A LOVEABLE WOMAN GONE.

A LOVEABLE WOMAN GONE.
 On the morning of Oct. 11th the little town of Holly Grove had the sad news passed from home to home that Aunt Bankie" Johnson had passed in- to the beyond. No doubt her experiences had been wonderful in the life that had spanned so nearly one-hundred years. She was born at Norfork, Virginia, Sept. l5, 1913. She went to Tennessee while a child and there spent her .girlhood days. When a young lady she moved to Missouri where she married Jerrod Banks Johr son, near Nor risvilIe, in 1885. They came to Holly Grove in 1866 and here she lived out the remaining years of her long life. She had great faith in God and Ionged to be at rest in that house not made with hands. To the loved ones left behind, let me give this word of hope, when this life with you is end ed you will find her waiting and watching at the beautiful gate for .you.
