Johnson

The James W.  Johnson family arrived in 1910 to homestead property south of Glenrio, New Mexico, arriving with 2 teams of horses and wagons from Pilot Point, Texas.  In 1910 there was still land available for homesteading.  James Johnson his daughters and son's filed on property that eventually led to a ranch of several hundred acres.   The Johnson family raised milk cows for milk production that was taken to the Glenrio train siding and shipped to Amarillo, Texas.  The actual paper milk caps for the bottles were stored in the ceiling of the house.  In recent times the ceiling collapsed strewing hundred of the caps on the floor.  The property is still referred to as the "Old Johnson Place" by the locals.
