  D. F. JOHNSON, tile manufacturer, Robinson, was born November 6, 1842, in
Champaign County, Ohio. He is a son of John Johnson, born 1780, in Kentucky. He
is a machinist by occupation, and is considered one of the pioneers of Champaign
County. He is of a long-lived race, as he is still living, having reached the
almost incredible age of one hundred and two years. He is a grand old man and
does not seem to mind his age much. He was married to Elizabeth Dodson, who was
born in Pennsylvania, but who died in Ohio. She is the mother of eleven
children; nine of them are now living. Mr. Johnson was educated in Ohio, where
he became a machinist. He was married there, January 7, 1864, to Mary Ann
Lochard, born February 22, 1846. She is the daughter of Isaac and Isabelle
(Bothal) Lochard, who came from the East. She is the mother of three
children-Isaac Newton, born August 17, 1865; Lily May, born July 30, 1863; and
T. T., born October 25, 1874. Mr. Johnson has filled township offices in Ohio.
He came to Crawford County, Ill., in the fall of 1870, and has run machinery and
farmed of late years. He has made tile and run a saw mill. He is a very
industrious man; has been identified with the Democratic party, and in 1868 he
joined the Odd Fellows fraternity, in Ohio.
