Charles worked in the oilfield and among his other dutes, he worked on a seismograph crew offshore in the gulf. He worked for Mobil Oil for a couple of years until joining Texaco. He worked for Texaco for over 25 years. While with Texaco, he traveled to Texas, New Mexico, both Dakotas, Illinois, Kansas, Arkansas and Louisiana. In 1970, Charles moved his family from Louisiana to Rush Springs where he worked for Cline Industries and Grady County District 3, retiring after 17 years of service.
Milt loved hunting, fishing, gardening, farming, canning and cooking, but his greatest love was for his wife and family. He was deeply devoted to them and could always be counted on to offer his support and encouragement to all.
Charles was saved in the First Baptist Church of Wister, OK and was baptized in the river there. He attended the Southern Baptist Church in Rush Springs.
He was preceded in death by parents, a son, Larry Wayne Johnson, 4 brothers, Lucian, Sydney, Elton, and Wayne Johnson, and his sister, Alta Hill.
