   Wallace W. Johnson, retired farmer and Civil War veteran of Derby, Sedgwick
county, Kansas, was born in Jefferson county, Ohio, on December 16, 1831. His
parents were William and Nancy (Pomfert) Johnson. In March, 1871, Mr. Johnson
came with his father to Sedgwick county, Kansas, where both preempted 160 acres
of land. The father's land was in Rockford township, Sedgwick county, while that
of Wallace W. was in Gypsum township. The latter did not stay in Gypsum township
long, as he sold his land and moved to Rockford township, where he lived till he
moved to Derby. Mr. Johnson enlisted in the spring of 1863 in Company I,
Forty-first Ohio Infantry, and served until the war closed. He was wounded while
in action at Reseca and New Hope Church. After the war, Mr. Johnson returned to
his Ohio home, where he remained until he came to Kansas, and has spent his life
in farming until a few years ago, but is now living retired in Derby. Mr.
Johnson has never married. He is a member of the G. A. R. post at Derby, a
Republican in politics and a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
