Mrs. Jackson Johnson dies in St. Louis

Mrs. Minnie Wooten Johnson, widow of Jackson Johnson, the first president and the first chairman of the board of International Shoe Company, died at her home in St. Louis Dec. 1. Mrs. Johnson, who was 98, died from infirmities of old age. She was born in 1858, in Holly Springs, where the beginnings of what was to become the International Shoe Company, had its start. Her life covered that vast period of industrial development in America that started just before the War Between the States. She was an honorary member of the Holly Springs Garden Club and always opened Montrose, her lovely antebellum home in Holly Springs, during the annual Pilgrimage. She had given the club her mother’s parlor furniture, two lovely oil portraits and several gifts of money. When the old library burned, her donation of $500 was one of the first received.
