Howard Johnson Jr. of Franklin; a daughter, Miss Judith Anne Johnson, and a 
brother, W. Russell Johnson both of Windsor, and a grandson.

   A funeral service was held Monday at 3 p.m. in Windsor Baptist Church by 
the Rev. Harold L. Rumfelt, the Rev. W.A. Grissom and the Rev. Edward C. 
Thornton of Beaver Dam Baptist Church.  The body was at Baker Funeral Home.
