Ike Johnson was born on Sept. 23, 1915, in Greenville, Texas, and he moved with his family to the Lone Star community north of Lockney in 1917. He married Lucile Ann Jarboe on Aug. 17, 1932. She and Ike grew up 1/2 mile apart in the Lone Star community. After their wedding in Fort Sumner, NM, they lived in the Lone Star community until the mid-1930s when he started working as a mechanic for Pennington Motors in Lockney. They moved to Plainview in the late 30s where he and his brother, Lavon both worked for Winn Motor Company Ford dealership. During World War II the family moved to Ft.

After the war the family moved back to Lockney where he and his brother, Lavon started Johnson & Johnson Garage in 1946 which remained in the family under the same name for about 65 years. In 1956 he started farming and continued to do so until his retirement in 1978. In his retirement years he and his wife traveled extensively and they were charter members of Central Plains Sams RV Chapter. He was an avid golfer and did intricate needlework until his late 90's. He lived in Floyd County for over 90 years and was recognized as Floyd County Pioneer of the year in 1996.
