John E. Johnson (Utica)

John E. Johnson of Utica, Wisconsin was an American farmer who served as a Republican member of the Wisconsin State Assembly for 1869 from the 1st Dane County Assembly district (the Towns of Albion, Dunkirk, Rutland, Dunn, Pleasant Springs, Christiana, Cottage Grove and Blooming Grove), succeeding Nelson Williams (also a Republican), who had successfully run for the Wisconsin State Senate. He was not a candidate for re-election, and was succeeded by fellow Republican Carpus Loveland. He is not to be confused with the John A. Johnson from Madison who had served in 1857 from Dane County, the John Johnson who would serve in 1874 from Dane County, or the John E. Johnson from Brandon who would serve four terms in the Assembly in the early 20th century.[1]

Background
