General Notes: Husband - John Crawford Johnson

Custer City, McKean Co, PA

He obtained a good public school education, and until 1861 remained with his father at the farm. On August 28, 1861, he enlisted in Company D, One Hundred and Fifth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers. He served with the Army of the Potomac during the peninsular campaign, fighting at Yorktown, Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, and all the seven days' fighting on the retreat from before Richmond, also Charles City, Cross Roads, Second Bull Run and Chantilly. He was honorably discharged for disability in February, 1863. He then returned home, where he assisted in recruiting men for the Fifty-seventh Regiment Pennsylvania National Guard, and in June, 1863, was elected first lieutenant and with the regiment was sent to Ohio to resist Morgan's invasion of that state, being present at the capture of that noted raider. He was discharged in September, 1863. In February, 1864, he assisted in recruiting a company for the One Hundred and Fifth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers. He next enlisted in Company C, Bendan's sharp-shooters, and was at the battle of the Wilderness, May 5, 1864. At the Plank Road he was shot through the right arm and shoulder. The bullet that inflicted the wound remained imbedded in the tissue beneath the shoulder blade, the rest of his life a troublesome reminder of those historic days. He received his final and honorable discharge from the United States service at Chestnut Hill Hospital, August 21, 1865, after active service of nearly four years.
After the war he returned home, and soon began operating in the Pennsylvania oil fields, a line of business he followed through the fields of Venango, Clarion and McKean, finally in 1882 settling at Custer City.
He was a Republican in politics, and a member of Bradford Post, No. 141, Grand Army of the Republic, of which he was senior vice-commander and surgeon.
