F.rrol Flynn
Johnstown Visitors
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Frans as
compamed by their little boy, Ru
fus Clinton pa»d the Reporter of
fice a pleasant visit Monday.
Mr. Frans is 81 years old. Lit
tle ilul'us is four, yes, 4, thatV
what we said.
Mr. Frans has be'-i married
twice and has two acts of child
ren. Rufus is the i.itetl edition.
Mr. Frans tells us t'l.it JoM.s
town is flourishing aa i .nay vet
attain to the city capacitiM whi
it was intended to have at the
start when the United States Geo
logical Survey planted a stone
and named the cross-roads Johns-
town. ]
That was some years ago when '
the f. deral survey was working 1
in this section. There was some
heated discussion over the name
of the town to be selected, as
Henry Wright wanted to call ii.
after his ancestors and Mr. Frani,
bless your heart, also had the
same ambition.
j They all sat down en a stump
and began to consider the thin:?,
and Henry called over a few of
his relatives and it was found
that 7»» of them had gone by the
nam? of John. Mr. Frans, not to
' be outdone, proceeded to produce
evidence that there were some
Johns in his family history, too,
and after counting 136, the sur
veyors decided to compromise by
' naming the town Johnstown
which seemed appropriate and
satisfactory all around.
i
I But the controversy got the
neighborhood excited, everybody
I expecting a city to spring up
soon.
It is stated we on'y speak
from hearsay- that Mr. Frans
* went to the legislature and got a
charter for Johnstown and haJ
himself named mayor, and that
Joe Hill and Ed Smith got into a
little difficulty as to whom should
1 be chief of police.
f "
At any rate, Johnstown still
has all the opportunity in the
world from a fine back country
and an excellent citizenship of
1 becoming yet a great city.
