JOHN, WILLIAM, JOSEPH JOHNSON JOHN AND ANNA JOHNSON'S CHILDREN: THREE BROTHERS DROWN, While Attempting to Cross the River on the Ice. Saturday afternoon three sons of John Johnson, a laborer at the shipyards, went into the country in quest of wintergreen. About 4 o'clock, having roamed the woods adjoining the cemetery, they determined to cross the river at a point a little above the second railroad bridge. The oldest, named Willie, about fourteen years of age, was ahead of his brothers some distance, and sliding on the ice in usual boyish fashion. When about halfway across, the ice suddenly gave way beneath him. He clung to the ice for dear life, and waited for his younger brothers, who had started towards him as soon as they saw him disappear. They tried their best to save their elder brother, but they were too weak, John being but ten years old and Joseph only eight. After several vain endeavors to save their brother, their footing suddenly gave way, and they too went into the river, and immediately sank to the bottom. A farmer passing on the road had witnessed the accident, and hurried down to save, if possible. But he was too late. Poor Willie could hold out no longer, and he soon followed his little brothers to the bottom. A little playmate of theirs, who had been with them in the woods, had seen the accident from the distance and immediately hurried to the city to report the sad news. Many of our citizens at once hastened to the scene with axes and poles. The ice was cleared away and a diligent search instituted. The body of Willie, the oldest, was soon found at a distance of about thirty feet from where he had fallen in. It was found by Frank Yanda. About 11 o'clock Saturday night a sailor named Knudson found the body of Johnnie; it was still further down the river than Willie's. Search was kept up until late Saturday night and renewed with the same diligence on Sunday and Monday, but no traces could be found of the body of Joseph, the youngest. As before stated, he was but eight years old, and small for a boy of that age; hence it was thought the current had carried him far down the river. This heart-rending accident is one of the saddest that ever happened in our city. To have three little laughing lads suddenly find a watery grave is indeed terrible to contemplate, and Mr. Johnson can assured of the sincere sympathy of the entire community. The funeral takes place this afternoon at two o'clock. December 13, 1881 ********* Found. Last Thursday afternoon, the body of Joseph Johnson, the youngest of the three brothers whose sad drowning we chronicled last week, was found by the bereaved father. It was found about a mile from the place where he had fallen in. Diligent search was made ever since the accident occurred and success was often despaired of, but the brave men engaged in the search never gave up. Six days and sometimes even during the night, the neighbors and relatives Mr. Johnson worked at clearing the ice and searching the bottom until finally, as before stated, the body was found. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon, and was largely attended. Six little boys, playmates of the deceased, acted as pall-bearers. December 20, 1881 (news article sent in by researcher/see contributors page) ********* From Der Nord Westen, 15 Dec. 1881: Three sons of John Johnson fell through the ice of a local pond and all three drowned; William (14) Joseph (12), and John (8). Two found and buried. More in Der Nord Westen on 22 Dec. 1881 about finding the other boy.

JULIUS JOHNSON (d. 1917) cemetery #44 JULIUS JOHNSON, PIONEER SETTLER OF CITY, PASSES AWAY AT HOLLYWOOD, CAL., AT AGE OF 79 YEARS Pioneer Vessel Captain Was Formerly Instructor at School in Norway and was Personal Friend of Henry Ibsen, Noted Dramatist. Was Father of A.M. Johnson of this City Messages have been received by friends of the death at Hollywood, Cal., Sunday of Julius Johnson pioneer resident of this city and father of Andrew M. Johnson at the advanced age of 79 years. Funeral services will be held at Hollywood today and later the body will be brought to this city for interment. Mr. Johnson was one of the early day settlers of Manitowoc and resided here up to a few months ago when with his son he departed to take up his home in California. When he was 14 years old, Mr. Johnson left his native town, Grimstad, Norway to seek his fortune upon the high seas and after serving in the ? capacity he became captain of his ship and sailed many years between European and African ports leading the attendant adventurous life of the navigator of the earlier days. It was at Bergen, Norway where he learned the art of shipbuilding that he became acquainted with Henrik Ibsen, the great dramatist and poet, whose friendship had a lasting influence on his life. Mr. Johnson returned and spent several years as instructor of navigation in the schools