The death of Mrs. Ruth John
son, widow of the late Jason
johnson, which occurred at her
home Friday, Jan. IS, removes
one from our community who has
been a life long resident here and
was we'll known and loved by all.
Living among US as she had so
many years, none but could see
how kind and helpful she was.
Since the death of her husband 5
years ago she has been in poor
health, but her last sickness was
of short duration. She passed
with much suffering from this
life to the dreamless slumbers of
death. Her every day motto was
love, charity and industry. In the
home, now made desolate by her
death, are seen the works of her
busy hands. She had a sweet smile
for everyone especially the poor
and sick. She was the daughter
of Timothy and Sophia Frary
Tilden being born March 20, 1929.
She was married to Jason John
son, March 1, 1849. To them
were born three sons, Franklin j.,
Willard w. and Marquis D. and
one daughter, Ruth L., who has
so tenderly cared for her mother
during her last sickness. Rev. F.
L. Janeway of Hanover officiated
at the funeral Sunday which
was largely attended by friends
and relatives. Mrs. johnson was
a great lover of flowers and many
beautiful ones, the gifts of the
sons and daughters, lay on and be-
side the casket. The bearers were
her three sons and grandson. The
following selections were render
ed by the choir, Nearer Ny God
to Thee" "Asleep in Jesus" and
"In the Sweet By and By" w. Fl.
Rand had charge of the arrange
ments. Loving hands laid her to
rest in Norwich cemetery beside
her loved ones gone before, where
she is at rest but not forgotten.
Rest, mother, rest;
You are free from all pain
We would not, no, we would not
Call you back to earth again.
Rest sister, dear sister, rest;
We will weep no more,
You are waiting to greet us
On that hpautiful shore
