Watertown Daily Times - January 25, 2007
Direction:
Johnson Funeral Home is located in the village of Dexter. From I-81, take exit 46. From the exit, go
west (if you came from south, turn left; if you came from north, turn right) and go straight for several
miles until you come to an end of Route 12F (you will arrive to State Route 180) pass the small airport.
When you "almost" arrive to State Route 180, you will see a blinking traffic light (red) and keep right.
Turn right heading north across the bridge you will arrive into village of Dexter. Take the first right street
(it is very a small street) and keep right until you see a left turn onto William Street. Go up a little ways
until you see the funeral home on the left. For those of you who have been to their son Tommy's funeral
(calling hours), it is the very same place.
If the direction above is not clear, try mapquest.
