Record for Jeremiah Augustus Johnson J. Augustus Johnson, Lorenzo's brother Connected to the discovery of the Hittite hieroglyphics language translation "Haymas Stone"- he and a friend were out hiking in Syria around 1850s? when they saw this sacred stone in a wall and tried to make a rubbing of it. They were not successful, but they wrote about what they'd seen. And other archiologists read what they'd written.

Athletics at the 1900 Paris Summer Games: Men's Pole Vault Host City: Paris, France Date Started: July 15, 1900 Date Finished: July 15, 1900 Gold: Irv Baxter Silver: Meredith Colket Bronze: Carl Albert Andersen Final Standings: Final only. Summary The event was usually called the pole jump in 1900, though the program listed it, of course, as "le championnat de saut à la perche." All the arguments about Sunday competition reached the height of absurdity with this event. The event was scheduled to start at 4:30 PM (1630) on Sunday afternoon, with no qualifying held on Saturday. The Americans claimed that the French told them that any field event final which was contested on Sunday would not be considered finished until the Americans had a chance on the next day to better the marks posted. This was apparently ruled at a meeting on Wednesday, 11 July. But on Saturday night, the French ruled that the results of all Sunday events would be final, with no recourse to any athletes who did not compete due to Sabbatarian objections. Apparently the Americans were not told of this decision. The top American vaulters were Charles Dvorak, Dan Horton, and Bascom Johnson. They were not at the field on Sunday when the pole vault started. Fortunately for the American team, Irv Baxter, who had just won the high jump (which started at 3:45 PM 1545), and Meredith Colket, were present and were able to compete in the vault. They took the first two places without much difficulty. On Monday, Bascom Johnson, in a special event organized by the French authorities to assuage the angry American authorities, cleared 3.38 metres. But it had no bearing on the Olympic championship. On Thursday, 19 July, the pole vault handicap was held and was won by [Jakab Kauser] of Hungary. But the Americans were still protesting the Sunday competition, so again a special pole vault competition, at scratch, was organized. In this event, Dan Horton cleared 3.45 metres, and Charles Dvorak was second with 3.35. It mattered little as the French never changed their ruling and the listing below is the accepted one. The 1900 Olympic pole vault champion remained Irving Baxter. --Extracted from: http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1900/ATH/mens-pole-vault.html jfelix43added this on 4 Jan 2009 Jeremiah Augustus Johnson, Brother of Lorenzo Johnson Jeremiah Augustus Johnson jfelix43added this on 24 Dec 2008 juancho98originally submitted this to Massey Family Tree I on 28 Mar 2008Category Type: Portrait / Family Photo Brother of Lorenzo Johnson Lorenzo Medici Johnson Lorenzo Medici Johnson jfelix43added this on 24 Dec 2008 juancho98originally submitted this to Massey Family Tree I on 2 Apr 2008 JG Johnson JG Johnson jfelix43added this on 18 Dec 2011 j_t_johnson j_t_johnson jfelix43added this on 26 Jan 2008 [S909] Public Member Trees, 201412, Database online.
