Gersie Rogers was born on
February 9Th, 1872. at Lena,
Ill, and died at the family home
in Wagner, on Dec. Both, 1910.
The deceased moved, with
her parents, at the age of four,
to Iowa, where she grew to
womanhood, coming to South
Dakota only a few years ago.
On June 18th, 1907, she was
united in marriage to G. G..
johnson of Wagner. She
leaves a husband. an infant son,
three step children, and one
sister. Mrs. Anna Campbell, of
Sheldon, Iowa, to mourn her de-
from this life. She
was rreceded in death by her
parents, and three brothers.
Mrs. G.. G.. johnson was an
excellent wife, a loving mother,
land a noble chr istian woman,
lesteemeed and loved by all who
had the pleasure of her ac-
lquaintance. She was q mem
Der of the Methodist Episcopal
lchurcil, and took q very active
part in all work pertaining to
the better ment and advanc e
ment of christianity.
On the date of her death Mrs.
johnson gave birth to a bright
little baby boy and, owing to
the shock received by her
heart, passed away a few hours
later. The case is the more
sad owing 70 the fact that she
was called from earth with her
first born only a few hours old,
and again that her life has been
one filed with doing good and
comforting those with whom
she came in contact who needs
a consoling word or a kind act
to help them bear up under ad
Verse circumstances.
