| 説明 | Company H, 73rd Illinoiis InfantryThis is what William Cutler wrote about this gentleman:G. Y. JOHNSON, farmer and stock raiser, Section 6, Township 3, Range 17, P. O. Willis, was born in Pike County, Ill., in 1841, and lived in his native State until his twentieth year, when he entered the Union army as a member of Company H, Seventy-third Regiment Illinois Volunteer Infantry, being enrolled at Springfield, Ill., in June, 1862, and discharged in June, 1865, at Nashville, Tenn. He participated in the battles of Perryville, Stone River, Chickamauga, Atlanta, Franklin, Spring Hill, Nashville and numerous minor engagements. Mr. Johnson was wounded thrice while in the service and was a brave and faithful soldier. He entered the service as a private and was discharged as Orderly Sergeant of his company. After his discharge he returned to his Illinois home where he resided until April, 1869, when he became a resident of Kansas, locating on his farm in Mission Township, Brown County, where he has resided since. He is a member of Hiawatha Post No. 130, G. A. R. He was married in 1869, in Vinton, Iowa, to Miss Kitty Haines, a native of Centre County, Pa. They have one child, a daughter, whose name is Gracie. Avondale, the home and 325-acre stock farm of Mr. Johnson, is handsomely located on Wolf River, eight miles south of Hiawatha, and is one of the most valuable stock farms in the county. He has 100 acres of woodland which affords fine range and shelter for stock, an abundance of clear running water, thirty acres in clover and timothy and grows 8,000 to 10,000 bushels of corn which he feeds to the four or five car loads of steers and pigs annually sold from the farm. In addition to cultivating his own land he also farms 100 acres of rented land. The attraction of the estate is the Avondale herd of forty thoroughbred Short-horns, which Mr. Johnson has been breeding with much care and is composed of White Rose, Arabella, Phyllis, Rose of Sharon and other popular families. At the head of the herd is the superb Young Mary bull, Parole, which, for superior individual traits, is probably the finest animal ever brought into the county. There are some very handsome cows and heifers in the herd, which altogether is an honor to the breeder and to Brown County. Mr. Johnson is not only a spirited and intelligent breeder, but takes great interest in the advancement of general husbandry and is one of the public spirited representative men of the county. |
