     DR. FRANKLIN P. JOHNSON, M.D., who has been engaged in the practice of

University, from which he was graduated, with the degree of Doctor of Medicine 
in 1920. He served as interne at New Haven, Connecticut, and as resident 
physician in the Brady Urological Institute of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, in 
Baltimore, Maryland.

     In 1923 Dr. Johnson came to Portland and engaged in the practice of his 
profession, specializing in urology, in which he is recognized as an expert. 
He is a member of the medical staffs of the Good Samaritan Hospital and the

born in Virginia, and who graduated in nursing from Johns Hopkins Hospital 
Training School for Nurses. To them have been born two children, Lillian
