The subject of this sketch was born to
o. +. and Tabitha Lyons, of this parish, on
the Bird day OF April, 1855. She was the eld-
est of Eve children, one of which preceded
her to the grave She died the wife of Henry
W. johnson of Vincent P. o., this parish,
During the year 1881 under the ministra-
tlons of Ed. D. H. Willis, better known as
the blind preacher, che professed faith in
Christ but owing to the fact that she was at
that time an invalid her baptism was post
poned She was never satisfied with the
postponement Of duty aud on the 9th day of
April, 1882, ED. W. +. Fancher yielded to
her urgent request to be allowed TO follow
her Savior Into the typical grave; still being
unable to walk, she was carried into the wa
ter by her devoted husband and a friend, who
supported her in a chair. When warned by
her friends, who thought 1t unwise for her to
go into the water her faith lowered above
the feshy feeling and she persisted in saying
it would not hurt her. 1t was not long be-
fore ii became apparent that her happy frame
of mind, OccasOned by the consciousness of
a duty we'll and nobly done, was having its
Legitimate effect upon her physical condition,
and she steadily improved from that good
day until she who was almost considered a
life time invalid, was restored, at least to
reasonable health, and became indeed help
meet to her husband who so tenderly cared
for her in her aitliction.
The writer first began to visit her home
about three years ago, at which time she was
just getting able to be up about the house,
and one of the SOFest crosses for her was haV-
ing to stay away from church. However this
did not continue long, as her health eoBtin-
ued to improve, and, ere the close of that
year she was regular attendant upon the
services at Gods house. 1t seemed as though
she realized that much time had been lost on
account of her Illness, aud she went to work
to redeem ID.
The pastor of no church ever had more
faithful friend or deeper sympathizer than
did the writer tn the person of Margaret
johnson. Her last day In health was busy
way home stopping by the Wayslde to say a
kind word to an aged couple whose lonely
life touched a chord that was wont to Vibrate
in sympathy with the Door.
She was sick about ten days, suffered
great deal, and died on the 28rd day of Au-
gust, 1889, aged "a years, months and 20
days
Thus has passed from our midst a lovely
christian woman, and to the bereaVed hu6-
