneer resident of Eel river Township, Allen County, and for many years a resident of Fort Wayne, died of paralysis Thursday at 4:30 p.m. at home of a son, WILL JOHNSTON, of Eel River Township. He suffered a stroke Monday.

Mr. Johnson is believed to have been one on the first white babies born in Eel River Township, on August 3, 1836, a son of MR. and MRS. JOHN R. JOHNSTON. His father and two of his father’s brothers, JOSEPH and DAVID JOHNSTON, are credited with having been among the first white men to settle on farmland of Allen County. They claimed farms in Eel River Township 100 years ago.

The deceased had lived at 2914 Abbott Street, this city, until the death of his second wife, MRS. JANE SIEGMUND JOHNSTON, last August 20. He then went to make his home with the son. His wife was credited with having been instrumental in bringing about the arrest of Jeff Davis, president of the Confederate States, by Union troops the presence near her home of a suspicious character, who was found, upon capture, to be Davis.

FUNERAL SERVICES SUNDAY

Funeral services for Mr. Johnston will be held Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Eel River Baptist Church with Rev. E.J. Hults, pastor of the Churubusco M. E. Circuit, officiating. Burial will be in Eel River Cemetery.

Five generations survive the aged man. Surviving are two sons, JOHN, of this city, and WILL, of Eel River Township; three daughters, MRS. DANIEL WINEBRENNER, of Fort Wayne, MRS. ALMEDA ARNOLD, of Churubusco, and MRS. CLARK SIBLE, of Eel River Township, a step-daughter, MRS. EMMA MILLER, of Churubusco; a brother, W.H. JOHNSTON, of Fort Wayne; 12 grandchildren and several great-great-grandchildren, and great-great-great grandchildren. A sister died in Florida last January 8 at the age of 95.

REARED IN A LOG CABIN

Mr. Johnson was born and reared in a log cabin in Eel River Township, on Johnston Road about two miles east of what is now State Road No. 2. He attended a log school known as the old Hickory School, which was the only school in the territory. Mr. Johnston recalled in an interview with a News-Sentinel reporter in 1931 how the pupils sat on split logs and wrote on boards on the wall.

Mr. Johnston taught school as a young man for five “quarters” in log schools across the line in Whitley County, a “quarter” being a winter term of three months. He drove oxen teams to Fort Wayne during the early days.

At the time of his marriage in 1857, Mr. Johnston built a log cabin for his bride and they lived in the pioneer home about 20 years. His first wife died in 1911.

He moved from Eel River Township in 1906 to Churubusco and lived there until coming to Fort Wayne in June 1913 at the time of his marriage to Jane Siegmund. They lived at 2914 Abbott Street until her death.
