MINERAL POINT WISCONSIN, SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 1898
Where Parting is No More.

A lOuchlng on the ueath OF Mrs,
! Laura Johnson in last Sundays
issue, and under the above head,
the Janesville Recorder had the fol
lowing remarks:
"Back to the home from which
Mrs. Walter A. Johnson left year
ago last Friday happy bride, her
| lifeless body was taken last even
ing. Her death occurred at her
home on Washington street yester-
day morning at nine o'clock, aged
twenty.six years. On September
22nd, 1892, Mr.. Johnson and Miss
Laura Jacka were married at Miner
al Point, Wis. Life to them at
that time was like voyage over
the rippling waters of calm sea.
There were no clouds on the hori.
zon that pressaged the appearance
of trouble. But the angel of death
like a thief in the night, came down
upon the happy household and bore
away in triumph not only the be.
loved wife of y year but the infant
child who shared the mothers sad
fate.
"The remains of the mother and
child were taken to Mineral Point
last night at which place the inter
meut will take place. Mr.. johnson
is son of III. Il. Johnson, the local
agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul road and is employed in
the freight department here. In
the great atliiction that has befalIen
him words of consolation avail but
little. TO the hearts bowed down
with grief there Is but One in whom
consolation may be found. Many
friends will extend their sympathy
in this great hour Of their great be-
reavement."
Deceased was the oldest daughter
of Mr., aud Mrs. w. IL. Jacka, of
this city, where she was born and
grew to woman hood. It can be
truthfully said that no young lady
Of Mineral Point had more friends
or was more beloved by young and
old than Laura Jacl,a. She was of
happy aud joyial temperament,
perfect lady in manners, and accom-
phshed in many ways. After grad
uatlng in our high school she
taught for some years in our public
schools and with marked success
Her sad and untimely death was a
shock to all, and creates q deep
rooted sorrow in the heart of every
citizen, while the bereavement Of
the husband, the parents, and the
brothers aud sisters is unmeasur-
able.
The funeral took place from the
home of her parents Monday after
noon, attended by very large con
course of people The body was
rested at the +. NJ. church where
the pastor, Rev. 5. Il. Chubb, dis.
coursed at considerable length in
an able and befitting manner and
the choir rendered three appropri-
ate selections, after which the Gem
etery of Graceland was entrusted
with one more precious charge to
await resurrection morn.
