RANSOM C. JOHNSON, attorney-at-law at Flint and a partner of A. C. Johnson, was
born in Mundy Township, Genesee County, and there passed his boyhood and youth,
attending first the common school and then the High School of Flint, where he
finished his literary course. He then engaged in the study of law with his
father and afterward read with George M. Walker for about two years, and during
that time also carried on the practice of his profession. It was on the 28th of
November, 1876, that our subject was admitted to the bar, and from that day to
this he has devoted himself thoroughly to the legal business. His office may be
found at No. 408 Saginaw Street, and there he carries on a regular law practice.
He also owns several farms in this county and in addition to this he has
extensive lands in the northern, part of the State. In connection with his
brother, James D., he owns a tract of one hundred and twenty acres in Mundy
Township, which is now well improved, and where fine horses and other live stock
of merit are raised.

  Ransom C. Johnson is a prominent member of the Agricultural Society of Genesee
County, and he is also identified with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows,
being Past Noble Grand in the Genesee Lodge, and has acted as Representative to
the Grand Lodge, where lie was placed as Chairman of various important
committees. His legal lore placed him at the head of the Committee on By-laws in
that body, and his general intelligence gave him other opportunities for
usefulness in connection with its deliberations. Mr. Johnson is an earnest and
consistent Republican and is a member of the City Board of Health, having served
two terms of two years each. Besides his work in Genesee County he has practiced
extensively in other counties and is known at the bar of almost every important
city in Michigan.
