Mr. and Mrs. L. Peter Johnson, who reside over next to the mountain east and to the south of this city, are among those who have enjoyed this blessing for on Saturday last, January 25th, they rounded the half hundred mile stone in their married state. The ceremony which unified Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, was performed in tlie Endowment House at Salt Lake City, on January 25th, 18C9. They have resided in Brigham City since 1854 and lXfil, respectively, so they have assisted in the development and watched the growth of Brigham City from a fort surrounded by a rock and adobe wall, to the present magnificent civic proportions. Mr. Johnson, Uncle Peter as he is affectionately called by scores of his friends, was bom on the island of Bori, holm, a Danish possession, on the 12th day of March, 1844. ..e emigrat ed to America, with his parents, the late John Johnson and wife, in 1853 arriving in Salt Lake City, Utah, on October 8th, 1854 and seven days later he was inside the old fort in this city to make his permanent home. The trip across the plains was mode by ox team and Uncle Peter, a boy of nine years, walked and herded cattle, roughing it with his elders and at the outset, thoroughly enjoying the novel experience. During his residence in Brigham City, Mr. Johnson has been a pioneer in every sense of the term. He helped to build the roads in the canyons; got out logs for lumber wi... which the first houses were built; assisted to construct the irrigating ditches that were the first to lead the water to the thirsty soil; assisted to build the first log house in Plat A of this city; went back to the Missouri River in 1864 to assist the immigrants across the plains; was a member of the police force of the twon for a great many years; served as a school trustee in the early days w'hen each ward was ,a school district; served as a city councilman and street supervisor and in many other positions of public trust. He is a typical and sterling example of the old guard, the men who had to do all the rough work and mingle with all classes of society and yet who enjoyed the most intimate confidence of the great pioneer. President Lorenzo Snow for whom any of them would have laid down their lives. A person needs to converse but a few minutes Johnwith men like Uncle Peter son on topics of early days happenings to detect the deep reverence which still burns in their bosoms for their great leader and friend. This man, and those of his fellows who i j j still survive, have established characters that are like the rock of Gibraltar and their lives point tlie way for the generations that come after, to an honorable, successful and blessed life. Mrs. Johnson was born at Little Pigeon, Pottawatamie County, Iowa, and was the' daughter of the late Patriarch William L. Watkins and his first wife. She trekked across the plains in 1852, arriving at Salt Lake City on the 11th of September. The family located at Cottonwood, where they remained until March, 1861 when they removed to Brigham City arriv ing here on the 14th day of the month It was not many years thereafter, until the moving force of affinity or some greater power brot these two young people together and a delightfullj romantic courtship began in real earnest with the performance of the marriage cermony on January 25, 1869 for Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have been lovers all their days, the affection th't each has for the other today being intensified and refined as though by a million fires, by reason of the many hardships, sorrows and joys which they have unselfishly shared together When the Relief Society was organized in Brigham City.
