| Charleston, SC | August 7, 2025 | 87th Supreme Court Justice visited |
According to David N. Atkinson, in Leaving the Bench (pp. 193-94), Johnson is in fact buried at St. Philip’s Church.
Who is Buried in Justice Johnson’s Tomb?:At one time it was thought that Johnson’s body had disappeared after his funeral in New York City while temporarily stored in a church awaiting shipment back to Charleston, South Carolina. However, cemetery records at St. Philip’s church in Charleston indicate the justice was eventually buried there as he had planned, and his burial plot is clearly recorded. His monument, now weathered and with the words barely legible, is in the center of the West Cemetery along the south wall.
