Johnson County Livestock Show Scholarships
The Brad Johnson Scholarship is named in the memory of the son of Mr. and Mrs. Benny Earl
Johnson. A Cleburne High School student, Brad lost his life in a hunting accident. Friends of the family
wanted to establish a memorial that would honor both Brad and his family. Since Benny Earl was a
long-time supporter of the Johnson County Livestock Show and had been the sale auctioneer for many
years, the group decided to create a scholarship selected by the Agriculture teachers of Johnson
County to be awarded at the county livestock show. The first one was given in 1984.
The second scholarship was established after the loss of Crystal Lilly in an auto accident on January
12, 1997. Crystal was an active Cleburne FFA member and Johnson County 4-H member. She was the
daughter of Joe and Donna Lilly. She was enrolled at Trinity Valley Community College at the time of
her death. Crystal had taken part in the Johnson County Junior Livestock Show since she was old
enough to participate. She exhibited lambs, swine and dairy animals and was very
successful in each species. It was only natural that friends of the family chose to establish the
scholarship in her memory to be awarded at the county show.
The third scholarship was established in the memory of Kristopher Thetford. Kristopher lost his life in
an accident on August 21, 2000. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Jon Thetford, Kristopher had been a member
of the Joshua FFA and had been a very competitive participant in the Johnson County Livestock Show.
He had exhibited dairy heifers and swine to championship honors. Jon, Kristopher's dad, has served on
the board of directors of the association and a fitting tribute to the family was considered, and again, a
scholarship was established in his name.
The fourth scholarship was established in the memory of A.D. Wheat. Mr. Wheat was an Agriculture
Science teacher at Cleburne High School for over 40 years and touched the lives of many young men
and women during his years as a teacher. His influence on young people did not end with his retirement
in 1982. Mr Wheat founded Good Deeds, Inc. and continued to work with young people. Mr. Wheat also
spent many years with the Christian Heritage Foundation. Mr. Wheat was one of the most recognizable
and loved men in Johnson County. A fund was established in 2007 for a future scholarship.
