We are deeply saddened by the loss of Village of Somerset Mayor Tom Johnson. Since his election in 2009, Mayor Johnson was a true advocate and champion for Somerset, Perry County, and the whole of Appalachian Ohio.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, the Village of Somerset, and all who had the pleasure to know and work with him.
