Mr.. Charles Johnston


Mr.. Charles Johnston died ct his
home in st. Joseph on last Saturday
night after an illness covering several
weeks. He had been in fairly good
health until about month ago, when
he was taken down with Ia grippe, and
despite the best attention of his fsmi-
ly and physicians he could not with
stand the ravages of the disease and
his death was peaceful and quiet. His
daughter, Miss Louise Johnston, who
had been constantly at his bedside
throughout his illness, and his son Mr..
James Johnston, and his wife were
with their father when the end came.
Deceased was born in Jefferson
county, Miss, 70 years ago. His father
was Capt. James 8. Johnston, q
wealthy planter Of Mississippi, and
who was considered one of the most
intellectual men of that state. The
latter's two sons, Charles and James,
both graduated at the University Of
Virginia. Upon the outbreak OF the
war. Mr.. Charles Johnston joined
Darden's Battery, which became q
part of the Army of Tennessee, and
rendered valiant service through many
very strenuous campaigns, when he
served on the staff of his cousin, Gen.
Joseph E. Johnston, particularly in
that remarkable retreat when Gen.
Johnston opposed Sherman's march
to the sea, and killed more federals
than his own army numbered.
Upon the close of hostilities Mr..
Johnston located in Tensas parish and
in 1882 was married to Miss Mary Vir-
ginia Skinner and has been resident
of this parish for over fifty years, the
last ten years of which were spent in
st. Joseph. His wife preceded him 30
the Great Beyond three years ago and
he has since made his home with his
son. Three sons, James s., G. D. and
Joseph E. Johnston, and one daugh-
ter, Miss Louise, aud one brother,
Bishop James Johnston, of West
Texas, survive him.
Mr.. Johnston was q devoted hus.
band and father, true friend and
GOOD neighbor. OF q cheerful DISPOSE
ton he always endeavored to look on
the bright side of life and kept his
troubles to himself, though it was long
noticeable to his closest friends that
he had never gotten over the loss of
his wife, his one comfort being In the
hope of q reunion beyond the grave.
The remains were taken to Matches
for interment, q number of friends
from this parish accompanying the
body to its last resting place, to show
their respect for deceased and SYM
psthy for his family.
In common with our entire people
the Gazette extends coincidence to
Mr.. Johnston's children and particu-
lsrly to his daughter, Miss Louise, who
has devoted her life to the comfort
and happiness Of her parents and
whose grief at the passing of her aged
father was touching and pathetic. In.
deed it might be said that deceased
was particularly blessed with dutiful
and sffectionste children, for al were
devoted to their parents and delight.
ed to vie with each other in contrib
uting to their pleasure and comfort.
Now that both have gone to their re-
ward the thought Of duty well done
should serve % balm to their wounded
hearts and . comfort In their grief.
