JOHNSON, JULIUS W. (1941- 1980)Johnson 11th Traffic Fatality
The traffic toll for Warren County continued to climb as a 39-year-old Mauzy Street resident died Wednesday morning of injuries suffered late Tuesday afternoon in a crash near Warren County General Hospital at the city limits on Highway 70 East. Dead is Julius W. Johnson of 137 Mauzy Street who died at 9:40 a.m. Wednesday in the hospital of what was believed to have been internal injuries suffered in the 5:45 p.m. Tuesday mishap. According to Patrolman Kenny Taylor, Johnson was driving a 1972 Ford van in an eastwardly direction when a 1972 Chevrolet operated by auto salesman Virgil Denton, pulled from the J.E. Johnson dealership into the highway. Taylor speculated that the afternoon sun may have been a factor in the accident. Both cars were a total wreck, Taylor said. He said Johnson showed no external signs of injury and at the scene was attempting to aid the 74-year-old Denton. The latter was evacuated to Baptist Hospital in Nashville where he was reported in satisfactory condition in the intensive surgical care unit with two fractures of his left arm, facial, neck and rib injuries. Ptl. Taylor said he had been at police headquarters catching up with some of his paperwork when dispatcher Aubrey Greer verbally notified him of the wreck and as a result there was no radio traffic. Too, he said, the victims were only a short distance from Warren County General and River Park Hospitals.
Johnson became the 11th 1980 traffic fatality for Warren County but the first within the city limits.
Mr. Johnson, a self-employed carpenter, plumber and electrician, was a native of DeKalb County and a member of the Victory Free Will Baptist Church. He was married to the former Janice Thrower and was a son of the late Julis W. Johnson, Sr. and Mrs. Minnie Lea Roller Johnson of McMinnville. In addition to his wife and mother, he is survived by a son and daughter, James Henry Johnson and Tammy Marie Johnson; six sisters and four brothers, Joyce Vaughn, Ruby Zeller, both of McMinnville; Virgie Mantooth of Detroit, Agness Greenwood of Baltimore, Reva Wyatt of Kentucky, Mildred Hacket of Pomona, Calif.; Tony Tittsworth of McMinnville, Houston Cantrell of Dalton, Ga,; Elmer and H.D.
