The subject of this memoir, Eliza johnson, was
born in Morgan County, Ohio, April Is, 1926. About
the year 1851 she with her friends removed to Jack
son County, Ohio where she became acquainted with
her surviving husband, Daniel H. johnson. She was
married to him June 10, 1852, died May H. 1881
She was the mother of nine children; six girls and
three boys, all of whom survive her except one son.
She was Industrious even to excess and the
welfare of her family, her efforts knew no limit
Her children can testify to the fact that kinder
and more attentive mother never lived, and to deny
herself for the good of her family gratifying
| pleasure Sadly indeed is she missed in her home
and the assiduous which she lavished upon her
family and its interests, has ceased to and now
those that are left behind must live to the
they can and may without her. Fresh will ever be
her memory, for go where you will about the old
home, and there she has left the impress of
her motherly care and ceaseless industry.
She formerly belonged to the Methodist Church,
but In 1850 or 61 she united with the Christian Union
Church at Pleasant Grove since which time until her
death, she was consistent member. Charity was a
prominent trait of her character To minister the
wants of others and to relieve the afflicted were duties
she never failed to perform.
Mysterious are the ways of Providence! While al
most ready to begin to enjoy the fruits of many years
labor. so far temporary preparation was concern
ed, she was called away to better enjoyment and
more permanent happiness than this world affords.
But she has gone, and gone her reward we cannot
doubt. Though she might have lived many years on
the earth and enjoyed pleasures surrounded by
her family, yet the dsappointments of this life which
are sure to come, she will never know again. And if
such thing be that departed spirits guard the lives
of those who have not crossed the silent River
then we assured that the angel spirit our de-
parted mother watches ceaselessly over her family
and stands ready to welcome them by one they
launch their boats and to the other side. May
we be ready, and when the summons shall come be
prepared to hail that dear mother in a land where
sorrows and bereavements are unknown, and where
atnlctions and death do not come J.W.J.

the prime of womanhood-only 49, In her sixteenth
year she became wife, her welded life being brief
but happy one In the last year her health began to
decline She was patient sufferer and bore all her
suffrrings with Christian fortitude When near the
end she asked if she ready and willing to die
She answered yes; yet when she remembered her
kind and affectionate husband, and baby boy, who
would never know mothers care and love; her kind
parents and little sisers-or their sakes would like
to live, but willing to give all up for the sake of
Him who died for me. And when the springtime
came, and the boomed she fell asleep in Jesus
'Gone, in the freshness of girlhood,
Gone! while life was SO fair,
Gone to mansions eternal,
To the Fathers infinite
'oh, loved hearts stricken and bleeding,
And heavy with untold care,
Take up the song she is singing
The chant of the bright and the fair.''
