In 1898 he moved to Neillsville, purchased a wild forty, now the present home place, and developed in into a modern farm.

He also leaves five children: John and George of Neillsville; Carl of Fargo, N. D.; Hilda, Mrs. Charley Johnson of Chicago, and Cornel somewhere in the south. Also eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild. He has been a faithful member of the Norwegian Lutheran Church for more than thirty years.

He passed away at the Neillsville Hospital, July 25, his birthday anniversary, after much suffering and a lengthy illness.

Johnson a son-in-law, and two grandsons, Herman and Raymond Moen. The flowers girls were grandchildren: Jean, Alice and Beverly Moen, Ardyth Counsell and Marian Wildish.
