Harold Edward Johnson was born to Carl and Gerda (Clauson) Johnson on the family homestead 10 miles south of Dupree, SD on May 2, 1919. He attended a neighborhood country school until completion of the eighth grade. Harold began farming and ranching with his father along with working for the soil conservation service until enlisting in the US Navy in April of 1942. He served in the Pacific Theater of Operations until October of 1945. Harold returned to the home and continued farming and ranching with his father. In 1945 he again started working for the farm programs as a range inspector which consisted mainly of staking stock water dams throughout Ziebach County.
In 1953 he was elected to the Ziebach County ASCS Committee. He served for 21 years; 20 as the chairman. On October 20 1956 he married Neoma Bierman at Belle Fourche, SD. Together they bought the ranch from Harold's folks in 1960 and operated it along with their son Dale until Neoma's death and failing health forced Harold to move to Edgewood Vista in Spearfish, SD in December 2008. He was a resident there until November of 2012. Harold then became a resident of the Golden Living Center in Rapid City, SD until his passing on December 14, 2012.
Grateful for having shared in his life are his four sons and their spouses, Mark and Carolyn, Bismarck, ND; Doug and Brenda, Piedmont, SD; Richard "Dick" and Pam, Wall, SD; Dale and Debra L., Dupree, SD; two sisters and their spouses, Viola and Everett Shrader, Arvada, CO and Carol and Leon Pope, Eureka, KS; nine grandchildren, four great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. Harold was preceded in death by his parents Carl and Gerda, his wife Neoma and one granddaughter, Ellen.
