General Notes: Husband - Alfred Johnson
He and his brothers attended the township schools, and assisted on their father's farm. They also learned the use of blacksmith and carpentry tools and acquired a taste for mechanics and machinery. Alfred Johnson invented and patented a rifle and then, turning his attention to watchmaking and mending, finally established a silversmith shop at Jefferson, Greene County, Pennsylvania, and was a mechanic and civil engineer. He invented a dental plugger and made several other inventions that were patented.
In 1882 he and his brother Samuel C. Johnson started a machine shop at Uniontown under the name of Johnson Bros. In 1886 their brother, John L. Johnson, who had been engaged as dealer in agricultural implements, became a member of the firm which was thereafter known as Johnson Machine Company, the elder brothers attending to the mechanical, and the younger to the office work.
