On the 18th of June 1958, John married Maggie Mae Arnoldus. She was born 19 Dec 1886 in Lafayette, Lynn, Illinois, the daughter of John Edward Johnson and Laura Celia Flora Binge. While still a young girl her parents moved from Illinois to San Diego, Calif. They thought perhaps the move would improve the father's failing health in a warmer climate.

Here Maggie met and married Leon L. Johnson. He converted her to the Gospel and she was baptized 15th of Sept. 1914. To this union there were two daughters and four sons born and she instilled into them the principles of truth and right. During the years of raising their family, the husband and father worked for the San Diego Fire Department. Then at time of retirement they moved to Mesa, Arizona where they called and set apart as Temple Workers at the Mesa Temple and which they worked faithfully and diligently at for ten years. In Jan. 1946 her husband passed away and was buried at San Diego, Calif.

Maggie Mae continued to work in the Temple where she met and married Dr. Carl Arnoldus on 27 Oct. 1946. They enjoyed some seven years at Mesa until the Dr. died in Jan 8, 1954.

Now Maggie was lonely to be near some of her children so she moved to Draper, Utah where some of them lived. She had previously met John V. Johnson at Mesa, and their acquaintance was renewed at Salt Lake Temple where they were both doing work and they married in 1958.

They had an enjoyable life together for seven years doing Temple work at the various Temples until John suffered a stroke and was confined to his home the last two years where Maggie diligently cared for him to make his last days comfortable and more enjoyable despite his illness. He passed away March 29, 1965 and was buried in Pleasant Grove cemetery beside his beloved wife Jennie.

Maggie Mae lived on at Orem in the Johnson home and was doing quite well when she fell one day while going to the mail box and suffered a broken hip. After a few days in the Provo hospital where they felt she was recovering satisfactorily from an operation to repair her hip, she passed away suddenly on the 4 March 1966.

Every one in the Orem 6th Ward had learned to love Maggie Mae and paid tribute to her life at her funeral, then she was taken to San Diego and buried there beside her first husband Leon L. Johnson.
