JOHNSON, ARTHUR ****************************************************************** Obituary - Charles A. Johnson The Post-Register Idaho Falls, Idaho February 8, 1927 Page 1 Death of C. A. Johnson Pioneer Farmer and Stockman of This vicinity Died Sunday Morning C. A. Johnson, a well known resident of this city, passed away at his home Sunday morning at the age of 80 years. Funeral services will be held from the Swedish Mission church on Sixth street Wednesday at 2:30, the Rev. G. T. Peterson officiating. The deceased leaves four sons and two daughters. They are: Harvey A., a resident of Florida; Edward, of Holbrook, Arizona; Nathan A., of this city; Arthur of Nampa, and Mrs. Mamie Melquist and Mrs. Mildred Eastburg of this city. There are 24 grandchildren. Mrs. Johnson passed away in 1919. Mr. Johnson was born in Smoland, Sweden. He came to America when quite a young man, poor in purse though strong in energy and determination, and he accomplished that which he set out to do, he made good. He first settled in Nebraska. Thirty-three years ago he came to Idaho and settled on a farm three miles north of the city. He remained on this farm until about 15 years ago when he retired and came into the city and built a- - - street. The farm where he first took possession was a raw tract of sagebrush comprising 240 acres. By hard work he made out of it a substantial home, with well regulated fields producing a maximum of crops, and this he leaves as a monument to his thrift and sturdy character. As a pioneer he passed through the hardships and sufferings common to those who sought to carve from the raw and undeveloped west an heritage from the raw and undeveloped west. JOHNSON, CHARLES AUGUST ****************************************************************** Edward Arnold Johnson History of Idaho 1914 Page 1058 Ed. A. Johnson. One of the ablest civil engineers of Idaho is Ed. A. Johnson, of Boise. Though a young man in the early thirties, he has already acquired some of those distinctions of work and positions which mark him out among those who are rising to success. Mr Johnson has had a varied career both in public service and in his profession. He belongs to a family which has been identified with Idaho since 1892. He was born at Oakland, Nebraska, December 12, 1879, and was the second of six children born to Charles A. and Margaret (Olson) Johnson. His father, a native of Sweden, came to America in young manhood, locating first at Omaha, where he worked at day labor, then became a homesteader at Oakland, and on moving to Idaho in 1892 engaged in farming near Idaho Falls, where he is still active in farming and good citizenship at the age of sixty-one. The mother, who is now fifty-six, was born in Lapland, emigrating to America in girlhood, and was married in Nebraska. The other children in the family are named: Harvey A., Nathaniel T. Arthur B., Mrs. Mayme I. Melquist and Anna Mildred. The fist schooling for Mr. Ed. A. Johnson was at Wahoo, Nebraska, and after coming to Idaho at the age of thirteen he attended the high school of Idaho Falls, where he was graduated in 1898. Like many successful men, he began as a school teacher, his work being in schools near Idaho Falls. After two years in that employment he entered the railway mail service, and for three years his duties kept him on the road between Idaho Falls and St. Anthony, and Pocatello and Portland. United States Marshal Ruel Rounds, for the Idaho district, then chose him chief deputy marshal. He had already determined upon a professional career, and took up civil engineering in a practical way under Mr. Paul S. S. Bickel, in the Twin Falls district, remaining under Mr. Bickel's capable supervision four years. He then located at Glenns Ferry in connection with work on the King Hill Extension, and in 1910-11 served as city engineer for Glenns Ferry. Mr. Johnson is at present chief engineer for the Thousand Springs Land and Irrigation Company, a project involving seventy-five hundred acres northwest of Mackey. During hs residence at Twin Falls he served as assistant postmaster in 1904. Mr. Johnson is a member of the Idaho Society of Civil engineers, and has a high standing in his profession throughout the state. He is affiliated with the Odd Fellows lodge at Idaho Falls, is a Republican in politics, and a member of the Congregational church. His own career has caused him to become one of the most enthusiastic Idaho boosters, and he has all the confidence in the remarkable development of the state. At Boise City on May 18, 1912, Mr. Johnson, was married to Miss Edna A. Griffith, the result of this union being a boy, Arnold Stanton. Mrs. Johnson was born at Carthage, Missouri, where she began her schooling and later attended the College of Idaho at Caldwell, where she was graduated in the academic course in 1908. She has a brother, Frank E. Griffith, born in 1883, and a sister, Mrs. Ed. N. Mapes, both of whom were also natives of Carthage, Missouri. Their parents are Edwin S. and Anna (Griffith) Griffith. Her father, who was born at Philadelphia, spent a number of years in Illinois, Missouri, Texas and Tennessee, and in 1905 moved to Idaho, being a resident at Glenns Ferry till 1909, when he moved to Caldwell. He is one of the prosperous ranchers of that section. The mother was born at Winchester, Virginia, but in early childhood moved to Iowa, and later to Carthage, Missouri, where she was married. Her father, James Hackney Griffith, a staunch Union man during the Civil war, piloted the first Union forces through the Shennadoah valley. He was captured by the rebels and sentenced to death, but escaped. He crossed West Virginia, and swam the Ohio river on horseback, with a black boy behind his saddle. His family later followed him to Iowa, where they partly retrieved their fortune, lost by the ravages of the war. Note - Eunice Burrows sent this item to me on Jan. 23, 1998.
