that made the trip from Manchester 
across the plains to the Pacific. The 
other three were Alfred Annable, J. 
T. Stanley and Robert Seaver. They 
left Manchester on March 25th and 
it was May 14 before they had reach- 
ed the Missouri river and made pre- 
parations for the long march across 
the plains by pack train. Every foot 
of the hundreds of miles was tra- 
versed on foot. Their way was beset 
by dangers from hostile Indians that 
everywhere threaded the trails, 
from stampeding herds of buffalo 
and lack of water on barren wastes. 
Salt Lake City was reached in early 
fall. They finally reached Sacremen- 
to, Cal., on Sept. 12. 
Mr. Johnson was a man of quiet 
disposition and was highly respected 
in the community. He has enjoyed 
remarkably good health for one of 
his years, and retained all his facul- 
ties. To see him and chat with him 
one could easily be lead to think he 
was a man nearer 70 than 90. He 
began to fail in health as far back 
as last October, but he had taken to 
his bed only a fortnight before the 
end came. ' 
He: was twice married, his first 
wife being Lucy J. Edwards of this 
town, who died Aug. 27, 1866. In 
1870 he married Abbie Bearse of 
Gloucester who died the same year. 
He is survived by a son, Frank John- 
son of Lynn, and two 
Miss Annie E. H. and Miss Lucey J. 
Johnson, both of this town, the latter 
the assistant postmaster. He leaves 
a brother, William, who was 93 years 
old last June. A sister, a year 
younger that him, died a year ago. 
Funeral services were held Monday 
at 2 o’elock from his late home on 
Bridge street, interment being in the 
family lot in Union cemetery. Rev. 
L. H. Ruge officiated at the funeral.
