In the 1860 LaRue County Census, Willis T. Johnson was family 583. He was 37 years old. His wife Mary's age was unclear. The children were: Mary, 11; Rufrsa, 9; Emma, 6; Louisa, 2 years old. Living in the home was William Dobson, 21.

From the LaRue County Herald Feb 12, 1970 in the Looking Back section: Feb 17, 1886: A BOLD BREAK FOR LIBERTY -- Last Sunday Jailer Elliott concluded he could let his "pets" in the cage do without his presence for one day, and went to the country to spend the afternoon with some friends. when he returned he heard considerable racket in the jail - music, singing and dancing. He quietly opened the door, stealthily tiptoed up the steps and peeped in. Cad Goodin was on his heels doing the "Mobile Buck." Simon Perkins occupied the musician's stand, and Dan Hunt was down on his knees with a saw, made of a case-knife, sawing the iron bars of the cage. Mr. Elliott's presence stopped the proceedings. The saw was taken away and the jail was searched closely, but nothing else of a similar nature was found.

(married for 26 years) She is listed as the mother of 7, 6 living children. At home are Edward J., 18; Mary E., 15; and Lucy M., 11.

LaRue County Herald News, Oct 11, 1894: We have in our possession two acorns, which are almost as large as hen eggs. They were brought from near Mt. Sherman by Mr. S. L. Johnson. They are of the Chestnut Oak species and grew on a tree which stands at a point where Green, Hart and LaRue Counties join. So the question may be raised now as to which county the honor of producing such large acorns belongs.

UNDERWOOD HELD TO THE GRAND JURY
The Man Who Shot And Killed Jeff Hash Held To Circuit Court - $2,500 Bond.
Henry Thomas Underwood, charged with killing Jeff Hash, had his examining trial before County Judge W. T. Hendrickson Saturday afternoon. He was held over to await the action of the grand jury under a bond of $2,500. Underwood claims that he acted in self defense when he shot Hash, and the testimony of a number of witnesses who were examined at the trial seemed to justify the claim. It was brought out by several witnesses that Hash went to Underwood's home and started the difficulty which arose between men and caused the killing. The defendant was represented by attorney Abell Harding, while the Commonwealth's interest were looked after by County Attorney Fred Faulkner and Commonwealth's
Attorney J. R. Sanders.
As stated in this paper last week, Underwood shot and fatally wounded Hash at the home of the former, Tuesday night, December 11. Hash died shortly after the shooting. Underwood is a World War veteran and has the reputation of being a peaceable citizen.
