next Monda,
General johnson Dead.

The sad announcement of the death of
Gen. Bradley T. johnson, which occurred
at his home in Goochland county, Va, on
Monday last, will vibrate note of sor-
row in the hearts of every Maryland Con-
federate. As soldier, author, lawyer, he
combined to the fullest extent the attri.
butes that render each calling worthy of
admiration. It is not necessary to tell
Confederate soldiers of the character of
this knightly gentleman. His valor is
emblazoned on the pages of the history of
Maryland's gallant men during their
struggle for the "Lost Cause"
Born in Frederick City, Nd, September
goth, 1929, his brilliant career reflects
honor on his county and State. His col
legiate education was finished at Prince
ton University, his legal cou1se at Har-
ward in 1851. In June of that year he
married Miss Jane Claudia Saunders, of
North Carolina. In May, 1861, General
johnson left Frederick with 60 men; two
weeks after he was mustered in the Con-
federate Army and commissioned captain
of Company A, First Maryland Regiment.
He was in command of the Maryland Line
and, in 1864, in recognition of his gallan-
try, was made brigadier general of caval
~. Until the closing scenes at Apo
matox, the great soldier never faltered,
the lustre of his we'll merited stars never
dimmed.
For many years the General has been
President of the Society of the Army and
Navy of the Confederate States in the
State of Maryland. His declining years
were spent at the home of his only son,
