Methodist Church, Jefferson, Iowa, with the Dr. Allen Call officiating.

Dr. Johnson asked that memorials be directed to Hospice of 
North Iowa in Mason City and Genesis Development in Jefferson.    

John Kendall Johnson, Jr., was born Feb. 24, 1903 in Jefferson, Iowa. 
His parents regarded caring for others as a responsibility and a joy, 
and the value they placed on service became in John an element of 
character.  He spent his life as a physician and community servant.    

J.K. Johnson lived most of his life in Jefferson.  He graduated 
from Jefferson High School in 1921 and received his medical 
training at Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine. Upon 
completion of his medical education in 1927, he returned to 
Jefferson to join his father's practice. He was passionate about 
medicine, engaging in active practice for 63 years. Although he 
retired in 1990 after moving to Clear Lake to be closer to....  

He was a member of many local, state and national organizations 
and an officer in most of them. With his wife, Vera, as his 
constant and tireless partner, "Doc" was an energetic promoter 
of Jefferson and his home state. It was as much a measure of his 
vitality as a sign of his commitment to service that after moving 
to Clear Lake at the age of 88, he quickly made a place for 
himself in the community as a volunteer. His work on the Main 
Street Clear Lake effort, the Convention and Visitors Bureau, 
the Board of the Iowa Trolley Park and as the unofficial 
photographer for the Chamber of Commerce, among other 

activities, helped to make him a familiar face in his new home 

town. Though motivated by the great pleasure he found in working 

with people and somewhat ncomfortable with public recognition, 
Dr. Johnson had the good fortune to be recognized and appreciated 
during his life. He received many awards and acknowledgements for 
his professional and volunteer activities. 

He is survived by a daughter Mary Ann Hendricks and her 
husband Dr. James Hendricks; grandchildren Thomas Hendricks 

and his wife, Susan and their children, James and Megan, and 
Dr. John Hendricks and his wife, Kathy, and their nephew, Josh.
