DESCRIPTION:

This cemetery is large and the graves are numerous, but only the ones listed 
below have tombstones.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

The following inscriptions were taken from stones in the Johnson Cemetery:

Medium sized upright stone:

Martha Johnson
Born 1825
Died 1859
Blessed are they that put their trust in God.


Medium sized stone inscribed:

Narcissa M. Fraysier
Born May 9, 1847
Departed this life Aug. 22, 1896
Asleep in Jesus


Medium sized stone inscribed:

Mary B. Johnson
Born 1808
Died 1864
The pure in heart rest in peace.


Medium sized upright stone inscribed:

Alexander Johnson
Born 1804
Died 1878
God be merciful to the dead.

This cemetery is probably older than the date of the oldest inscription listed.  
A brick taken from the old house that stood near by, bears the date 1737, so it 
is quite possible that some of the graves are very old.
