Craft Masonry in Albany County, New York - Onondaga and Oswego ...

Dr. Johnson was a man of honor and strict integrity. Truthfulness in all relations and conscientiousness were in him marked
features. As a physician he was ever ready to respond with cheerfulness to all demands made upon his professional skill. The sick,
whether in homes of plenty or want, received from him patient care and faithful service. He befriended the unfortunate in the liberal
spirit of the Samaritan. Of modest and agreeable demeanor, his presence was ever welcome in the sick-room, and the success of
his ministrations is attested by a multitude of sorrowing patients.

therein; that he now enjoys good health and hopes that condition will continue.
