"Henry Johnson died on February 25, 1874, at the age of 64. On March 26, 1874, the Jonesborough Herald and Tribune gave a lengthy obituary. It started in part: 'Eighteen years ago Johnson located in Johnson City, where he has since remained a prominent and respected citizen. He was the first citizen of this place and to his influence, untiring energy and undaunted courage does Johnson City owe its origin ascribing to him the honor so justly inherited of proudly bearing his name.The respect, universal regret, and sorrow manifested on his burial day, was unlike any that we have here witnessed previously and told plainly that he was beloved and respected by all who knew him."11Lester Moore, Lester Moore Collection, from the East Tennessee Historical Dept.

"He was buried in the old "Hoss Graveyard" in what is now Carnegie, but later removed to Oak Hill Cemetary, where a monument was erected. He was married in 1834 to May Ann Hoss, who was born here September 18, 1811, and died in Johnson City (ember)r 2, 1888. My guess is Nov.. Need to find the complete uncut article, or another source to confirm death date."
