Ashtabula Beacon-Record, Nov. 20, 1901.
Mrs. S. F. Bingham received word Sunday morning {17th} of the sudden death of her father, Prof. H. U. Johnson, at Lancaster, Wis., at which place he had been making his home for the past five years with his elder son, Will A. Johnson. He also leaves another son, Fred V., of Chicago.
Prof. Johnson was 71 years old last May, and for many years was a teacher of note in his part of the state, coming to Orwell in 1865 from West Farmington, and for 12 years or more he was in charge of the Orwell Normal Institute, which educated many of the prominent men of that time.
He was well known by the people of Ashtabula and surrounding counties, having been for nine years on the examination board, and many old school teachers remember him well. In 1876 he went to North East, Pa., to take charge of the school there, but remained only seven years, returning to Ohio and giving up teaching.
The family resided in Ashtabula for some years, returning for a short time to their old home in Orwell. His wife died five years ago last September and the home was broken up, he going west.
When and where the funeral will be is not yet known.
