the 46th year Of his age
Death has again entered our midst and summoned
us to the grave to pa, the last tribute of respect To
loved one it is sad TO chronicle the death of the
sweet babe and sadder still to record the loss of the
young who are taken amid the bloom and vigor OF
youth; but never was more melancholy task un
dertaken than to portray the loss which sorrow
stricken family and sympal hising community have
sustained in the death OF Mr. hnson. ny this dis
pensation OF Provden' our county has lost one OF
Its most useful, valuable, AMI worthy CIT zens. He
was gentleman of uniiring energy and unfaltering
fidelity to du y and by his kind hearted lberality
and gentemany bearing, commanded The respect
and esteem of all Every enterprise which he un'
dertook seemed TO prosper and he was held out as
an example of industry and thri t. Al no time OF
his lie was he m re prosperous or hopeful than
just before his death, and at no period OF his domes
tic affairs was his fathery care more needed than
now He was snatched from the bosom of large
and intere ting family, being the father of seven
children who were bereft OF mothers tender care
when the Oldest was scarcely twelve and the young
est unable to lisp her name We commend the
afflicted ones to HIM whose watchu care will ever
guard them, and who has promised to be the father
the iatherless and it is our earnest prayer that
He Il 50 comfort thei- hearts and sanctify their
SORROWS that out of their darkness light shall
shine" and out of their mourning "peaee shall
dow
We followed him to the pace chosen for the fami
ly burning ground and there laid him by the side
of her who the partner of his earthl, joys and
it is earnest hope that his pure spirit freed from
the cares Of ear h. has long ere this rtoned hers in
the bright mansions above. Though his familiar
face shall be seen no more amongst U.S. his memory
shall be long and fondly cherished
with us his name shall i've,
