Mason City and Genesis Development in Jefferson.    

John Kendall Johnson, Jr., was born Feb. 24, 1903 in Jefferson, Iowa. His parents 
regarded caring for others as a responsibility and a joy, and the value they placed 
on service became in John an element of character.  He spent his life as a 
physician and community servant.

School in 1921 and received his medical training at Kirksville College of

officer in most of them. With his wife, Vera, as his constant and 
tireless partner, "Doc" was an energetic promoter of Jefferson and 
his home state. It was as much a measure of his vitality as a sign of 
his commitment to service that after moving to Clear Lake at 
the age of 88, he quickly made a place for himself in the 
community as a volunteer. His work on the Main Street Clear 
Lake effort, the Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Board of 
the Iowa Trolley Park and as the unofficial photographer for the Chamber 
of Commerce, among other activities, helped to make him a familiar face in 
his new home town. Though motivated by the great pleasure he found in working
with people and somewhat ncomfortable with public recognition, 
Dr. Johnson had the good fortune to be recognized and appreciated 
during his life. He received many awards and acknowledgements for 
his professional and volunteer activities. 

He is survived by a daughter Mary Ann Hendricks and her husband Dr. 
James Hendricks; grandchildren Thomas Hendricks and his wife, Susan 
and their children, James and Megan, and Dr. John Hendricks and his wife,
