Jonathan was an old religious man who lived high up in the mountains near Walnut Grove. He was played by the late Ernest Borgnine.
After running away from home after the death of her newborn baby brother, Laura Ingalls met him the next day after feeling guilty and responsible for her baby brother's death. It's possible Jonathan was actually an angel sent to help Laura with her feelings of guilt.
