Oke(Jon Johnston, the j'ouugest of the sons, was born on Feb. 4, 1843. Though much against the wish of his parents, he, too, entered the army for three years. He was also a member of the 34th 0. V. I., and one of the Lieutenants of Company A. He was the only one of the three brothers who withstood the hardships of army life, and served his full term of enlistment. His duties were of a miscellaneous nature, as much of the time he was on detail duty. He was an excellent sharp-shooter, and did his countrj' very effective service in this peculiar mode of warfare. After returning from the army he spent about one year in Columbus, in the employ of the Government. In the winter of 1871, he married Miss Kizzie, daughter of John Hill, who was one of the early pioneers of Marion Co., Ohio. Though Mr. Johnston had passed unharmed through many hardfought battles, he was forced at last to give up, and, on Nov. 1, 1876, his death was caused by consumption.

Agnes J. Johnston, the j'oungest of the nine children, was born Aug. 15, 1845. Her early education was received principally at the Bucyrus schools, which she attended until she was 14 ; she then completed her education at the Oberlin College. In early childhood she was hurt so badly while at plaj- as to leave her lamed for life. For several years she has spent most of her time in New York and Jersey City, under the care of the best medical skill of those cities.
