Notes for Harry Clifford Johnson

According to Harry's son Laclede, Harry and his father had an argument. He left home after he finished school and never saw his family again.

 

At the call to arms for the Civil War Harry enlisted as a Private on 15 Aug 1862 and mustered in 20 Sept 1862 in the Grand Army of the Republic, Company G, 112th Illinois Infantry. At the time his residence was listed as Weatherfield, IL. He served the entire war, being first under fire at Monticello, KY in the Spring of 1863. The Company raided over the mountains into East TN, returning in July to pursue and capture 500 Confederates at Danville. Many bloody campaigns in TN were culminated by the battle for Nashville. The Company was transferred to NC for the assault on Fort Anderson. Harry was mustered out on 20 June 1865 at Greensboro, NC and the Company returned to Chicago. At the time of discharge Harry had not been paid since 31 Aug 1864. Harry applied for a pension on 14 Aug 1890 (App. #863941, Cert. #970988).

Obituary, Pleasanton Observer Enterprise, 6 March 1913:

"Eulogy, Prescott, Kans., Feb 1913. It is fitting that I should say something as I was intimately acquainted and closely associate with Harry C. Johnson who passed out of life Feb. 13, 1913 at Kansas City, being there for treatment. He was an honored citizen, a devoted Christian, a loving husband, a kind and tender father, highly respected by all in the community. He was a man of perseverance and integrity; he crowned man-hood with the dignity of honor and the spirit of loyalty. The ineffable kindness of his smiles and the courtesy of his manner one could never forget. He was honest because it was his nature; he was congenial and found pleasure in making others happy.

He was an advocate of peace in its broadest significance; he was optimistic - it was the most conspicuous trait in his combination. He was at all times hopeful and lived on the sunny side. He had a chance to test his patriotism when he was a young man. He loved his country and was a soldier in the Civil war. He kissed his young wife and went to the field of battle leaving her to mourn his absence, while he would defend his country's flag. When the war ended he returned to again meet his companion in hopes of remaining. He at once planned a prosperous life and succeeded admirably. Politically he was a true republican. He was a devouted member of the M. E. Church, was a faithful attendant and was liberal with money in its support.

He was responsive to the wants of the poor. He owned a beautiful residence in Prescott where he lived several years and was happy in his home. As he was afflicted it was considered an operation was necessary. With a manly quality of courage and in the tenderness of his heart, he bade us a very affectionate farewell. In a few days he was returned, prepared for burial. We gathered around the casket; the once smiling face was now cold in death. He had fought a good fight; he had finished his course; he had kept the faith and was worthy of the crown. The town and church have lost one of the best citizens.

A. L. Johnson"

"Susan C. Todd was born in Carroll county, Maryland March 8, 1833 and departed this life at her home in Prescott Sept. 12, 1920, aged 77 years, 6 months and 4 days. She removed with her parents to Lafayette, Illinois in her girlhood, and was there united in marriage to Harry C. Johnson Sept. 12, 1861. To his union were born three sons and four daughters.

Her husband and two daughters had preceeded her to heaven, leaving three sons, Lewis Johnson, of Centerville, Clede Johnson, of Henyetta, Oklahoma, and Ernest Johnson of Prescott, and two daughters, Mrs. Essie Carpenter, of Denver, Colorado and Mrs. Gladys Johnson of Garland, Kansas; one brother, B. M. Todd, of Edmond, Okla; two sisters, Mrs. Margaret Thompson of LaFayette, Ill, and Martha Crowl of Prescott, Kansas, 21 grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn her departure.

She was converted and united with the M. E. church in girlhood, and was one of the most loyal, earnest christians to her last concious hour.

Her husband answered the call of the nation in the dark hours of the civil war, and she loyally sent him forth to its service while she remained at home with her little child to pray and keep the home fire burning.

A quater of a century ago she came with her husband and family to the homestead north of Prescott, and ten years ago, on account of the failing health of her husband, they removed to the little home in Prescott where, on the Sabbath evening just as the chruch bells were ringing for the everning service, she went forth to answer the call to the higher service in heaven.

A devoted, loving wife and mother, a loyal friend, a neighbor, always busy and cheerful, Earth is poorer and heaven is richer by her departure.

The funeral services were held at the M.E. church, Sept 16th, and were conducted by her pastor, R. J. W. Mosslander, assisted by the choir. Her body was laid to rest beside her husband in the Prescott cemetery."
