1.2.2.1 Harriet Narcissa Johnson  Birth 31 Dec 1827, Manchester, VT Death 16 Sep 1871, On boat on Lake Superior Line (Capt. John, Isaac, Nathaniel, John, Edward, John, John, Leonard.) [p. 57-59] Her father, Leonard Johnson, was a Presbyterian minister, in the days of small salaries. She was the oldest of a family of nine children, and as will be readily seen, the means of support and educating such a family were very limited. Under the inspiration of a father and mother that the children should be devoloped to worthy and able citizens, her position exacted of her work early in life to that end. She was much in the position of a father and mother to the younger ones, and well did she accept and do the duties of a mental and moral director of the eight boys coming after her. If they have gained any position of honor or merit, they give great credit to their elder sister, Narcissa. She was ever active in the struggles of her brothers, and took their burdens as her own. They and her children cherish her memory as that of an active Christian woman, always ready to defend and advocate that which was right. She early learned instrumental music, and when quite young took scholars in piano music. She taught select school in Binghamton and Chenango Forks, N. Y., and so aided the family at a period of failing health of her father. She was married Sept. 10, 1851, a worthy and successful merchant. The family were active in the Congregational Church. During the Civil War their home was headquarters for collecting and preparing articles for the wounded and ssick soldiers in the hospitals and field, and in every enterprise of mercy. Three of her brothers served in the army. There were born to them five sons. It was most of her living and dying desire that her children should be worthy and active citizens. They have achieved success. Her health failed her in the middle of her days. She went to Minneapolis with her son, G. Tracy, a lad of seventeen years, but too late for recovery. Her hussband went for her, and they were on their return when she died on a Lake Superior steamer, Sept. 16, 1871.
