P. C. Johnson
Killed by Indians
At Johnson Peak
1859
This man was burned at the stake on top of Johnson Peak just south of Iredell. He had a small son as the story goes who his and got away. The boy escaped and went to Meridian during the night. I climbed to the top of this peak 20 years ago there are two very large at least 4-6 foot long boulders on top of it. My Dad had told me that, as a young boy, he could lay on those flat rocks with binoculars and see his dad milking 6 miles away. I'm sure some of the old timers down there could give you a better story than I.
