Edna Johnson was born on April 6, 1919 in Hart Township, near Rhame, ND, the daughter of Olaf and Tina (Knutson) Johnson. She was raised near Rhame where she attended Hart school and then graduated from Bowman High School in 1937. In 1938, Edna was united in marriage to Robert Pierce in a double wedding with Gordon and Dorothy Pierce in Scranton, ND. After their marriage, they made their home on the Pierce Family Farm North of Scranton. Edna remained on the farm until 1999 when Robert passed away. She then moved into Scranton where she lived until moving into the Sunny Apartments in Bowman in 2006 and then into the Southwest Healthcare Long Term Center in 2009.
