Mr. Johnson is a son of Barton and Susannah (nee Horne) Johnson, both
natives of Tennessee.  The family moved to Greene County, this State,
in 1839, where William D. was born, April 19th, 1850.  He was reared on
the farm and educated in the common schools, and for some time followed
the vocation of farming himself.  In 1882, however, he engaged in the
mercantile business at Bois D'Arc, as a member of the firm of Hoyal,
Redfearn & Johnson, one of the livliest business houses in the county.
Mr. Johnson was married September 12, 1870, to Miss Eliza, daughter of
Jefferson and Hannah Grantham, of Greene County.  They have had six
children, five of whom survive at this writing, named: Estella V.,
James C., William F., Maggie M., and Pearia.  Mr. Johnson is a live
young business man, and has the entire confidence of his neighbors and
patrons.
