    Notes:

    PAULINE ISABEL JOHNSON
    Pauline was born on February 6, 1912, the first child of Sidney and Ruth Rogers Johnson. She was an impish and comical girl whose sweet nature enabled her to get away with her pranks. Two particular incidents which are still remembered involved some stones in the gas tank of the saw engine and little sisters terrified by being chased with a snake on the end of a hoe. She was an industrious girl nonetheless, and always did her chores willingly. As a teenager, she relieved her mother of all of her sewing work and made dresses for her little sisters and for the ladies of Dendron. She graduated from Dendron High School and continued to help around the house until her marriage on August 9, 1941, to Thomas Linwood Gofer, an industrious local farmer. They moved to his farm nearby and had two children, Malcom Thomas (1943) and Alice Ruth (1946). They were successful farmers until Linwood's death in 1977 Pauline underwent major surgery for a brain tumor in 1975 from which she recovered admirably. She still lives on her farm near Dendron and enjoys visits from her daughter, son and his wife, and grandson.

    Pauline married GOFER Thomas Linwood on 9 Aug 1941. Thomas died in 1977. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

  13. 16.  JOHNSON Edna Marion Descendancy chart to this point (3.Ruth2, 1.William1) was born on 12 Sep 1918; died in 1996.

    Notes:

    EDNA MARION JOHNSON
    Edna was Sidney and Ruth's second child and she was born on September 12, 1918. She was a good and sweet little girl and she worked to help her mother with the chores. She studied the piano and played it well. She was the last of the children to leave home and helped care for her father until his death in 1942. She moved to Newport News and worked in the shipyard during the war, living with her younger sister, Katherine. She met James W. Watt, Jr., and they were married on January 20, 1945. Jim was from Michigan and when he was discharged from the Army they moved there, settling in Allen Park. They had three children; David Alexander (1945), James Sidney (1946), and Ruth Helen (1948). Edna and Jim still live in Allen Park, have several grandchildren, and occasionally make trips to Virginia to visit relatives and friends.

    Edna married WATT James W., Jr. on 20 Jan 1945. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  14. 17.  JOHNSON Katherine J.JOHNSON Katherine J. Descendancy chart to this point (3.Ruth2, 1.William1) was born on 12 Dec 1919 in Dendron, Surry County VA; died on 25 Feb 2012; was buried on 28 Feb 2012 in Newport News, VA.

    Notes:

    She was born on Dec. 12, 1919, at Marl Spring Farm near Dendron in Surry County, to Sidney Thomas Johnson and Ruth Ella Rogers. She graduated from Dendron High School, in 1937, and moved to Newport News to live with relatives, attend business school, and work in retail. She married Erwin A. Fox Jr., there in 1941 and they were together for 58 years until his death in 2000. The last of nine children, she was a very active child and her father said that she was, "as tough as a lightwood knot."
    The Foxes lived in Sussex Hilton, Wythe, North Hilton, Riverside, and Maxwell Gardens, until they moved to their dream home on Chisman's Creek, in Seaford in 1965. Summers there were memorable; filled with boats and innumerable fish and crabs. As their three boys finished school, Katherine went to work for years as a photo archivist at the Mariners' Museum. From 1995 until his death in 2000, she tirelessly cared for her husband at home during his struggles with Alzheimer's disease. She was a devoted and loving wife and mother and a best friend to many.

    ........................................................................
    From the Johnson Book:

    KATHERINE GLADYS JOHNSON
    Katherine was born on December 12, 1919, the last child of Sidney and Ruth Johnson. She and her sister, Edna, seemed like twins and sometimes got into trouble pulling up plants and wading in the hog wallow. Katherine was something of a tomboy, always climbing trees and barns, and she was so tough that her father called her a "lightwood knot." She graduated from Dendron High School in 1938 and moved to Newport News to live with her mother's sister, Grace. She worked at Woolworth's and attended business college at night, then took a secretarial job at the shipyard. She met Erwin Adler Fox, Jr., and they were married on August 30,

    Their first son, William Adler (1943) was born while Erwin was at sea with the United States Merchant Marine and they had two more sons, Stephen Allen (1946) and Sidney Jay (1950). After the boys were grown, Katherine went back to work as a photo researcher at the Mariner's Museum. Katherine and Erwin now enjoy life at their waterfront home in Seaford which is frequently visited by children and grandchildren.
