He took up the study of medicine at a Northern college and later removed to St. Louis, Mo., where he completed his education.
After receiving his degree he pactived in St. Charles, Mo., where he was married to Miss Eliza Ann Griffith May 1, 1861. Dr. and Mrs. Johnston then moved to Minneapolis, Minn., living there until Mrs. Johnston's ill health caused them to return to St. Charles.
His own health failed soon after returning to Missouri and he gave up his profession to enter business. At St. Louis he organized and for many years was the president of the St. Louis car shops. Dr. Johnston became interested in religious work and took an active part in a number of charitable organizations. In St. Louis he joined the Masons. He was a Knight Templar and master of his lodge. For the sake of his health and the health of his son the family moved to San Antonio in 1881 and he entered the ranching and real estate business. He was an active church and lodge worker here.
He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. R. C. Elliott and Miss Minnie L. Johnston; one son, Samuel B. Johnston, and seven grandchildren.
The funeral will be held from the home at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon, with Rev. W. F. Packard, pastor of Travis Park Methodist Church, in charge.
