February 3, 2021
In the mid 1800s, Midland welcomed one of the first black residents in the community, who over time, became the first barber in the area.
“His story is really like a legend in Midland,” says Betty Jones, a local historian in Midland County.
In the 19th century, people from all across the United States moved to Midland to work in the lumber mill.
One of those people was 19-year-old John Johnson, who had just served in the Civil War.
“It’s an interesting story I think of how a community development over time. Midland has a story, the Johnson’s are part of the beginning of that,” says Jones.
