Leonard
B. Johnson was a physician who was born on June 9, 1867 and died
November 28, 1962. He was the son of
Uriah &
Clarissa (Sherkley) Johnson. He and his wife are both buried at St. Joseph RCC Cemetery. On January 19, 1897 in Washington, D.C. he married
Mary Edith "Mamie" Morgan (b. December 15, 1873, d. February
9, 1958) of Friendly Hall, Helen, Md. and Georgetown D.C. However,
the The Beacon, (January 21, 1897)
issue has them being married at Friendly Hall, Helen, Maryland.
They had no children by 1910.
Regina
Combs Hammett in her book on the
"History
of St. Mary's County"
has this piece on Leonard:
Dr. Leonard Barthalomew Johnson
History of St. Mary's County

p. 247
The June 1, 1911, Beacon reported the purchase of an I.H.C.
automobile by Dr. L. B. Johnson who had also recently finished
"his handsome new residence on his Morganza farm."
It
is believed in my family that Dr. Johnson Road in St. Mary's County is
named after Doctor Leonard B. Johnson.
