MELONE, D.J. (I15831)

14852

Melvin (Swede) Augustus Johnson passed away Saturday, June 7, in his sleep. He was born in Ellensburg (Woldale district) on November 24, 1914, to immigrant parents, Anne Marie Digene (Hedalen Valdres, Norway) and John David Johnson (Almered Satila, Sweden). He graduated from Ellensburg High School in 1933 and spent his entire life in the valley. He was employed in the lumber industry for 37 years; 33 of those years were for Boise Cascade. He married Lucille Hunt on June 28, 1945. They were life-long members of First Lutheran Church. During their 63 years together they enjoyed many trips throughout the Northwest, especially the Oregon Coast, and Canada. Melvin loved creek fishing (Taneum, Green Canyon, and Salmon la Sac) and in his later years lake fishing at Fish Lake with his niece Linda. He also loved gardening, discussing politics, watching all sports, and raising his farm animals. In later years bird-watching and bird feeding (Audobon Society member) became a favorite past-time. Though Melvin's formal education ended at high school, he continued to surround himself with books. He loved to acquire and read books, and the importance of education was stressed to his family. He was very proud that all four of his children earned a college degree and that all eight of his grandchildren also graduated from college, with several going on to post-graduate work. Having lived through the Depression, like many of his generation, he acquired a great work ethic, a sense of frugality, and perseverance, punctuated by honesty and integrity. In spite of his thriftiness, he was very generous with his various charities. Family was very important to Melvin as witnessed by his strong devotion and responsibility towards them. In addition to his strong relationships with his children and grandchildren, he had an outstanding interest in maintaining contacts with his family members in Norway and Sweden. He also always looked forward to family traditions and events: birthdays, weddings, parades, the Ellensburg Rodeo, and the annual Family Olympics (secretly hoping to win the gold medal in horseshoes or the balloon toss). He is survived by his wife, Lucille; his four children, Keith (Janet) Johnson (Poulsbo), Anne Bounds (Yakima), Patricia (Robert) Bacon (Vancouver), and Laurie Johnson (Olympia); his eight grandchildren Brett Johnson, Maren Johnson, Jennifer Buster, Kirsten Koetje, Courtney Holbrook, Cari Waldal, Drew Stillman and Bryce Stillman; and nine great-grandchildren. Also surviving are his sisters Della Pedersen (Ellensburg), Elna Johnson (Seattle), and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Charles Johnson. The family gratefully acknowledges the special care and assistance given Melvin during this last year: Dr. Donald Solberg, Pastor Dennis Hickman, Kristi Zollars, the staff at the Royal Vista, and other close neighbors and friends. A memorial service celebrating Melvin's life will be held on Thursday, June 12, at 11:00 a.m. at the First Lutheran Church.

Mentally unstable. Burned down farm with several people in it. Sentenced to lifetime in Akershus prison.

He is I8847 in Jim’s VS.

Jim’s notes:

Johannes kan også være født på Søre Givre 75/2, som faren hadde overtatt mellom 1660 og 1670.

Johannes kom til Midtre Givre 75/1 omkring 1693 og var der til omkring 1706. Hvordan han fikk Givre vet jeg ikke, men han vokste opp på nabogården som faren hadde kjøpt, og hadde sånn sett god oversikt over forholdene.

Han hadde arvet en del av Nordland fra faren som kom derfra, og den 6.7.1705 og 25.2.1706 stevnet han Nils Johannessen Nordland for åsetesretten til 14 skinn i gården, som Nils hadde brukt 9 av og Johannes eide 5. Dessuten stevnet han Nils fo r at han hadde tatt et stykke som Johannes eide. De ble forlikte om at Nils skulle flytte til Givre 75/1 og Johannes skulle få Nordland. De skulle flytte på første faredag. Han flyttet til Nordland våren 1706.

Frøholm skriver at Johannes ble gal. Han satte fyr på våningshuset på Nordland, slik at alle husene på gården hans og på nabogården brant ned, med to mennesker, deriblant hans egen datter som vi ikke vet navnet på, hele avlingen, og seks storfe.

I retten i februar 1712 tilsto Johannes å ha båret varme i en øse av tre, men han hadde ikke av "våde eller skøytesløse eller av fritt forsett i sin vanvittighed" satt fyr på husene. Dommerne fant at han syntes å være ved full fornuft, og måtte dø mmes til fengsel på Akershus for livstid. Før han ble sendt dit, ble familien spurt om de kunne ta seg av på en sånn måte at bygdefolket kunne føle seg trygge, men ingen ville ta på seg det ansvaret. I 1712 sa broren til Johannes, Andris Knutsen på søre Givre, at han ikke kunne underhold e ham eller ha ham i trygg forvaring.

Det ble gjort et forsøk til, for på tinget i 1713 ble det lest opp et skriv fra stiftsbefalinggsmannen, med spørsmål om bygdefolket ville la ham gå i jern fra gård til gård, men det ville de ikke være med på, fordi de var redde for at han kunne gj øre ulykke på hus og hjem, folk og krøtter. Men de ville sende mat til ham, så snart han var tatt i trygg forvaring.

De skadelidte etter brannen skulle få erstatning fra den faste eiendommen hans.

Johannes må ha hatt flere barn, bl.a. datteren som brant inne, men vi kjenner bare til navnet på en sønn: Andris, og en datter Anne som bodde på Nystuen. Broren til kona, Ola T Kjøs ivaretok Johannes sine interesser i en sak i 1719 om en delelinj e mellom de to Nordlandsgårdene.
