EBENEZER JOHNSON, 10 Apr 1811 - 02 Feb 1904

   Ebenezer Johnson, one of the sturdy pioneers of Steuben county, was 
born in South Deerfield, Massachusetts, April 10, 1811, and died at the 
home of his daughter, Adalaide Castell, Feb. 2, 1904, aged 93 years, 9 
months and 21 days.
   Deceased came to Angola in 1844 and bought a piece of government land 
southwest of Angola, cleared up the farm and made it his home until death, 
with the exception of a few years spent in Angola.  For the past four 
years he has been a helpless invalid, being unable to stand or walk alone, 
and much of the time was a great sufferer.  He often expressed a desire to 
go home and be at rest, yet endured his affliction with christian 
patience.  His wife died Sept. 4, 1870.  One daughter, Mrs. Adalaide 
Castell, survives him.
