General Notes: Husband - Samuel Cover 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. Samuel C. Johnson purchased an iron lathe and learned its use. In 1882 he and his brother Alfred 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.
