Martin Johnson
BROUGHTON News
June 16th
One of N.S. Daugherty's little boys was drowning Sunday afternoon in Blake's
mill pond, when Martin Johnson, a negro, happened on the scene and leaped into
the water just as the boy was going down the third time, and saved him. This
makes two white boys that Johnson has saved from drowning. He surely deserves
one of the Carnegie hero medals.
