Dedication of
Courtroom #1On October 13, 2009, The Grafton County Commissioners were honored to dedicate Courtroom #1 at the Grafton County Courthouse to the Honorable William R. Johnson of Hanover New Hampshire, who was a Supreme Court Judge, a New Hampshire Supreme Court Justice and a State Senator. Justice Johnson passed away unexpectedly in the summer of 2009. This is the first time in the history of Grafton County that a Courtroom has been named in honor of someone.
Many of Justice Johnson's family, classmates and colleagues were in attendance. A framed picture was placed on the wall near Courtroom #1 as well as a plaque over the door. That same picture was presented to Justice Johnson's wife and family. The event was well attended and every New Hampshire Supreme Court Judge, along with the Chief Justice and United States Supreme Court Justice David Souter (ret.) turned out for the occasion. It was a memorable event.
