1-4 WHEREAS, A native of Slocumb, Arkansas, Mr. Johnson lived
1-5 most of his life in Rusk County, settling in the community in 1940
1-6 during the development of the East Texas oil field; and
1-7 WHEREAS, He was a valued employee of the Ohio Oil Company,
1-8 which later became Marathon Oil, and was widely respected by his

1-10 knowledge, and after more than 41 years of outstanding service
1-11 retired from the company in 1966; and
1-12 WHEREAS, A deeply patriotic individual, he volunteered for
1-13 naval service during World War II even though he was past the draft

1-15 WHEREAS, He will also be remembered as a man of strong
1-16 religious convictions who contributed to the Lord's work in many
1-17 ways; in 1946 he met with others in his home to organize the

1-20 and served faithfully over the years as a deacon; and
1-21 WHEREAS, Benefiting from his thoughtful guidance, the

2-1 WHEREAS, Mr. Johnson was instrumental in the church's efforts
2-2 to establish the Texas Baptist Institute and Seminary; since its

2-4 has become a vital presence in Christian education; and
2-5 WHEREAS, One of its original trustees, he served the seminary
2-6 faithfully for 43 years until failing health caused him to resign
2-7 in 1991; in recognition of his exceptional tenure, the Calvary
2-8 Missionary Baptist Church elected him trustee emeritus; and
2-9 WHEREAS, Throughout his life's endeavors, Mr. Johnson enjoyed
2-10 the love and support of his wife of 60 years, Jewell Hendrix
2-11 Johnson, who preceded him in death in 1985; and
2-12 WHEREAS, A man of great vision, he devoted much of his life
2-13 to serving his community, and though his presence will be deeply
2-14 missed, his unique spirit will surely live on in the hearts and
2-15 minds of the many people whose lives were touched by this
2-16 exceptional gentleman; now, therefore, be it
2-17 RESOLVED, That the 73rd Legislature of the State of Texas
2-18 hereby pay tribute to the life of Roy Walton Johnson and extend

2-20 Marshall and Lois Johnson McCullar of Henderson, and to the other
