George Stuhler moved from Canton to Johnson in Scott Grove township, joining a thriving prairie village with a post office dating to 1853. Johnson, later called Four Corners, grew around roads and water power at Canton, with Stuhler opening the first boot and shoe shop and local doctors, a dry goods store, and an Odd Fellows lodge.
