Hi Listers.. An index to the biographies in the History of Barron County, 1922, and others previously submitted are available at the following: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/barron/bios.htm Ralph L. Johnson, an energetic and prosperous farmer owning 120 acres in Section 17, east, Maple Grove Township, was born in the township where he still lives, Aug. 6, 1892, son of Thor H. and Wilhelmina (Storm) Johnson. He attended the district school, took a two-years' course at the Chetek High School, and in 1910 was graduated from the Chippewa Valley Business College at Chippewa Falls. Then for a time he was employed by the Jenney, Semple & Hill Wholesale House in Minneapolis. He purchased his present place in 1912. Before this, in addition to attending school and working in Minneapolis for a while, he had operated the home farm for a while and a rented farm for some three years. He now successfully carries on general farming and dairying, having a good herd of Holsteins, with a full-blooded sire at the head, and a good drove of Duroc-Jersey swine. Fraternally, Mr. Johnson is a member of the Mystic Workers. He and his family attend the Free Mission Church. Mr. Johnson was married April 10, 1917, to Garda Olson, daughter of William and Alice (Gulickson) Olson, natives respectively of Wisconsin and Norway, the former of whom is dead, and the latter of whom lives in Stanley Township, this county. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have one child, Norma W., born July 1, 1918. --Taken from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C. Cooper, Jr., & Co., 1922, pg. 179.
