Oscar Johnson, though Il man OF honor

He was very industrious. and so very
economical that he cut and made his
wearing apparel and did not spend
rooney. 1T was never doubted that he had
.lots of money" Mr.. Johnson was the
most striklngy peculiar and eccentric
mortal in King George. Flo came to this
county thirty-odd years ago from Rich
mond city. Va, where he was for SOME
time employed as journeyman at the
Sunderland gun shops, and purchased
fifty acres Of land at Shiloh On this
t, act he built n small dwelling, In which
he lived all alone, always refusing to
admit within his door any visitor except
strictly on business. He cultivated his
little farm exclusively with the labor o
his own hands, devoting his Spare hours
and rainy days to the repairing Of guns
and pistols that were carried to him from
he surrounding country.
Several years ago o passing nelghbor
found Mr.. Johnson lying unconscious at
his pillow III his field, and he died aydny
or two later In the home OF Mr.. william

1t is @ strange fact that after long
