MRS l. g. JOHNSON

Friends of the family were panied
to hear last Thursday of the death OF
Mrs l. G. johnson which occurred
that afternoon at Excelsior Springs,
Missouri, whittier she went about
month ago for treatment for a dlsor-
der with which she had been afflicted
for several years. The imme diate
cause of her death was paralysis Her
husband and her daughter, Mrs Vesta
Dllllnger, of this city, were with her
during her last days and everything
that medical skill and love and affec-
ton could do was done for one who
has been a silent and patient sufferer
for years almost unknown to her most
intimate friends, but to no avail Her
days We're ended and the number of
months were with Him who doeth all
things we'll Funeral services were
held at the family home in this city
Monday afternoon, conducted by Rev
J. F. Johnson, of Sa1ina. a former
nastor of the deceased, assisted by
Rev Grant Mann and Rev. J. E. Nay
o. E. s. of Wa-Keeney, of which the
deeeasd was a member, was in atten-
dance and conducted the beautiful
burial service of the order at the
grave, interment being made in the
Wa-Keeney city cemetery, and just at
that moment the lowering clouds
which all day had threatened rain fed
away and glorious sunshine broke
over the mourning relatives and
friends gathered there te pay the last
tribute of love and regard for the de-
portent of the resurrection morn the
hope of which fills every human
hearth Even more than thisi Her bur-
ia1 day was the 53rd anniversary of
her birth. Who would deny stricken
humanity the hope of new life and
the anticipation of glorious reunion
in the Great Beyondl
Anna Harms was born in Charles
G. 27-1 he
m rried to Leonard G. johnson at
Denver, Colo. July IS. 1890 She
leaves to mourn her departure her
husband and her daughter and family
and also a sister, Mrs. Ellen Bowman,
of this city; her aged mother. Mrs
Bessie Harms, now living at Abbott,
Iowa; Mrs Bessie Shafer, a sister
living at Vinton, Iowa. Two other sis
tiers who with Mrs. Bowman were
present at the funeral are Mrs. Abbie
kugel, of Abbott, Iowa, and Mrs.
Relatives OF Mr.. johnson present were
MS sister, Mrs. Eliza Ruy1e, of Jersey
vile, Illinois, his brothers Wiley e
Johnson, of Medora, Illinois, and
Pruitt Johnson, Frederick Oklahoma
Rev Arthur Dillinger, of SaIina. Kan
sass brother of Mr.. ". E. Dillinger,
was also present.
Mrs. johnson came to Wa-Keeney
from Iowa in 1886 and the greater
part Of her life has been lived here in
TINS vicinity She was immersed and
to the extent of her strength a church
worker without combining her activ-
Itles to any particular denomination
and in recognition of her various and
manifold helpful ways there was a
profuslon of floral tributes from num-
erous orders and societies laid upon
her casket- But aside from these
seni-publc activities Mrs. johnson
was a quiet, even secret contributor,
to the relief of distress. A great sif-
ferer herself, any story of suffering
or pflvation aroused her sympat thy
even toward utter strangers, and the
sum of her benefactions will never be
known by her most intimate friends,
but since no generous act is never en-
tirely lost let US hope she has her re
ward.
Gard Of Thanks
We are heartily grateful for the
many acts of kindness extended to us
IN our bereavement and desire hereby
to express our sincere appreciation
OF the many beautiful tributes of love
and affection for our departed wife,
mother and sister.
