Author: Hardin & Willard

Johnson, Joseph A., was born at Fort Herkimer, N.Y., September 27, 1836, and 
was connected with the firm of E. Remington & Son's for thirty-four years, and 
with the exception of the first few years was a contractor.  Since the 
collapse of that firm he has been engaged in the general insurance business 
and represents nineteen of the best companies in the world.  Mr. Johnson is 
one of the most prominent Masons in the State, having held nearly all the 
offices in the various Masonic bodies, and is past grand commander of Knights 
Templar in the state of New York.  He married, in 1858, Catharine M. Wildey, 
and has one son, Edmund A. Johnson, who is associated with him in business, 
and one daughter, who is the wife of M. Jesse Brayton, ex-county clerk of 
Oneida county.
