He was born in Kansas City, MO, on Dec. 31, 1917, to Clyde and Nellie (Millis) Colby. John spent much of his youth living in various eastern states including Ohio, New York and Connecticut.

In 1944 John was part of the D-Day invasion at Normandy. He served in Europe until the end of the war and was honorably discharged in June of 1945. When John returned from the war he married Barbara (Harvey) Colby, the former wife of his brother, Bill, who had been killed in the war. John and Barbara, along with John's parents, moved to Whitewater, WI, shortly after the wedding to start their heating contracting business there. John and Barbara had 4 children: Carol, Joy, Beth and Bill. In 1960 the Colbys moved to Janesville, WI, where John went to work as a mechanical engineer for R. E. Meinert Company.

Johnson Colby, the subject of this sketch, was born in Newport, NH, Oct 22, 1808. His mother died when he was but nine years old, and he was brought to Sutton Nov, 4, of the same year, and was cared for by his maternal grandparents. His whole life has been passed in this town, except when working or teaching in other towns when a young man. He has been well known by a wide circle and respected by all. His early life, like many another, was checked with shadows. He worked hard and persistently to earn a comfortable home for himself and family, to whom he was greatly attached, and he was successful. Whatever he did he did heartily. He served his town faithfully as selectman and town treasurer. While quite young, at near the age of twenty years, he became a convert to Universal salvation, to which faith he strictly adhered through life, often speaking of the perfect trust he felt in the Saviour, and in the decline of life feeling the Everlasting Arm sustained and comforted him, and we are told went to sleep feeling safe in God's hands. For many years he was deacon of the Universalist church. He leaves the record of an honest, upright life, the golden rule being his motto. He was a kind neighbor, a faithful citizen and true friend. He was of a naturally quiet temperament, retiring in his address, never speaking of his sorrows and troubles to other than his dearest friends, never boasting of his successes or attainments. He had a good education and admired it in others. For several years Mr. Colby has been in failing health, being obliged to give up the active work of his farm, and fully realizing that the summons was likely to come at any time calling him away. Yet it came in an unlooked for manner. While going to his door some two weeks previous to his death, and suffering from a dizzy head, he slipped and fell, causing injuries from which his weakened system could not rally, and he died Feb. 27, 1890, aged 81 years and 5 months. While we refer with just pride to those natives of Sutton who, seeking a wider field for their activities, have gone away from the old town and found distinction or attained eminence elsewhere, we do not forget those who have remained here, and labored for the town, and in the town, and have had here their public and private interests. It is fortunate for the town that not all the energy and capability that awakened into life here has gone away and spent itself. Those who have gone out from us and prospered have done well for themselves, and doubtless also for the place and community wherein they located, while those who have labored here have done well for this town. Strong in his convictions of right, acting always from principle and sound judgment, such a man as Johnson Colby asks but very little laudation, but it is impossible that one should be benevolent, liberal, and sympathetic as he has shown himself, and not be gratified at receiving those tokens of appreciation which Mr. Colby has many times received. Mr. and Mrs. Colby celebrated their golden wedding Nov 12, 1889, an occasion which was much enjoyed by themselves and their man friends present, but, as not unfrequently happens after the celebration of a golden wedding or centennial birthday, death has followed on with rapid footsteps.

Major and Surgeon in the Civil War, 3 years. Jonas Colby, M. D. was born, December 20th, 1806, in the town of Henniker, New Hampshire. His parents, Levi and Betsey Colby, were of English descent, and farmers by occupation; with them he remained until the age of eighteen, laboring on the farm and attending the district school during winters. Then he left the farm to devote his time to education, and graduated from the medical department of Dartmouth College, in his native State, in 1829. Immediately after he commenced the practice of medicine and surgery in the town of Bradford, New Hampshire, continuing it for three years. In 1832 he emigrated to Ohio, and located in October of that year at Defiance, where he has pursued the practice of his profession to the present time. In early years he encountered all manner of difficulties and hardships, being the only practising physician for several years within fifty miles of the place. In 1837 the doctor was married to Almira Hull, of Maumee City, who was the first white child born in the Maumee valley. The same year he was appointed Postmaster of Defiance, and served during the administration of Martin Van Buren. At the time the doctor located at Defiance the country was new and inhabited mainly by Indians, who contributed largely to the trade of the town until 1839, when they emigrated West to the Indian Territory, now Kansas, in charge of the Hon. R. A. Forsythe, Agent, Dr. Colby accompanying them as physician and surgeon, having the charge of about 500 for five months without losing an individual. During the same year he was appointed Associate Judge for Williams county, in which office he served five years. The doctor in his early years was an active politician of the Jackson school, though never desiring for himself office, that would interfere materially with the duties of his profession. During the late civil war he supported the administration in such capacity as his health would permit; was Chairman of a military committee during the war; was appointed Examining Surgeon for his county, for exemptions from military duty; was commissioned Military Surgeon with the rank of Major for three years, by Governor Brough, and subsequent to the war was Examining Surgeon for Pensions.
