Ross II. Johnson.

The many friends Of Ross Fl.
Johnson were shocked to learn of
his death at Waynesburg, Greene
county Pa, Sunday May 1S, 1902
aged 30 years and 6 days.
The deceased was a son of Mr.
and Mrs. John f. Johnson of Tay-
lor township, this county, and
few months ago went to Green's
burg where he found employ
ment.
One day, about month ago, he
was stropping his razor prepara-
tory to shaving, when, in some
way, he nicked his little finger
with the edge of the razor. The
accident seemed so triiing thathe
scarcely gave it thought at the
time, but in day or two it began
to show signs of Inflammation and
gave him pain. Local remedies
were applied, but the swelling
went to the hand, up the arm, and
finally the entire side of his body
became congested, and although
he had the attention of two skilful
physicians, blood poison resulted
and death ended his suffering.
On account of the condition Of
the remains, his parents gave up
the idea of bringing the body
home, and interment was made at
Greensburg.
Ross was for several years an
exemplary member of the Primi-
tive Baptist church, young man
of fine qualities, and popular
among his associates.
The bereaved parents and the
brothers who Survive, have the
deepest sympathy of their many
friends.
