Amos and Alfred Johnson were sons of Stephen Runyon Johnson (1811-1862) and Jemima Hoover (1808-1876) of central Ohio. Most of the siblings remained in the Sabina OH area, but Amos went west. In 1880 he is found on the Burlingame KS Census. In 1910 he is in Denver CO. He died in 1921 in Nebraska after spending some time in California with his daughter.
Belle Cline Johnson, wife of Alfred, died in 1925. Her obit from the Wilmington News-Journal, Wilmington OH, 09 Nov 1925, contains a great deal of valuable genealogical clues for those seeking her family.
