Employment:
Asa, as a young boy, worked in the Rogers' family stores. One the old store in Spring Grove is no longer standing. The Rogers family owned several stores. One at Carsley and one at Spring Grove were two of them. Ramey, who was related to the Rogers family also owned a store.

Asa Bernard Johnson worked in the Rogers Store on Carsley road (corner of Carsley and Otterdam Roads) across the road from Carsley United Methodist Church when he was young. This store was owned by Asa's mother (Mahala Elizabeth Rogers') family. While working at the store, Asa wrote arithmetic equations and signed his name in several places on the plaster wall of the building behind the store. Rogers Store at the corner of Carsley and Otterdam Roads has been restored and is open as a museum. The signatures of Asa Bernard Johnson can be seen on the wall. At the present, there are numerous store ledgers still existing with many family names and what they purchased. Call the Surry County Historical Society to view the store and its many interesting contents.

A portrait painted by Asa's grand daughter, Brenda Johnson Duckwall, of Asa's father, David Peyton Johnson (husband of Mahala Elizabeth Rogers), hangs in the store.


He later owned a grocery store on Grove Avenue in Petersburg, Virginia.

note: per Doris Jean Goodrich Johnson this store was owned by Nora Rogers when Doris Jean was a child) and was on Rt.10 Rt.40 NW side at Spring Grove in the triangle. 2 story with an attached wharehouse type building.

Asa Bernard Johnson and his wife Nelie were very generous and kind people especially evident during the Depression Years. Asa was not much concerned with making a profit from his store. He frequently let people have food "on credit" whether or not they could pay him back. They also took people into their modest home at 303 Lafayette Avenue in Colonial Heights.
