Col. J.M. Johnson, planter and merchant, Acona, Miss., owns about two thousand acres of land, with five hundred acres under cultivation, and his principal crops are cotton and corn. He is progressive and industrious and in everything connected with his farm he displays excellent judgement and thoroughness, qualities which cannot fail of success. He was born in Miss. in December 1829, and his father, Hon. Stephen Johnson, was a native of Tennessee, as was also his grandfather Johnson. The father was born in Feb. 1806 and died in 1883. He came to Mississippi when a child, was reared and educated in that state and was married there to Miss E. Humphrey, who died in March 1840, leaving four children; Col. J. M., Mary, Emily and Martha. Mr. Johnson's second marriage occured in 1840 to Miss Hampton and eight children were the result of this union: John H., L. L., Laura E., Helen, Henry E., W. T., P. A., W. C., and Elmira. The father was a planter and the last thirty years of his life he was a local minister. He was at one time state senator from Carroll County. He was a member of the Grange and took a great interest in that organization.
Col. J.M. Johnson grew to manhood and secured a liberal education in the schools of his native county. In 1854 he was wedded to Miss Louisa Lipscomb and eight children were the fruits of this marriage: Mary A., Martha E., Emma, J. M., R. P., W. J., Annie L. and P. A. Mrs. Johnson was born in Georgia and her mother was also a native of that state. The latter died in 1872. Mr. Lipscomb was a native of Virginia and died in 1852. Col. Johnson sympathized warmly with the Southern States during the Civil War and in Feb. 1862 he enlisted in Company A, (actually 30th) Thirteenth Regiment under the command of Colonel Neal. He participated in the battles of Perryville, Ky., Murfresboro, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Tenn Chickamauga, Ga, those around Atlanta, Jonesboro, Ga., and Franklin, Tenn. At the latter place he was seriously wounded and taken prisoner and sent to Fort Delaware and was released as prisoner July 1865. At the time of enlistment he was chosen Captain and served in that capacity until the Spring of 1863 when he was promoted to the office of Lieutenant-Colonel, serving in that position until taken prisoner. After returning home, he engaged in planting and merchandising, which he has continued up to the present time. He is a Mason, having joined Mount Moriah Lodge No. 86 in 1852 and has been master of the lodge at different times for several years.
