**********************************************************************

John W. Johnson is the efficient Secretary and Treasurer of the St.
Joseph Steam Printing Company, and was born in Highland County, Ohio,
March 9, 1842.  He received his education in his native place, and 
was reared with a mercantile experience.  He commenced as a clerk in
his father's store, and after arriving at manhood, engaged in business
on his own account.  In September, 1869, he decided to avail himself
of the wider field of the West for his operations and selected St.
Joseph and formed a partnership with Captain f. M. Posegate, under 
the firm title Posegate & Johnson.  After a short time he sold his
interest and engaged in the mercantile business at Lathrop, Clinton
County, Missouri, with satisfactory results.  He sold out his busi-
ness here during the year, and once more returned to St. Joseph and
assisted in organizing the St. Joseph Steam Printing Company, and
has been its Secretary and Treasurer from its organization, a fact
that is very complimentary to him for the manner in which he has dis-
charged his duties.  He has been twice married, first in September,
1863, to Miss Annie M. McClure, of Ohio.  She died in 1868, leaving
one daughter, Sallie.  His second marriage occurred in 1871, to Miss
Annie E. Milner, a native of Highland County, Ohio.  Their family,
by this union, consists of one son, Ralph.
