Samuel Canton Johnson was the son of George Washington S. Johnson and Beatrice Almeda Anglin of Monroe County, Mississippi.
He married April 27, 1898 in Pickens County, Alabama Miss Helen Billups, a daughter of Alonzo Percival Billups and his wife Ann Elizabeth Kimbrough.
He was a jeweler and operated a shop at 323 Main St. in Columbus. He and his wife Helen lived at 1903 Bell Ave. in Columbus and their home remained in the family until the 1980's.
Samuel and Helen Johnson's daughter, Angie Lucille (Johnson) Mullins, often spoke of her father's death, believing he had a premonition. She said that he repaired a great number of clocks and watches at his business and knew exactly which customer owned which item. She said that just prior to his death her father placed a tag on each clock and watch he had in the shop. On each tag he inscribed the name of the owner and the cost of the repairs he had made. Had he not done that the family would have had great difficulty determining the owners and would likely have lost money on any repairs.
The Johnsons were well respected members of their community in Columbus.
