The H.P. Johnson Funeral Home was established in 1927 in the town of McKenney. Later years, he expanded his business to the Church Road area on Highway 460 with a small chapel to provide services to his clientele in that area. Harry P. Johnson (H.P), founder and owner of the sole proprietor business ran the funeral parlor in his home for over fifty years on Highway US Route 1, now the Boydton Plank Road.
H.P.'s entrepreneurship began with the operation of a barber and shoe shop located also in McKenney. He also provided ambulance service to the community of Dinwiddie County for many years. A cousin, Fred Smith and nephew, Harry Johnson, Jr. worked with "Uncle Harry" as we called him for many years.
