Death OF Respeeted Gentleman.


On last Thursday evening the whole
town was saddened by the sudden
death Of George W. d. Johnson, one
OF the oldest and most highly respect
ed residents of Millsboro. Mr. John
son has been in declining health for
the past three months, but was in an
improved condition and it was thought
to be on the road to recovery when
the attacks of nausea which accompan
led the disease from which he suffer-
ed, proved to be the final one. The
deceased was sixty-six years of age
and lived most OF that time in this
town. He is survived by a wife, four
children, all daughters, and one sister
and one brother. Funeral services
we're held Sunday in Grace NJ. E.

of warm friends who deeply sympa-
thize with the bereaved family in the
hour of their great sadness.
