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

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,
