Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) was one of the leading literary figures of eighteenth-century England. He is best remembered for compiling the first comprehensive dictionary of the English language, published in 1755. Prominent among his diverse other works are the satirical History of Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia (1759), The Dramatic Works of William Shakespeare (1765), and his edition of Prefaces, Biographical and Critical, to the Works of the English Poets (first collected in 1781). He wrote the bulk of the essays released in periodical form as The Rambler (1750-1752) and The Idler (1758-1760).

A native of Lichfield, Johnson attended Oxford in 1728 and 1729, but left without receiving a degree. He married the widow Elizabeth Porter (1688-1752) in 1735; they had no children together. Johnson resided primarily in London from 1737 onward, although he continued to maintain a house in Lichfield. He received an honorary M.A. from Oxford in 1755, and honorary LL.D. degrees from Trinity College, Dublin in 1765 and from Oxford in 1775. He supported himself modestly from his literary endeavors until being granted an annual pension in 1762. He was memorialized in James Boswell's The Life of Samuel Johnson, LL.D. (1791), generally regarded as an early landmark of the biographical craft.

Samuel Johnson was born in Denmark around 1863. He was living in Dunn County, Wisconsin, in 1884, and in Hammond, Wisconsin, in 1885. He may also have lived at one time in Iowa Falls, Iowa. Johnson came to St. Paul in 1886. City directories indicate that he worked from the 1890s through the 1910s as a teamster, and later as a "stereotyper" and stenographer for West Publishing Company (1920s-[ca.1931]). Long active in local Socialist Labor Party organizations, Johnson served as treasurer (of the St. Paul section?) in the 1900s and 1910s and as state secretary in the 1930s and 1940s.

Johnson married Thyra Jorgenson ([ca.1870]-1953) on September 27, 1908. A daughter, Clara Anne-Marie, was born to the couple on October 30, 1909. A son, Earl, was evidently born later. Clara married Gordon Hauerwas (1909-1973) in 1951, and they for many years made their home in Roseville, Minnesota, a St. Paul suburb.
