  • Story: Fred And Eva Miller Johnson Family

    <span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif"><div>Fred Johnson lived at Snow Hill Country Club House when he was a small boy.&nbsp; Fred&#39;s parents were asked to take care of the Tavern there.&nbsp; Charles Harris owned the House and needed someone to help with people coming from New York and Pennsylvania to go fox hunting and other people traveling through by stage coach.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Fred and Eva were married at the New Antioch church.&nbsp; Somehow they ended up in the Careytown area because Gma was born&nbsp;on the Good farm at Careytown in 1896.&nbsp; Fred farmed with Evan Good, Ellis&#39;s brother.&nbsp; Mrs. Good (Annie) was a painter; Ellis Good was the president of a bank.&nbsp; Gma was named after Mrs. Good.&nbsp; Mrs. Good developed poor health and so Fred and Eva were asked to move in with the Good&#39;s and Eva cooked and helped with household chores.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Good&#39;s were Hixite Quakers (whatever that is !! :)&nbsp;&nbsp; Interestingly, Mrs. Good drowned herself about a year after the Johnson&#39;s moved.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Anna started school at&nbsp;Hazel College, which was a one room school house.&nbsp; Her brother, Orville, taught her for a month in the first or second grade, then her sister Martha taught her in the 5th and 6th grade.&nbsp;&nbsp;(Martha couldn&#39;t have taught her at Hazel College if they moved to the Snow Hill area when Gma was 7, so maybe that was in the old brick schoolhouse that was on Dervin Road??)<br>&nbsp;<br>Fred and Eva moved in March 1903 to a farm in Snow Hill area.&nbsp;&nbsp;(the current Levo farm)</div><div>&nbsp;<br>After Eva&#39;s breast surgery in 1914, they moved to Main Street in NV and the farm was rented to the Youngs and then to someone else, but Gma couldn&#39;t remember who it was.<br>&nbsp;<br>Fred drove the school horse and buggy wagon.&nbsp; (I think that&#39;s cool!)<br>&nbsp;<br>Anna graduated from NV High School May 14, 1914 and then attended Normal School.&nbsp; After that she taught for 2 years at a school near Blanchester and Cuba.&nbsp; (I think it may have been called Greasy Creek School, established 1883???)<br>&nbsp;<br>After two years of teaching, when she was&nbsp;22, she went to Ohio University at Athens.&nbsp;&nbsp;With her credits from the Normal School she only had to attend for one year to get her diploma.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Anna and Aunt Martha went to Miami University for a summer semester after Anna&nbsp;returned from Athens.&nbsp; Then she&nbsp;taught in Lynchburg for a year, then at NV.&nbsp; (not sure how long)&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>(It&#39;s interesting that all 3 of Fred and Eva&#39;s children had at least some college -&nbsp;their brother Orville, attended Ohio State and eventually lived in the Washington, DC, area and worked for the Department of Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs)<br>&nbsp;<br>Anna&nbsp;lived on Main Street in NV when she met Gpa (William P. Levo) at Grange.&nbsp; First date was June 1917 at &quot;Chantauqua&quot;???? (that&#39;s what the writing looks like, though it may not be accurate)&nbsp; They became engaged in June 1919; he asked her while they were in the horse and buggy on the way to dinner at the Sanders.&nbsp; Married February 14, 1920, at the Methodist Episcopal Parsonage in Wilmington.&nbsp; For their honeymoon they went to Cincinnati by train.<br>&nbsp;<br>When they were first married they lived in NV with Anna&#39;s parents until June, when whomever was renting the farm moved.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>[Informaton supplied by Linda Levo White, great-grand-daughter of Fred and Eva.]&nbsp;</div></span>
