Xenia Daily Gazette December 5, 1949
  A 26-year old man became Greene County's twelfth traffic fatality of 1949 
Saturday afternoon when he lost control of his automobile on the Lower 
Bellbrook Pk. about 3:15 p.m. and was thrown from the car as it hurtled into a 
ditch, back across the road into another ditch and finally righted itself on 
the highway again.
  The victim was Kenneth Windburn Johnson, Dayton, R.R. 8, (Kemp Rd.), a job-
setter at the National Cash Register Co., Dayton.  He suffered a skull 
fracture, crushed chest and dislocation of the right hip.  His head was 
crushed.  Coroner H.C. Schick ruled death was accidental.
  Sheriff's deputies said Mr. Johnson was apparently traveling at a high rate 
of speed about five miles west of Xenia and lost control of the car on a 
curve.  The body was found thirty feet from the auto.
  Born at Bellbrook July 30, 1923, he was the son of Henry and Ethel Whitacre 
Johnson.  He married Mary Gerspacher, May 14, 1943.  He was a member of the 
Ferry Church of Christ.
  He is survived by his widow, his parents, a son, Kenneth Richard, a daughter, 
Linda Darlene, and a sister, Mrs. Frances Gerlach, Oak ridge, Tenn.
