  Notes	In the 1900 census, she is shown as having had 6 children, only 2 still living. She died of nephritis. Her birth record in the Verdal (Stiklestad) church book shows she emigrated to the U.S. on 27 April 1872. Her obituary: Mrs. Theo Johnson, wife of the well known meat market proprietor died at their home on Bismarck Avenue at 9:50 PM Thursday evening from stomach trouble and Bright’s disease. Mrs. Johnson had been ill for some time past and had been confined to her bed for the past three weeks. She failed gradually but retained consciousness almost to the last. Mrs. Johnson was born in Norway and would have been 65 years of age had she lived until February next. She came to the U.S. and was married to Mr. Johnson in Eau Claire on July 4, 1872. Mr. Johnson was at that time in the employ of a large lumber concern in Eau Claire. They resided there until 1875 when they came to Fergus Falls, being amongst the earliest residents of this city. Mr. Johnson was at first engaged in carpenter and contract work here and later engaged in the meat business. She was a devoted wife and mother and is survived by her husband and two sons, Gilmer and Conrad, both of whom reside there. She was a devoted Christian, a member of the Lutheran Free Church, kind and charitable, and one who will be missed in the home circle and in the community generally.
