Newspaper Obituary (10)
Boone County, Kentucky Genweb Page
Submitted by Polly A. Menendez. Copied 9 Dec 2001
"Cave Johnson departed this life at his residence, at North Bend, Boone
Co, Kentucky, on the 19th day of January, 1850, in the 90th year of his age.
Sound and firm of constitution and health, endowed with strong common sense,
sedate and thoughtful, taciturn and slow of speech, the deceased possessed much
individuality and originality of character andwas a good specimen of that
hardy, vigorous and manly class of men, the pioneers ofKentucky. When he
immigrated to Kentucky, it was a wilderness, whose rich soil andproductiveness made it
the common property and general battlefield, not only of the wolf,the
panther, and the buffalo, but of the equally wild and savage Indian. The white man
came to "the dark and bloody ground" and in a few years the contest for the
dominion was over,-the howl of the wolf, he cry of the panther, and the yell of
the Indian were heard no more. For more than seventy years Col. Cave has been
an inhabitant and citizen
of Kentucky. But of the connection of the deceased with the early settlement
of our state or with the active and busy scenes of subsequent times, it is
not our purpose here to write. The sketch of his life, written by himself, and
furnished us but a few months before his
death must suffice. In politics Col. Johnson was ever a Democrat. In
religion he was a Baptist and had been a consistent and zealous member of that
church for more than fifty years. He also took great interest in the spreading of
the gospel, and contributed liberally to the support of foreign and home
missions. A short time before his death he prepared the following narrative,
written in his own steady plain business hand:
(see Reminiscences From the Life of Col. Cave Johnson at Cave's Cove)
He was a member of the Sand Run Baptist Church in Boone Co, Kentucky.(1) He
served in the military in the Civil War, Virginia Line as a Private. (9)

survived).
