    3. This was my GG Grandfather found his obit. mother was Sallie Little can not read his father first name ??? Johnson any help I would be greatfull Bill Russell in stormy Nicholasville, Jessamine County KY. Mr. Joseph Johnson, who lived near Munday's Landing, died on Monday last and was buried Tuesday afternoon in the Rhorer burying ground. "Uncle Joe," as he was called, would have been 101 years old had he lived until the 15th of December next. About a year ago he was baptized near Brooklyn Bridge in the Kentucky river by Rev. Clarence Walker of the Wilmore Baptist church and probably was the oldest man that was ever received into a church in this manner. He was a Union veteran, having entered the Federal army at the first call and continued with it until Lee surrendered at Appomattox. It is related that Johnson, when he entered the polling place in the race between McCreary and O'Rear, stated that he had voted the Republican, and its predecessors, ticket for 70 years, but that he was going to vote for McCreary and the Democratic ticket.
