        JOHNSON, EDWARD C., was born in Otsego County, N.Y., October 16, 
1816. His father and mother, James H. and Elizabeth (Crandall) Johnson, 
were natives of New York and Rhode Island; he of the former, she of the 
latter State.  They came to Indiana when the country was quite new 
settling in Otsego Township, August, 1836.  The subject of this sketch 
remained at home most of the time till his father's death (which took 
place in 1856), and has since lived on the old place, to which he has 
added many acres.  He was first married to a Miss Perkins, was married 
in June, 1845, to Miss Parmelia Mabry, and by her had one child, viz., 
Eleanor P.  His present wife he married January 16, 1848, being united 
on that date to Miss Mary E. Corbin; by whom he has had four children, 
viz., Elmer A. (deceased), Cyrenius, Kittie and Mina May. 
        The present Mrs. Johnson is the daughter of Amos and Ciril 
Corbin, natives of Connecticut.  They came to this State in 1843, and 
located in Otsego Township, where they made a nice home.  Her mother 
died January 5, 1835; and her father died August 5, 1846.  He was a good 
and useful man.
        Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are living happily together in a pleasant 
home.
