Weekly Butte Record, Saturday, May 22, 1880, page 3 col 4 [article recounts wedding on May 20, 1880]: Johnson-Roberts Wedding. The wedding of Mr. Chas. N. Johnson and Miss Emma A. Roberts was solemnized this morning at 6:30, at the residence of Mr. D.M. Hooper. Only a few persons were present, they being the relatives and intimate friends of the contracting parties. The wedding ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Warren, and were very solemn and impressive. An elegant breakfast was served to the guests, after which the happy couple departed for San Francisco, where they will remain a week, and then return and take up their residence in Chico.

Chico Semi Weekly Enterprise, Friday Evening, May 28, 1880, Page 3 col 3: The Reception. Last evening was the time appointed for the reception by Mr. and Mrs. C.N. Johnson, and right royally was the invitation responded to. The happy couple arrived on the train last evening, and at eight o'clock their many friends assembled to give them a hearty welcome, and bid them God-speed in the matrimonial journey through life. The reception was held at the residence of the bridegroom's father, and the parlors presented a fine appearance with their floral decorations. The company was large, and before the hand-shaking and congratulations got through we have no doubt the young couple were tired enough. There were also numerous and costly presented for our young friends, but a want of space precludes the possibility of our giving a list. After the social greetings were over, and the pleasantries of the evening had been exchanged by the assembled crow, and adjournment was had to the dining-room where strawberries and cream, ice cream, cake and lemonade were served in abundance. The congratulations of the Enterprise are extended to the happy couple, hoping that they may fully realize all the kind wishes and encouraging words given them last evening, and that unbounded prosperity, may attend them through life. The Fifth Brigade band paid their respects at a later hour and a fine serenade was given by them.

Chico Daily Morning Record, Saturday, June 4, 1904, pg 1, col 3: Chas. N. Johnson Passes Beyond. Passed Away Early Yesterday Morning, After Several Weeks' Illness. Was Resident of Chico for Many Years and at One Time Prominent in Local Business Circles – Funeral Sunday. The not unexpected death of Charles Newman Johnson occurred yesterday morning about 5 o'clock at his home on Normal avenue. It had been evident to his friends and relatives for some time that there was no hope of his recovery from the general breaking down of his system, which was confining him to his house, and when the final summons came it was felt that it was in the nature of relief from his sufferings. Mr. Johnson had been in ill-health for several years and his end was hastened by an attack of pneumonia, which left him in such an enfeebled condition that his nervous system was completely undermined.

Mr. Johnson was born in Colusa (now Glenn) county in April 1859, and with his parents moved to Chico in the early days of the city's growth, where his father, up to the time of his death, some two or three years ago, was prominently identified with the business interests of the town. The Johnson House, which was constructed and owned by his father, Newman Johnson was conducted for a number of years by deceased, but being unsuccessful in that venture, he retired from the hotel business and engaged in clerking, more recently having been in the employ of J.H. Sawtell.

On May 20, 1880, he was married to Miss Roberts, who resided near Chico, who with two children, Alice L. of Chico and Dr. Llewellyn Johnson of Angels Camp, are left to mourn his loss.

He also leaves an aged mother, who resides at Fourth and Wall streets, and two brothers, Melvin of Willows and Dr. F.D. of San Francisco.

Deceased was formerly a member of Engine Company No. 1, and the tolling of the department bell and half-masting of the flag yesterday on No. 1's house gave notice of his passing.

The funeral will take place from the family home Sunday (tomorrow) at 2 o'clock p.m.

Chico Record, Monday Morning, June 6, 1904, pg 5 col 3: Charles N. Johnson Laid Tenderly Away. All that was mortal of the late Charles Newman Johnson was laid beneath the sod yesterday afternoon. A very large cortege of friends and former schoolmates and companions accompanied the body to its last resting place in Chico cemetery. A delegation from the Chico Fire Department, in full uniform, escorted the body, and the tolling of the department bell gave note to the final ceremonies attendant upon the placing away of one, who had for many years been active in fire service.

The services were conducted by Rev. Willsie Martin of the First Methodist church, who delivered a strong sermon appropriate to the occasion which was profoundly received by his listeners. At the conclusion of his remarks the body was borne to the hearse by pallbears [sic], as follows: M.L. Mery, E.E. Canfield, D.W. Cooper, C.T. Smithson, Charles DeLong, and F.S. Allen. An unusually large number of vehicles were in the line following the remains to the cemetery, where, after brief services, the earth was closed over a native son who had spent nearly his whole life in the city which saw its close.
