John Johnson, farmer, P. O. Morris, was born in Norway in 1806, son of John 
and Sarah (Benson) Johnson. His father, who was a farmer, was born in Norway, 
and died there in 1849. Sarah, his mother, was born in Norway in 1873, and 
died in 1879. Our subject availed himself of such educational privileges as 
were at hand and worked at farming while in Norway. He there married his first 
wife, Gustie Nutson, who died before he came to this country. By here he had 
two children - Sarah, deceased; and John, who still survives. He next married 
Annie Larson, native of Norway, born in 1807. Her parents, Lewis and Tena 
Larson, were also natives of Norway. As a result of this second union, there 
are four children - Lewis, Gostey, Tena and John. Since his residence in this 
country, Mr. Johnson has continued his occupation of farming. He is a 
Republican, and a member of the Lutheran Church.
