Charles E. Johnson. To behold the progress and culture of Pleasant Township one would scarcely imagine that a few years back it was little more than a forest primeval and possessed only the charm of nature. This place is rightly named, being in very truth an exceedingly pleasant township and one well adapted to business and pleasure alike. Among the early pioneers, those who hewed out the foundation upon which the little city has been built, numbers the subject of our sketch. He makes his home on section 9, and is largely instrumental in bringing about many of the new and successful methods of advancing business, educational and social standards. Mr. Johnson's birth occurred in Saratoga County, N. Y., on the 13th of July, 1830, being the son of Lemuel and Lydia (Rowley) Johnson, natives of New York.
