Marissa Johnson
b. 1848
Daughter of Alexander and Martha.
Marissa was the youngest of Martha and Alexander children. Martha had always dreamed of having a baby girl. When she was born, Martha felt complete. Marissa brought joy to the Johnson family. Marissa had a matter-of-fact personality. She was forthright, honest and wasn’t afraid to point out the obvious. She was also a sensitive child. She, like her aunt Gertrude would rely on her intuition to make informed decisions. She loved wearing a dark navy blue dress with a full petticoat. Her hair was thick and wavy. She seemed like a sweet little girl with fair skin and dark eyes.
