Bro. Cuthbert J. Johnson was born on February 24, 1929 in Callahan, Florida to the late Joseph and Prudence Johnson. He was the second of three children born to this union. Cuthbert received his education in the public schools of Callahan (Nassau County), Florida. After graduation, he enlisted in the U. S. Air Force and served until his "Honorable Discharge" in 1960.
