Mary Josiephine Johnson was born July 4, 1947, in Glenwood, Pope County, Minnesota, the daughter of James Myron and Norma Jannet (Thorson) Johnson. She was baptized on July 27, 1947, at Rolling Forks Lutheran Church in Pope County. She was confirmed on November 4, 1962, by Rev. Sucher at Our Redeemer’s Lutheran Church in Benson. Mary grew up in Rolling Forks Township in Pope County and Benson and graduated from Benson High School Class of 1965.
