JOHNSON.
On Saturday afternoon. September
14th 1912, Captain Charles E. Johnson
died at his home, Second and Marshall
Streets, South Milford. Delaware, aged
60 years and II days. Captain Johnson
was well known and very highly esteemed
in Milford and vicinity as well as in the
upper part of the State. Wilmington
and Philadelphia, where for the past
fourteen years he worked for the P. &
B. r. R., making many friends of sail
ors, captains and railroad men; for his
disposition was so kindly and genial that
acduaintances once formed were strongly
cemented in lasting friendship. 1t was
a great concern to his neighbOrs and
relatives when he returned to his home
on December llth, 1911, in poor health,
tho they hoped that medical aid might
overcome his affliction, but as time ad-
al Ii 1seo
was steadily and surely ebbing away.
During his long, tedious illness his fOrti-
tude and patience were touching, as he
returned the warm shake of the hand,
and gave a kindly smile to friends who
were anxious for his health. But to the
inner circle of his home, his last sickness
will ever live as a monument of tender
ness and love, for to these he calmly and
hopefully talked of the end, of the bet
ter land, of Gods tender love to him.
In the midnight watches, when racking
drove sleep afar, he would talk
with the Lord, and as the death angel
lowered nearer, his faith grew brighter
no murmur, no complaint, always con-
cerned for the feelings of his loved ones,
until on Saturday afternoon he asked
for his wife. and with one long last look
OF farewell, MS JlEeu piflJ EeledSeu LEOIu
its clay, went to the better home, to
await the coming of those near and dear.
