ing, while sitting in chair, from heart
failure and advanced age. The church
was we'll filled by sOrroWing relatives
and friends, for all loved the departed
because of his worth as friend, neighbOr.
citizen and man. He was man OF
kindly impulses and strong convictions,
which were manifested on many Occa-
sions during his long residence in this
city; always defending the right and
displaying a fearlesSness that demon
strated that he possessed the courage of
a hero. DR.. Johnson was native Of
Killaloe, county of Clare, Ireland, where
he was born July %. 1922, and came to
WatertOwn in the spring OF 1843, and
became permanent resident in 1914
and had resided here continuously since
that time, and been identified with its
business interests, and holding several
positions Of honor and trust, although
he was in no sense an Office seeker. He
was the first to engage in the drug busi-
ness in this city and continued in it
until 1874, when he retired with COM
potency TO take Well-earned rest. In
1916, he was united in marriage with
Mary Crowley. the daughter of one Of
the pioneer settlers in the town OF
WatertOWn, which union continued I'M
til few years ago, when the beloved
wife experienced the transition which
mOrtals call death No children blessed
the union, but in departing, DR.. Johnson
leaves many nieces and nepheWs, and a
host of warm friends who will miss him.
He was an interesting talker and had a
large fund of "reminiscences of the early
days of WatertOWn, having seen the
little hamlet in the woods grow into
beautiful city and had been potential
force in it's growth. He was generous
man and had given literally toward de-
serving objects.
Those present at the funeral from
distance were: Mrs. Louis Riedinger,
son Charles and daughter Caroline Of
Detroit, Mich; Edward L. Johnson, Den
yer, Col; jeremiah Quinn, of Milwaukee;
Mr.. and Mrs. Vim. FOrdyce, Butternut;
Hon. Alex Sullivan, Chicago; and Misses
FurlOng. Milwaukee.
The mortal was laid to rest in the ST..
Bernard cemetery and all can say from
the fullness Of the heart. Requiescat in
Pace.
