Biography of Luther Johnson
From HISTORY OF MADISON COUNTY
W. H. Beers [Chicago, 1883]
Page 1000
LUTHER JOHNSON, farmer, P. O. West Jefferson, is a descendant of the early pioneer, Michael Johnson, who came to Madison County in 1797, and a son of Jacob Johnson, who is mentioned elsewhere in these pages. Our subject was born in Jefferson Township January 16, 1826. He was raised a farmer boy, and enjoyed only the privileges of the common schools. His attention through life has been more or less given to farming, but for a period of twenty-one years he made a specialty of handling and shipping stock. He owns a good-sized farm, and now gives his entire attention to it, save the time taken up in the duties of his office, Justice of the Peace. He has been publicly connected with the township more or less for several years. He married Mary A. Thompson in 1844, and by her has had six children; four only survive.
