  CHARLES W. JOHNSON - While Charles W. Johnson of Superior Township still owns farm land in Florence Township where he was born, Feb. 17, 1865, he is a stockholder and officially connected with a number of business institutions in Williams County.  He is a son of Simeon and Diana (Stelts) Johnson, the parents having come from Columbiana to Williams County many years ago.  Mr. Johnson has one brother, Emery O. Johnson of Montpelier.
     Mr. Johnson was brought up on a farm in Florence Township and had common school advantages there.  In 1895 he married Lillie Burns, who was born in Center Township, Williams County.  She is a daughter of Allen Burns.  They began life on a farm in Florence Township and he made his money in handling livestock.  He now owns almost 500 acres of farm land in Williams County.  He is vice president and a member of the board of directors of the Farmers and Merchants State and Savings Bank of Montpelier, and president of the Farmers Banking Company of Columbia in Northwest Township and he is also a stockholder in the Montpelier National Bank.  While Mr. Johnson has both farm and business interests, he prefers living in the country.

  EMORY O. JOHNSON - Because they are brothers Emory O. Johnson, of Montpelier, has the same lineal descent as Charles W. Johnson, their parents being Simeon and Dianna. (Steltz) Johnson.  Mr. Johnson was born Apr. 12, 1864, in Florence Township where the parents had located when they came to Williams County.  The father was born in 1835, and the mother in 1839, in Columbiana County, Ohio.  They were married there and in 1865 they came to Williams County.  They spent the rest of their lives on the farm in Florence Township, their two sons being born and educated there.  E. O. Johnson began life as a farmer there.
     On Feb. 26, 1890, Mr. Johnson married Maggie Maier, who was born Feb. 16, 1868, in Center Township.  She is a daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth (Webber) Maier, the father born Jan. 5, 1833, in Germany, and the mother, a native of Tuscarawas County.  Mr. Maier came to the United States when he was seventeen years old, finally locating in Williams County.  He married in Williams County and settled on a farm in Center Township where he reared his family.  He now lives in Bryan.  Mr. Maier was a soldier in Company K, Thirty-Sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and served to the close of the war.  While he came from a country where militarism prevailed, he did not shrink from taking up arms in defense of his adopted country.  Mr. Maier is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic post in Bryan today. He is a Granger, and a member of the Methodist Church there.
     When E. O. Johnson married he located on a farm in Florence Township, and his only son and child, Clarence S. Johnson, lives there today.  C. S. Johnson was born Oct. 12, 1892, and he married Beulah Kess.  He is a member of Superior Lodge No. 269, Knights of Pythias, and Mrs. Johnson belongs to the Pythian Sisters.  The Johnson family vote is cast with the democratic party.  The farmland where C. S. Johnson lives lies in Florence and Superior Townships, Williams County.
