Richland Township A-M


   RICHARD M. JOHNSON farmer, P.O. Quakertown, was born 
November 22, 1841, in Richland township.  Caspar Johnson was 
the original representative of the family.  He came to 
America from Germany in an early day.  Our subject's 
grandfather, also Caspar Johnson, died in 1825.  Milton, a 
son of this Caspar, was born in 1823 and married Evaline, 
daughter of Amos Edwards, of this township.  Richard M., the 
oldest son of this couple, married in 1869 Mary P. Strawn, 
daughter of Eli and Margaret Strawn, of this county.  They 
have four children: Henry S., Milton, Walter and Maurice.  
Mr. Johnson has lived on the farm he now occupies forty-five 
years.  He has held no political office, caring nothing for 
the empty honor. He is kindly disposed toward the Society of 
Friends, his wife being a member.  He has always been 
recognized as an honest, upright man and a useful citizen.
