HISTORY: Reminiscences of Madeline Johnson of Placer County, California (daughter of Frank Ellis Johnson) recorded in 1973 by her nephew Kenneth L. Duncan. Frank Johnson married Ada Laub at Villa Grove in 1893, owned and operated a livery stable and freight company at Villa Grove, Colorado. They lived along side a creek, grandpa went fishin in the evenings for fish. He worked also for the Denver Rio Grande Railroad as a Fireman, prior to and after his marriage to Ada Laub. They moved to Leadville before the birth of their first child Anis in 1894. At Leadville Frank delivered water for his employer a Mr. Murray. Anise died at the age of 7 and is buried at Leadville. About 1901 the family moved to Saguache where Frank worked for his brother Biege Johnson who owned a large cattle ranch. Greatgrandfather Johnson stayed with Frank and Ada at the ranch at Saguache. Madeline believes he and Grandmother could be buried at Villa Grove, Leadville or Saguache. At the ranch Frank trained horses. The picture shows the registered horse "Couches" valued at $10,000., the year 1909. This horse kicked Frank Johnson broke his jaw left a scar visable untill death. Margaret, Lee and Dru were born there. About 1910 Frank and Ada moved back to Leadville and grandfather Frank Johnson returned to his old job delivering horsedrawn water door to door as no water system had been installed. About 1916 the family moved to Eureka, Utah where he was a carpenter at Bingham Canyon, Utah. About 1917, grandpa took his family to Hayden, Arizaona and then to Santa Anna, California.
