For a little while the Peacock said
nothing, but still he marched around
vainly spreading his Tail.
Before long Man came along with
lots and lots of Paint Brushes and
Paints and Boards. He sat down on a
little stool he carried, and then he said
TO himself:
"Ah I've just been longing to find
Peacock like that one over there to
Paint. He'll make such beautiful
Painting. He is certainly exquisite"
The Peacock was very happy when
he heard the Man admire him and he
edged up by the side Of the Fence near
where the Goat was walking.

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1916-09-13
O B ITUA RY
MRS. WALTER JOHNSON.

The many friends Of Mrs. Walter
Johnson, formerly Miss Laura Mel
SON of Willmar, were grieved to learn
of her death in Tulsa, Okla, on We'd
nesday Of last week, September 9Th.
She had not been in good health for
year or more, but the end came
rather suddenly and Unexpectedly.
She was born in Atwater on Octo-
ber "a, 1873, and lived there until
1895, when she moved to Willmar
with her parents. She married Mr..
Johnson on May 26, 1903, and a year
later they went to Oklahoma, where
she lived until her death. She had
malaria fever some five years ago and
was back in Willmar a couple of
times to visit. She seemed to feel
much better, but the disease again
seemed to get the upper hand and
finally resulted in her death.
The sympathy Of the entire COM
munity goes out to the husband, the
father, Mr.. o. P. Nelson and a sister,
Mrs. N. T. Thompson Of Atwater, and
to her other relatives and friends.
Music was furnished by the choir
of the First Methodist church, and
there were many beautiful floral Of
ferings. She was buried in the fam
lily lot at Fairview cemetery.
