Trace History OI City's Founder 'Aa ' Interesting story was uncovered recently during an eastern trip by Mrs. O. D. Buckles of Fox street, McHenry, who visited for^the first time the home community of her great great grandfather, who founded Johnstown, Pa. She found in the square a statue dedicated to him in 1913 and the Joseph Johns junior high school dedication stone in 1925. Joseph Johns I came to this country when he was 19 years old and purchased 247 acres of land from William Penn's son, upon which he built a log house in 1794. He cleared timber and laid punter, out the town of Johnstown, receiving a charter for the village on Nov. 4, 1880. He gave land for churches, schools, public buildings and amusements, all of which were to remain tax free. Later he moved to Davidstown, a few miles away, and built a farm home on the side of a hill, where to this day a member of the family by the name of Joseph Johns has always lived. Joseph Johns IV and Joseph Johns V reside there at the present time. Records at the library show that although the town was completely destroyed by the flood of '89, the town was rebuilt in the same manner, with churches, schools and public buildings In the same location. Mrs. Buckles was called in to the office of a Chicago newspaper for information regarding Joseph Johns I. It was said that although he was short of stature--only 6 ft. 6 in.--he had tremendous energy and courage and was ft great He wrote several books On tl>e persecution of Christians which are still in the vault at the National Dank.
