>JOHN A. JOHNSTON--One of the early settlers of Lincoln township, Neosho

>
>years when he accompanied his parents hither from Grayson county, Kentucky,
>
>where he was born on October 22, 1847. He is one of a family of six sons and
>
>three daughters, children of Absolom and Mary E. (Thomas) Johnston. The
>
>father was born in Virginia in 1800 and came, as a child, into Kentucky
>where
>
>he was reared and married, and resided till his departure for Kansas in
>1867.

>Absolom Johnston was one of the splendid characters of Neosho county. He
>
>was gentle, kind and obliging and died in September, 1881, without having an
>
>enemy in the county. He and his matronly wife who died in April, 1882,
>reared
>
>a family of nine children, our subject being the youngest of the group.
>
>John A. Johnston preempted a claim in Neosho county and secured his
>
>patent from the government. He prospered at farming and in 1880 engaged in
>
>the shipping of stock, which business has grown from the most modest handing
>
>of the marketable stock over a wide extent of territory. The little village
>
>of South Mound is his shipping point and much of the prominence of the place
>
>results from the business which he brings to it. Since 1875 he has resided
>
>one and one-half miles north of town where he accumulated an estate of a
>
>section and one-half of land. Two quarter sections of this he has set off to
>
>two children, leaving him with a square farm of six hundred and forty acres,
>
>one of the valuable tracts of Lincoln township.
>
>August 8, 1876, Mr. Johnston married Teresa Speake, a daughter of William

>
>Bates county, Missouri, and, in 1867, to Neosho county, Kansas. Here Mr.
