Title	William J. Johnson Home- 707 West Second Street
Subject	Residences; Homes
Description	William J. Johnson, 1953-1918, and his wife Ida were the first Johnsons to live in this home, though it stayed in the Johnson family from about 1890 until 1945. After William J. Johnson died in 1918 it became the home of his brother David and his family. They lived there until the 1940s. In 1942 Richard Johnson, son of William J. and Ida, is listed in the city directory as being in the home. By the early 1950s the home was no longer under the Johnson name and there are at least two more owners of the home to the present. At sometime after 1927 the home had its large front porch removed, which greatly changed the appearance of the building.
