General Notes: Husband - Daniel Johnston

---

He received a common school education, attending the schools at the foot of the mountain and also in Waynesboro, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, being eight years old when his parents moved into the town. He learned the trades of coopering and brickmaking from his father, with whom he worked until 1856. He then began working for himself, going through the country making kilns of brick for different parties who wanted to build. His first kiln was burned for David Strite, in Antrim township, in 1856. In the fall of that year he fell ill with typhoid fever, and following that serious sickness was taken with malaria, or, as it was denominated in those days, the "ague." He was ill all that winter and into the next summer, only those who have experienced a like sickness being able to realize its seriousness. In the summer of 1857 he removed to a farm owned by his father, three miles west of Waynesboro, where he remained for one year, returning then to Waynesboro, where he resumed brickmaking with his father. There he continued in business for two years, and then made another trip through the country making brick, and followed the same line until 1871, when he moved back to town, continuing to make brick. In 1879 he purchased a property, on South Potomac avenue, and engaged there in brick manufacture for twenty years, retiring from active business in the spring of 1899, when he was succeeded by his son, W. H. Johnston. In 1882 he erected a large and handsome residence on South Potomac avenue, which was one of the most commodious and comfortable homes in Waynesboro. Mr. Johnston was a very successful business man and was possessed of large means, owning valuable rentable property in the city. He was prominent in local affairs, and served two one-year terms and one three-year term in the borough council. He was a member of that body when the improvements were made which gave Waynesboro her good and substantial streets. On numerous occasions he was called upon, as a representative man, to serve on various boards. In politics he was a Democrat and stood high in his party's councils. Fraternally he belonged to George Washington Lodge, No. 487, Knights of Pythias, being one of the charter members of the lodge and the second oldest member, and was the first master of the exchequer, holding that honorable office for sixteen years.
