Biography

[edit]

She was born Henrietta Johnson in 1902[1] in Racine, Wisconsin, the daughter of Herbert Fisk Johnson Sr., the grand daughter of the S. C. Johnson & Son company founder Samuel Curtis Johnson Sr.[2]

Her father died in 1928, without leaving a will, and after a long legal battle, his estate was split equally between his two children.[3]

Her brother, Herbert Fisk Johnson Jr., was the third generation to lead the company.

In 1923, she married John J. Louis (1896–1959), and they had three sons:[1][2]
