John Renfro Johnson, son of Nathaniel F. and Frances [Mon-
tague 386] Johnson, b. Sept. 22, 1838.
He was a Confederate soldier ; was killed in the battle of Thomp-
son's Station, March 5, 1863. His remains were brought home one
stormy night when the driver could only see his way by the lightning
Hash, and were interred in an old family graveyard about three miles
from Clifton. The following was written soon after his death, to his
friends :
"
He was possessed of the most pleasing and winning
manners, ever kind, amiable, and manly, he was known only to be
loved, and among his intimate friends his memory will ever be cher-
ished. The Lord hath given, and the Lord hath taken away, blessed
be the name of the Lord."
" Softly within that peaceful resting place
We lay his wearied limbs, and bid the clay
Press lightly on them till the night be passed,
