General Notes: Husband - Joseph Bradford Johnson
He had just completed his sophomore year at Jefferson College when, in 1862, he enlisted for service in the Civil War, entering Co. G, 140th Pa. Vol. Inf., and was attached to the Army of the Potomac. He participated in the battles of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, and in October, 1863, was transferred to the Signal Corps, in which division he served until he was captured by the Confederates, Oct. 28, 1864. The next three months and ten days of his life were passed most unpleasantly in the notorious Libby Prison, where he shared the hardships and sufferings of his unfortunate comrades who were confined there. Although paroled Jan. 22, 1865, he was unable to leave on account of ice in the river, and was thus compelled to remain until Feb. 5, 1865. He was then taken to Annapolis, Maryland, where he was given a furlough of 30 days. On its expiration he returned to the front, but by that time Gen. Lee had surrendered and the war was virtually at an end. He was honorably discharged at Washington City. He had escaped death and wounds, but during his imprisonment he contracted scurvy, which gave him trouble for a long time. Mr. Johnson resumed his old occupations after he returned home and followed farming until 1900, purchasing his grandfather's farm half a mile above Houston, Washington County, Pennsylvania. This farm he bought from William Quail, who had purchased it from Jefferson Patton, who had secured it from Mr. Johnson's grandfather.
He was a member of Chapter No. 1, of the Union Veteran Legion, at Pittsburgh. He was interested in several business enterprises and was a director of the Citizens' Trust Company, of Canonsburg. For many years he was united with the Central Presbyterian Church and served as one of its elders. His opinions on public questions made him a strong supporter of the Republican party.
