About James Johnson

As told by Ethel Taylor: "Jimmy Johnson was working in the hay lofts during threshing and got too hot. He climbed down and lay down on the ground and died."



James "Jimmie" or "Jimmy" Johnson lived and died on his father's farm. He died from overheating while threshing wheat. It is said that Jimmy hid his money consisting of gold and silver on this farm and was never able to find it. More than a hundred years passed when the money was plowed up by the family living there.
