JOHNSON, Turner - Turner Johnson, one of the oldest settlers in this end of the county, died Sunday morning at his home two miles south of Rogers. Mr. Johnson was nearly eighty years of age and had resided on his farm south of town since before the war. There are two hundred acres in the place, the greater portion of which has never been cleared and still retains the native timber. Mr. Johnson would never sell an acre of the farm and was unable to improve it. Another noticeable feature in this day of the world was the fact that he always wore homemade clothes made from wool carded and spun by his wife and allowed his hair to grow down on his shoulders. He is survived by his wife and several grandchildren, all of their children being dead. In spite of his many peculiarities Mr. Johnson was held in the highest esteem by his friends and neighbors and the editor has heard only the kindest words from them. Honest as they make them, a trustworthy friend, a kind and loving husband, he was like a memory of days long past. The good old times were good enough for him and he never cared to outgrow them.
