 MT. Johnson was sent east as one of the committee and, being taken ill, never returned. While on a visit to his sisters daughter, Mrs. Frank Paine Of 23 Raymond street, New London, he suffered a severe shock. For four and one-half years he has been helpless but tenderly cared for by MT and Mrs. Paine. Last Saturday noon the hnal call came and he passed away.
