Dr. Johanson was baptized by Dr. L. A. Platts and joined the Seventh Day Baptist Church in Milton, Wis., and in 1909 he transferred his membership to the Battle Creek church. He was a most active member although ill health in the past few years had curtailed some of his activity.

Johanson of Battle Creek, Mrs. Ila Heinz of San Antonio, Texas, and Marilyn Martha Johanson who died in childhood in 1932. Other survivors are three grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and scores of devoted friends. Mrs. Johanson preceded him in death Dec. 23, 1961. They celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary in June 1956.
Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Eugene N. Fatato and the Rev. Leon R. Lawton and interment was at Memorial Park Cemetery.
