William Johnson, formerly of Berkeley Springs, died Friday, September 23 in Manhassett, N.Y. A member of one of Morgan County's oldest families, he was born in Berkeley Springs January 28, 1909, a son of Ernest L. and Jeanette Slayman Johnson. Several generations of the Johnson family occupied the ancestral home on North Washington Street built by Johnson's grandfather, John William Johnson, and occupied last by his mother, Mrs. Ernest Johnson. It was purchased from the Johnson family by the Town of Bath and has become the town's municipal building. He was graduated from Berkeley Springs High School and owned and operated Berkeley Springs only theatre. He was assistant cashier at Citizens National Bank and a member of the Berkeley Springs Young Men's Business Club which produced the Tomato Festival. He was a member of St. Mark's Episcopal Church and served with the U.S. Navy during World War II. His wife, the former Kathryn Taylor, Of Minneapolis, Minn., preceded him in death. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. John C. Hawkins, of Manhassett, and three granddaughters. A daughter, Mrs. Barbara Taylor Kipe, preceded him in death, as did his only brother, Atty. Lewis E. Johnson, of Fairmont. Funeral services were conducted Monday, September 26, at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Berkeley Springs by Rev. Jack O. Bird, with burial in Greenway Cemetery. Arrangements were made by the Hunter Funeral Home. The family suggests that memorial contributions be made to the St. Mark's Episcopal Church Altar Guild in Berkeley Springs.
