History: Calvin Johnson settled on this land in 1853, and 2nd person to enter land in Franklin Township.  (He helped to organize 2 Presbyterian churches-Garden Grove in 1856 and Leon in 1857.)  Johnson Cemetery was also known as the Wilson Cemetery since it was located in the Wilson school district.  This cemetery is not well-cared for; many stones have fallen and broken.  There are probably many stones that cannot be seen because of unmowed grass.  Johnson Cemetery was canvassed (copied) by Chad Kellogg in 1969.
