N. D. Williamson offlciating. Mr. Johnson bad been a resident of South Bend for fifty-eight years, ooming here when bat boy of 17.

lis was the oldest son of the late Jadge Peter John son and was born in Brownsville, April 6 1814. When two years old bis parents 'moved to Green ooacty, Ohio, near Xenia, where the only brother now liric tn this city. Lea P- was born. From Ohio the family mored to Bicb- mond, this i state, in 1817, and after ten Tears residence there, moved to Logansport in the win. ter of 1827.

In the fall of 1830 the father came to this place, riding through from Logansport on horseback, and accompanied by bis son Evan, who walked. Jndse Johnson liked tbe location of South Bend, which was then being laid out, and saw that tbers would be money In 4 Rood "tavern' ior hotel. He purchased I the lot now ooon-pied; by Coonley'e drns; store sand Adlef Bros, clothing store, and running as far west tbe Oren Ac Baker grocery, and in February, 1831, be and bis sons. Evan and Lea, tbe former 17 and the tatter bat 12 or 14, came here and be gan the erection of ths first frame struct ure in South Bsnd. Daring its con a traction tbe father and two sons lived in a log cabin built directly in the mid die of what ia now Pearl avenue, and about opposite where Oollmer's shoe sbop now is.

Lea was too! young do much carpenter work and i be offl dated at cook. At that time Cob Tay Iors store was on Pearl street, almost midway between tb log cabin and the old Mueesel building, which was unroof ed by the wind last week. When the hones was completed it was named the Michigan Tavern." It was a preten tious two-story structure occupying about 1401 feet of the: let on Michigan street and perhaps 60 feet ion Washington street. The father moved the rest of his family her and ha became the landlord of the hotel. and.

conducted it, we believe," until it was purchased by Messrs. Koehler A Duey, and its name was charged to the America bouse. It was finally torn away, after standing thirty years, to giv place to the present brick structure. 1 Evan, or Iv, as he was familiarly illed not only assisted in building tb first tram house in South Bend, bat one of the builders of the old red brick court house, for which his father had the 'contract, and in which the father officiated for many years as associate judge, Judge Johnson, was an pioneer he built ssveral keel boats in which his sons Evan and Lea assisted him. Thee boats war used on the St.

Joseph between her and the mouth of tbe river. The first one built was the Fsir FlsyH and its launching was a county event, bringing together as msny people as a Fourth of July celebration. It was built on Washington street in front of what is now the Oren fe Baker grocery and was launched where, tbe old dork ia at th foot of the street. In fact lbs street was cut down almost to its present grads to permit th running of th boat down to th water on skids. Th subject of this sketch not only male himself useful as boy pioneer in working on th first frame bouse, the first court bouse and th first keel-boat.
