| William and Joseph Johnson had received
the property from their father, William Johnson, in the late
1950's after he died. This William Johnson was born in 1869
in Russia, as the son of a soldier in the Czar's Army. When
William Johnson emigrated to America, he worked at a large truck
farm which covered much of Branford Hills. After saving his
money, he bought the current Johnson Farm at the end of Queach
Road. There, he ran a big truck farm of his own, plowing with
draft horses (remembers his grandson, Frank Ifkovic). The grandfather
also had apple and peach orchards. The land on which most of
the homes along Pasture Lane are built, used to be a peach orchard. |
