General Notes: Husband - Charles Crothers Johnson


He was educated in the township schools, Jefferson Academy and Washington and Jefferson College, graduating from the latter with the class of 1893. During his college course he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Immediately after leaving college he was made assistant cashier of the Citizens Bank, limited, and in 1895 he became cashier and continued to fill that office until the Citizens Trust Company was organized, in 1901, when he became secretary and treasurer of this company and continued as such until July 1, 1909, when he became president.

"The Citizens Trust Company of Canonsburg was organized May 1, 1901, taking over the business of the Citizens Bank, limited, a private bank which had been in existence for ten years. The Citizens Trust Company building is a fine four-story pressed brick structure, which was erected in 1904, the lot and building together costing $90,000. The interior of the bank is of birch wood and mahogany finish and the rest of the building is finished in oak. The dimensions are 70x80 feet. The upper floors have been fitted up as residence flats, while on the lower floors, in addition to the bank proper are directors' and officers' rooms, vault and all modern fixtures to ensure comfort, convenience and safety. The institution has been more than successful, paying 6 per cent annual interest. The management has been practically the same since its organization." [TCHWWC, 657]

During the First World War Mr. Johnson was very active in and greatly assisted the Liberty Loan campaigns, as well as every local form of war activity. It seems probable that the heavy work and responsibilities of these years tried too severely a constitution which had never been rugged and brought on the malady which caused his death.
