JOHNSON was born on the Husaby estate, in the province of Blekinge, Swe- den, June 3, 1861. Some time later his parents removed to Mjellby, where most of the years of his youth were spent. The family being in poor circumstances, he had to apply himself early to hard labor, and enjoyed no schooling after his twelfth year. At the age of twenty years he emigrated to America, securing work on a farm near Sycamore,. De Kalb Co., Illinois, where he spent two years. The third year he spent in the West, working on the railroads. In 1 884 he went to Chicago. After having been sick in Alexian Bro- thers Hospital for three months he became penniless. He secured employment piling lumber and shoveling coal along the docks at Chicago ave. Then after having a place as porter in a wholesale clothing house he was advanced to be shipping clerk, which posi- tion was retained for five years. He established a milk depot in 1889 and later a grocery store, finally acquiring four stores, which he conducted with considerable success for over ten years. He is at present a building contractor and operates extensively in build- ings, purchasing properties and erecting buildings on them. His latest venture is a $75,000 apart- ment building on Sheridan Road. Mr. Johnson is married to Miss Nellie Munson, daughter of Nels Munson and his wife, Hanna Nel- son, the date of their wedding be- ing Feb. 25, 1887.
