Stephen Johnson "On New Year's day, January 1, 1853, Stephen Johnson, the first settler in what is now Thompson township, came to this locality, and entering a claim to the northwest quarter of southwest quarter and the southwest quarter of the northwest quarter of section 34. He came to this place from Brown county, Illinois, and at once put him up a log cabin, sixteen feet square, near his present residence, in which he lived until 1865, when he built the neat frame cottage he now lives in. Here he broke the first ground opened for cultivation in the township, in the spring of 1853. About twenty acres he planted with corn, which yielded him a return of forty bushels to the acre. Although Mr. Johnson was a farmer, yet he was also a mighty hunter in early days. In 1855 he killed upward of ninety-five deer, besides bear and other game, from which he realized $250, besides keeping his family in meat. He saw some buffalo here, but never had the good fortune to kill any. Stephen Johnson is a native of New York, having been born in Monroe county May 21, 1818, his parents being Joseph and Sarah (Hayes) Johnson, who were natives of Pennsylvania. Stephen's grandfather was of English extraction and his grandmother of Irish. His early life was spent on a farm in Monroe county, New York--until seven years of age--when his parents moved to La Ville, Ohio, where they lived for six years. His father was a millwright and built the first mill in La Ville, where he followed that business. His parents removed from there going to Adams county, Illinois. In 1844 Stephen went to Lafayette county, Missouri, where he farmed, having married, May 23, 1843, Miss Mary A. Hess, a native of Pennsylvania, and the daughter of Jacob Hess, who was of German descent. They had three children, who are now dead. They now have one child--Hiram. From Missouri he again returned to Illinois, where he remained till 1852, when he started west, but stopped at Hamilton, Illinois, opposite Keokuk, Iowa, where he engaged in breaking prairie. In the spring of 1853 he came to his present home. Among the hunter's stories he tells is one in which, while going to Pearson's mill, he saw a puma, or Rocky mountain lion, near the head of the North river. The animal had been doing considerable damage, and was poisoned about the time he saw it and was not seen afterwards. When asked by his neighbors why he did not kill it, he replied that he had no gun with him, or else its hide would have been in his possession. The animals, justly dreaded by all on account of their fierceness and activity, being allied to the cat tribe, are singularly rare in this part of the country, fortunately for the settlers. Hiram Johnson, still a resident of this township [Thompson], came here with his parents in 1853. Hiram Johnson came to Guthrie county in 1854. [sic] He was born in Adams county, Illinois, on the 18th of October, 1845, and in 1853 he removed to Hancock county with his parents, and the next year came to Guthrie county. He was married in July, 1865, to Miss Mark K. McMullen, and by whom he has had four children--Joseph R., Mary K., Alice M. and Edgar A. Mr. Johnson enlisted in 1864 in company C, 46th Iowa infantry, and was mustered out at Davenport. Mr. J. is one of the early settlers of Guthrie county, and is an esteemed and honorable man."History of Guthrie and Adair Counties, Iowa
