The Johnsons |
|
|
|
The Johnson family came from Scandinavia in 1901 and settled on some land along the west side of Larkfield Road where they built a house and raised their large family. |

When the Johnson's came to Commack in 1901 they lived on Larkfield Road where they built their first house for $6.000 and started a farm. |

There were a number of boys in the Johnson family and they all became farmers in the area. One of the sisters, Edna, became a school teacher here. |

When they were all grown the brothers helped each other with their farms which went from Jericho Turnpike to Clay Pitts Road along Larkfield Road. |

|
Their hard work in the fields paid off and with the help of an Italian family that came out every summer one of their truck loads of crops is ready. |
