The E.L. "Bud" Johnson family moved to Sharon in June, 1956. They took up
  the dairy farming on the Ted Byers farm, located two miles east and two miles
  north of Sharon. They came to Sharon from Schulte, Kansas, which is the home
  of Mrs. Bud Johnson (Bea).
     When they arrived in Sharon, they had two children, Carl and Carol Jane; 
  after their residence there, they were blessed with another son, Tim, born
  in 1961. The Bud Johnson family was employed in farming until Bud retired in
  1973; he then went to work at Sharon Public Schools as a bus driver and
  maintenance worker. His retirement from this finds him, at this time, working
  at the Louis Dohm farm, just south of the Johnson home.
     The past years have seeen the Johnson family develop in many ways. Bea
  Johnson, after many years working along side her husband on the farm is
  employed with the Social Rehabilitation Service of Barber County.
     The oldest son, Carl, after graduating from WSU, entered the Roman Catholic
  Seminary of St. Thomas in Denver, Colorado, and after five years of training,
  was ordained a priest for the diocese of Wichita; he is presently an assistant
  pastor at the Church of the Magdalen in Wichita.
     The daughter, Carol, is Mrs. Howard McDaniel, resides in Wichita, and has
  two children, Jamie, age 6, and Stacie age 3.
     The youngest son, Tim, is a junior at Sharon High School and is much
  interested in art, speech, and drama.
     The history of the Johnson family has its orgin in Sedgwick County in the
  towns of Schulte and Vioila, from which Mr. and Mrs. Bud Johnson came. This
  heritage is firmly established in German and Swedish roots and a strong
  commitment to their Church of St. Boniface in Sharon.
     Before moving to Sharon, the Johnsons first made their home in Pratt, Kansas
  where son, Carl, ws born; then they moved to Attica, Kansas for a number of years;
  they moved to Schulte for a short while before establishing themselves in Sharon.
     Their pride and love for their home in Sharon is evident in the time and
  effort that they put into the work that is done at their farm in the areas of
  gardening and community activities. This work is fruitful in that the results
  are shared with the larger families of both Mr. and Mrs. Johnson (Bud came from
  a family of 7:, for these families enjoy coming to the peace of Sharon Valley.
     The history of an individual family is so essential to the whole history of
  our nation, and to tell the story of one family would take many pages, but in
  this short space may I say that my family's history has been edged in love.
