MISS LUCY A. JOHNSON GONE FROM
EARTH.

On Sunday morning, June IS, 1896,
the angel Of death entered the parson-
age of the First Baptist Church, Sa-
lem, Va. and claimed for its victim Miss
Lucy A. Johnson, who for five years
had lived in, and was regarded as one
of the family OF Rev. and Mrs. B f
Fox Her ailment was of heart and
lungs combined, from which her
strength gradually failed, despite of
medical skill and all other efforts to
restore it, until the end.
having completed the Normal
course at the Hartshorn Memorial
College in 1892, she taught in the pub
lie schools of Roanoke County to the
close of the last school year. and was
regarded by the officials as one of
their best and most successful teach
ers
She was % years old and it is with
sadness and a keen sense Of our loss
that we chronicle the death of one so
young, so very useful. so loved and re-
spected as she was But it is cheering
to know that she possessed a lovely
Christian character that IA years of
her young life were consecrated to
the Masters service and that her
deeds still live to speak her praise
more forcibly than any pen could do
Feing conscious of her approaching
end, she made requests as follows:
To have memorial exercises con-
Quoted by the pastor in n simple man
ner; to have them consist of a rehear-
sal of verses (Which she marked i'm the
Bible) by members of classes she
taught in the Sunday School to have
this interpreted with singing of
hymns (Which she mentioned) by the
school, and to have teachs rs. officers
and all others of the school take such
part as they desired.
These requests were carried out in
full Monday afternoon, June %. 1895.
in the presence of her remains and a
packed congregation. at which time
the following paper was read by Mr.
@. A Robinson, Principal of VintOn
Graded School, in which she taught
last:
cit has been said that the good we
do is often inferred with our bones.
This is doubtless true in many cases,
but here is an exception The life and
work of her whom we eulogize to-day
are eminently worthy of emulation
and though she is dead, her deeds will
continue to live

knowledge gained by personal contact
with Miss Johnson while associated
with her in our chosen vocation.
She was kind to the aged, friendly
to the little children, sympathetic to-

lover OF virtue, intensely temperate
and conscientionsIy religious.
She was an enthusiastic Sunday
School worker, an efficient educator
and a musical adept. Truly death
loves a shining mark

that confront our young women who
