David, who lives on a farm in Sweden; and John, deceased. The daughter died young.
Israel Johnson, the subject of this sketch, was reared and schooled in Sweden, where he worked on a farm for seven years. In Octo- ber, 1864, 'he left Sweden, came to America, and settled at Moline, Illinois. On April 2.4, 1868,-in company with Eric and Martin Olson and Andrew Hansen,-he moved to Oswego, Kansas. He took up the southeast quarter of section 10, township 33, range 18. which is his present home. He also owns land in section II, and has, in all, 400 acres of valu- able land. He brought some money with him to Labette county, but as his health failed him for a year, he had little to start farming with. In company with his three partners on the trip, and Mr. Loose and Mr. Lawley, he located on the site of what is now the town of Mound Valley. Mr. Johnson helped to dig the first well in that town. In those days provisions were obtained from Fort Scott. Five days were required to make the trip. Mr. Johnson sold his first products at Oswego. He has a fine supply of water on his farm, as Pumpkin creek runs through the tract. The farm is bordered by native timber,-walnut, hickory and elm. He obtained the logs for his first building from Timber Hill. The flooring came from the sawmill located between Oswe- go and Montana. The present, large eight- room house and numerous outbuildings were erected about twenty-four years ago. Mr. Johnson sometimes rents a part of his land, and at other times farms and manages all of it. He is thoroughly posted on all agricultural matters, and is one of the best farmers in the state.
Mr. Johnson was married, in Oswego, to Mattie Sandberg, who was born in Sweden, in 1848. The ceremony was performed by a

HISTORY OF LABETTE COUNTY
Presbyterian minister, Rev. Mr. Monfort, of Oswego, who was a friend of the bridegroom, Five children were the result of this union, namely : Ellen, the wife of Emanuel Oakleaf, of Mound Valley township; Charles, who mar- ried Dora Wilford, and lives on a farm south of that of the subject of this sketch; and Will- iam, Harry, and Minnie, who are at home.
Mr. Johnson is a Republican in politics. He has been a member of the Mound Valley school board, District No. 40, for some time. He is a Presbyterian, but attends the United Brethren church at Mound Valley. There is no better known or more highly respected farmer in Labette county than this gentleman, and his friends are many. He is always a willing helper in any public enterprise, and is one of the most progressive men in Mound Valley township.
A J. BARNES* is a well-to-do farmer of Labette county, Kansas, and is located in Hackberry township. He was born in New York State in 1831, and is a son of Ira Barnes.
Ira Barnes was born in New York, and followed farming throughout his entire life. He married Elizabeth Carnegie, also a native of New York, and they became the parents of
seven children, as follows: Maria; Bertha, de- ceased; A. J., the subject of this biographical record; Coral; Alfred; E .; and Mary, de- ceased.
A. J. Barnes lived in his native state until he was twelve years old, when he went west, to Kane county, Illinois, where he resided until 1859. He then went to Colorado and Cali- fornia, and spent the most of the following nine years there, after which he located in La- bette county, Kansas, in November, 1868. He first settled in Chetopa, and then, in 1869, took as a claim the southwest quarter of sec- tion 4. township 35, range 20, in Hackberry township. He greatly improved his claim, built a cabin 12 by 20 feet, in size, and resided here until 1873. He then went to the western part of Kansas, and was in the cattle business for a period of nine years. Upon the expira- tion of that time, he returned to Labette coun- ty, in 1882, and located upon his present home farm, the south half of section 5, township 35, range 20, in Hackberry township. He built a fine two-story frame house in 1885, in which he has since lived. He now owns an entire section of land in Hackberry township, rent- ing most of his land. He has been a hard working, industrious man, and well merits the success which has attended his efforts. In politics, he is a sturdy supporter of Republican principles.
