Mr. Buzzell and Mr. and Mrs. John
son are old time residents of Platts
mouth, and the Journal regrets that
riattsmouth must lose such good
citizens as they, but what is our loss
will be a gain for the city to which,
they remove.
Mr. Johnson came to Plattsmouth
fn 1869 when it was but an
Infant city, and could boast of but
one or two brick buildings. For
years he and his brother, J. F. John
son, were contractors and builders,
and had contracts for a great deal of
the carpenter work which was done
in Plattsmouth, and when the frame
buildings along Main street were be
ing replaced with bricks, this firm
placed the fronts in the greater part
of the buildings. Mr. Johnson has
watched the city grow from a town
of wooden store buildings to one of
brick and stone. The Fitzgerald
block, now called the Coates block,
was constructed after Mr. Johnson
was a Plattsmouth citizen.
