MARTIN JOHNSON was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Elias Johnson of Clara Township. He was
born on October 25, 1895. On July 1, 1918 he entered the service and became a member
of the Motor Corps at the University. He remained there until August 28, 1918 when
he was transferred to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. A few days later he was ordered to
Camp Mills, N. Y., where he remained about a week before going abroad. Private
Johnson arrived overseas on October 9, 1918. He did not get into any battles, but
was sent to Rittendorf, Germany with the Army of Occupation. On April 24, 1918 he
was accidentally shot by the discharge of a pistol. He was laid to rest in a
cemetery at Freie, Germany. Private Johnson spent his whole life on the farm,
assisting his parents until he entered the service.