of Grimstad where he met Harrelda M? (illegible) of Horten, Norway, whom he married and who in 1885 died at Manitowoc. The young married couple came to Manitowoc in the late sixties and immediately made their home at 909 Huron street, where with their many friends were received. During the early days Mr. Johnson sailed the Great Lakes and many of the old settlers will recall when as captain of the John Schuette he sailed in 1879 from Manitowoc to Gloucester, England, a venture which was then considered of some importance. In 1887 he was married to Regnild Gunderson who after a useful life, died in September, 1911. After Mr. Johnson left the sea life he became a shipbuilder and was later employed at the Burger shipyards. During the past ten years he has lived in retirement and in June last moved to California with his daughter, Mrs. Anna C. Johnson and son, Andrew M. Johnson, who survive him together with Mrs. James L. Moir and Morten S. Johnson of Chicago. It was his hopes that the climate of the west would amellorate the ills which accompanied his advancing years but as that failed he submitted to the divine edict and passed into the valley of the shadow of Death from whence no traveler returns. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Tuesday, February 13, 1917, Page 1 ******** BODY OF CAPT. JULIUS JOHNSON TO REACH CITY ON SATURDAY Body to Be Taken to Frazier Chapel and Funeral Services will be Held Tuesday—Sailed First Schooner Across Ocean The body of the late Capt. Julius Johnson, former resident whose death occurred at Hollingwood, Cal., will reach the city Saturday evening and funeral services will probably be held Tuesday. This message was received from Andrew M. Johnson, son of the deceased who will accompany the body here. The remains will be taken to the C. & H. Frazier chapel from which the funeral will be held. Capt. Johnson who was a resident of this city for many years was a veteran of the Crimean war and was one of the pioneer vessel captains of the lakes and sailed the ocean for many years. Capt. Johnson navigated the first ship which sailed from the Great Lakes direct to England. In 1877 Capt. Johnson commanded the schooner John Schuette which sailed from Green Bay to Gloucester, Eng., with products. It is said that this was the first boat which ever made the trip across the ocean from a lake port up to that time. During the civil war, in 1864, Capt. Johnson saw the Alabama sail out from Cherbourg and engage the Kearsage, his own ship ever heading nearer and nearer the conflict. The sailors manned the rigging and excitedly called to one another as the battle waxed and waned. Capt. Johnson, with his son, left here last December to locate in California.

GUSTAV JOMEN cemetery #2 DEATH TAKES CASE TO HIGHER COURT. Gustave Jomen, Defendant in Criminal Action, Appears Before High Tribunal. FEW DAYS BEFORE THE TRIAL Liberty Farmer, Who Was To Have Been Arraigned In Circuit Court, Dies of Typhoid Fever Death intervening hand freed an accused man from the infamy of standing trail on a criminal charge before the earthly courts and carried the case to the higher tribunal, presided over by the Infinite Judge. Gustave Jomen, a Liberty farmer, being the released one. Jomen was to have been tried at this term of Circuit Court, the case being the first on the criminal calendar, but Death claimed him and his innocence or guilt has already been determined in the court from whose decision there is no appeal. Jomen was arrested last March upon complaint of a fourteen-year old girl and who arraigned in Municipal Court entered a plea of not guilty, being bound over to Circuit Court in $500 bond, which he was able to furnish and was allowed his liberty. The crime alleged was most heinous and considerable feeling prevailed at Liberty where both parties resided. On his release from custody Jomen returned home and has since stoutly maintained his innocence of the charge against him. He was anxious to have the case come to trial and was preparing to appear, when taken ill. A cold contracted, developed serious illness and typhoid fever set in claiming the life of the patient Sunday night. The funeral took place at Liberty Wednesday afternoon. Jomen was a man of 38 years of age and, until the time of accusation against him, bore an excellent reputation. During his illness he was constant in denials of any connection with the case and to friends asserted, with his dying breath, that he was innocent. The complaining witness against Jomen was Alma Larson, daughter of a farmer, who resides in the neighborhood. Jomen was unmarried. Whatever question may have existed as to the innocence or guilt of the accused is in longer open for judgment. If guilty retribution has overtaken him without the interference of temporal courts; if innocent, he has been vindicated by his maker and earthly judgment need not pronounced.
