WILLIAM JOHNSON, a prominent citizen of Polk Township, is a native of
Kentucky, where he was born December 20, 1822, and is the third in a
family of six children born to William and Mary (Alvis) Johnson, who were
natives respectively of Kentucky and Virginia, and came to this State in
the year 1832, and settled near where our subject now resides.  William,
Jr., remained at home and assisted his parents on the farm until he
attained the age of twenty-five years, receiving a limited education in
the subscription schools of his day.  November 11, 1847, his marriage with
Elizabeth Elrod was solemnized, and to their union eight children were
born, of which these five are now living:  Sarah J., now Mrs. William
Wells; Mary I., wife of N. H. Gray; Luanna E., consort of A. J. Brock;
John W., unmarried, and Elizabeth C., now Mrs. Dennis McKinley.  April 5,
1863, Mr. Johnson suffered the bereavement of losing his beloved wife. 
December 28, 1865, his nuptials with Mary A. (Wells) Baggerly) were
celebrated.  Our subject's occupation has always been farming, and he has
been quite successful in that pursuit.  He now owns 410 acres, the greater
part of which is yet in timber.  Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are members of the
Christian Church.  In politics he has been a life-long Democrat.
