| 词条 | Murder of Elisha G. Johnson |
| 释义 |
Florida Senator Elisha Graham Johnson was born in North Carolina on January 11, 1839.[1] He was one of thirteen children of Henry Johnson and Phoebe Hall.[2] During the Civil War, he served with the Confederate 69th North Carolina Infantry and rose to the rank of Major.[3] He moved to Florida after the war. He was a Deputy Collector for the Office of Internal Revenue.[4] Elected to the Florida Senate, he was allied with the Republican (liberal) faction, at that point tied with conservative Democrats, 12-12. The tie was broken by the July 21, 1875 murder of Johnson while searching for a still, approximately 10 miles from Fernandina, Florida.[4] Another source says had Johnson had "just closed his general store in Lake City and was walking home when an assassin killed him. That broke a 12-12 stalemate in the state Senate between the Republicans and the Conservatives."[5] Another source says he was killed "at his turpentine facility near his home in Lake City, Florida."[3] A suspect was arrested and charged with murder approximately two months later.[4] The outcome is not known. He was survived by his wife Jennie Royal[2] and his father and is buried in Bosque Bello Cemetery in Fernandina Beach, Florida.[3]. A different source says "he was survived by his wife Eliza, who died in 1921 and is buried in the same plot."[3] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Elisha Graham Johnson|accessdate=June 4, 2018|publisher=findagrave.com|url=https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/55370444/elisha-johnson}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|title=Elisha G Johnson (1839–1875)|publisher=ancestry.com|url=https://www.ancestry.com/genealogy/records/elisha-g-johnson_85177691|accessdate=June 4, 2018}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|title=Stories from Bosque Bello The lives they led...
