Services were this morning (Tuesday) at First United Methodist Church of Pulaski, of which he was long a member, with Dr. David Miller and the Rev. J. Dallas Bass officiating. Burial was in Maplewood Cemetery with Carr and Erwin Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.
The death of Dr. Johnson ended a long career in medicine that was said to have begun wth his care of animals at his family home near Ardmore, Ala. It was said to have been an injured pig that the 12-year-old boy nurtured to health that first revealed his penchant for medicine.
And his passing also claimed a community booster who was credited with having been something of a pioneer in obtaining badly needed industry for Giles County, a businessman who began as a boy selling eggs and roses to become board chairman of a major local bank.
Dr. Johnson was born in Cairo, Ala., a community just south of Ardmore, in 1890, Upon completion of his local schooling, he entered the University of Tennessee College of Medicine where he graduated in 1914. He was the last surviving member of his college medical class.
Returning to this area, he began his medical practice in McBurg and Cornersville, Tenn., then opened his own private hospital on Jefferson Street in Pulaski in 1929-operating that complex until 1950.
He practiced with the late Dr. J. U. Speer until 1988 and his retirement at age 83. His career spanned treatment of generations of Giles Countians.
Dr. Johnson was among those who traveled to Nashville to convince General Shoe Company to open a manufacturing plant in Pulaski. They were successful and the plant opened here in 1938 and continued in operation until 1986-employing approximately 600 people for much of that period.
And it was Dr. Johnson who joined others in formation of Richland Bank here. The bank opened in 1938 and later became known as the First National Bank of today.

He served as the bank's first president, a position he held upon 1952 when he was named board chairman. He in turn served in that capacity until 1963, then became chairman emeritus which he continued to be until his death Sunday.
Following his graduation from medical college, he served his country in France during World War I, continuing his support for veterans through membership in the American Legion in which he was a lifetime member.
Although he was one of Giles County's most beloved and active citizens, it was through his skills as a doctor that led him to become best known. Announcement of his retirement plans was said have cast a "pall" among the many who had been treated by him.
Throughout much of his medical career, his wife, Covie Johnson, worked at his side as a nurse. She survives.
Extremely active for many years in his profession, he was a member of the Tennessee Medical Licensing Board for 15 years. His many other professional memberships included the American Medical Association, the Southeastern Surgical College, the Tennessee Medical Association and the International College of Surgeons. He also was a member of the Giles County Medical Society.
Dr. Johnson was a 32nd degree Mason, a Shriner and a member of the First United Methodist Church.
Survivors in addition to his wife include two daughters, Geraldine Bell of Nashville and Sybil Blumenberg of St. Louis, Mo.; four grandchildren, Melinda Cherry of Franklin, Mike Bell of Tallahassee, Fla., Lisa and Christy Blumenberg of St. Louis; three great-grandchildren.
Contributions in his honor many be made to the Dr. W. J. Johnson Scholarship Fund at Martin Methodist College or the First United Methodist Church.

MITCHELL, Mabron OBITUARY: The Giles Free Press, 12 Feb 1987
Smoking apparently caused fires that burned two Giles County men to death at their residences Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, investigators said.
Mr. Mabron Mitchell was found dead in his front yard in Pulaski Wednesday morning by his wife.
Police said his death is considered accidental and seemed to be of a "freak" nature. His wife went to the grocery store, and returned home less than an hour later to find her husband's lifeless body in the front yard.
Pulaski Patrolman Layne Roberts, one of the investigating officers, said it appeared Mr. Mitchell's clothing caught fire inside the house and he had run outside where flames raced over much of his body and he collapsed.
Mrs. Mitchell said her husband was on the couch when she left. There was no fire damage to the home. Police surmise the fire may have been the result of smoking.
Mr. Mitchell was retired as former owner of the Pulaski Bakery, which he operated for several years.

The remains of Giles County native Dan Rhea were discovered Friday afternoon in a shallow grave near Columbia in Maury County. Rhea, a Memphis attorney, was last seen 19 months ago, January 27, 1979 as he left his mother's home near Campbellsville at 5:30 p. m. to run an errand, expecting to be back in an hour.
Authorities believe Rhea, who had been shot in the head, was the victim of robbery as he had in his possession $26,000 and only pocket change, a couple of dollar bills, comb, watch, cigarette lighter and cigarettes were found on his body.

Acting on a tip received by Marshall County officials from an informant, Maury County Sheriff Bill Voss, TBI Agents Andrew Earl and Jerry Eubank, Marshall County Sheriff Danny McDaniels, and Dr. William Bass, the head of the University of Tennessee's Anthropology Department, with two assistants Steve Symes and Pat Wiley, all went to a bean field off Iron Bridge Road in Mauy County, approximately 100 yards outside Columbia's city limits in search of the body. Using a front end loader to dig, the men chose a spot at random and started digging after glasses, believed to be Rhea's were found near a clump of trees. After three scrapes, the loader operator, Jimmy Campbell, unearthed a section of hand. For the next three hours small hand tools and brushes were used to uncover the remains, which had been buried approximately 12 inches of dirt. The remains were taken to Memphis on Saturday where Dr. Jim Bell, assistant medical examiner will perform an autopsy.
All evidence collected at the gravesite will be turned over to District Attorney General Bob Gay for further investigation. No arrests have been made at this time.
Rhea's car was found February 3 in the Maury County Hospital parking lot where officers believe it had been left on the night he was murdered. Money wrappers were also found in the car. Rhea had come to Giles County to visit his mother and to go to a family reunion in Nashville the following day, January 28.
Daniel F. B. Rhea, 35, was the son of the late Giles County General Sessions Judge David Rhea, Jr. and Mrs. Louise Rhea of the Campbellsville community. He was a Giles County High School graduate and received his undergraduate and law degree from U. T. in Knoxville. For a brief period he was associated with the Pulaski law firm of Wade and Forrester and then moved to Nashville working for the University of Tennessee office of General Counsel.
While the body found has not been officially identified as that of Rhea, officials are "99 and 44 one-hundreths percent sure it's him." Clothing on the body matches those Rhea was wearing when last seen, a cross given to Rhea by a friend was identified, and x-rays of pins in Rhea's leg were identical to x-rays made of the body, Friday afternoon.
