CAPITOL—Mon., Tues., Wed, MAY YOHE And Her Bhell-0-Tone Syncopators for a few months and then studied for the ministry under Dr, Chase of Middletown, Mr., Johnson says at this time the First Congregational church was| being erected and due to the bulld- ing of the church the house of a Dr. Cummings was moved to a meadow south of the church and later a road was put through the meadow which was the formation of what s now Church street. There was a large pond where the Stanley Rule and Level manufactur- ing company is now situated. After giving up his pastorate at St. Albans, Capada, Mr. Johnson was appointed probation officer in New Britain. This work was comparative- | ly mnew and Hartford had just insti- tuted a similar branch of work. About this time a meeting of the henevolent socleties of the city was called at the Y. M. C. A, and an organization was formed in which it was possible to get all these societles to work in harmony. This soclety afterwards or George M. Landers and Mayor Joseph M. Halloran, both of whom Mr. Johnson contends were invalu- able in helping this work, the benefits of this soclety stlll continue to exist. Shortly after Mr, Johnson took up the duties of probation officer he was appointed superintendent of charities, and to these duties were added the duties of superintendent of Sunday school in the Baptist church which at that time was sitnated where the National bank building now stands. Mr. Johnson served as probation of- ficer for 12 years and was assisted by $idward C. Connolly, the present pro- bation officer. Since giving up the duties of that office Mr. Johnson has lived a life of study, being particularly interested in gearching back through the records of old towns throughout the state for traces of his early ancestors who are of revolutionary stock.
