MRS. AUGUSTA ADAMS JOHNSON.
Former Resident of Bamberg Died in
Salisbury, n. c., Wednesday.

Leaves have their tine to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north
winds breath,
And stars to set
Thou hast all seasons for thine
own, O death.
After eleven months Of suffering
and hope, the gentle soul of Augusta
Adams Johnson winged its flight to
Heaven on the evening of June p,
1921, at ten o'clock, in a sanatorlum
in Salisbury, \. c., where she had
been a patient sufferer for all these
eleven months, with the exception OF
several visits to Baltimore to be with
specialists.
"Tetie," as she was lovingly called
by all who knew her, responded won
derfully-nay, miraculously- ra-
dunn treatment received on these Wis
it's to Baltimore Loved ones, friends
and specialists marveled at her re-
sponse to every treatment and all
hoped and prayed for the precious
life to be spared. But, finally, God
laid his finger on her and said, Come
up higher,' thus freeing the soul
from the pain marked body.
"Tetie'' was the second daughter
of c.. D. c. and Augusta Cleckley
Adams, both of whom have preceded
her to Heaven, the mother only thlr-
teen months before. Reared in an
atmosphere of love and sunshine and
Christian influences, her disposition
and character reflected all these quail
tiles into the lives Of all with whom
she came in contact. One beautiful
virtue or trait (if it may be so called)
was her love for children. Many lit
tie heart has been made happy by a
story told, or a dress or cap made for
dolly. These memories of her will
live in these numerous little hearts
as long as time shall spare them to
this world. And who does sweeter
act than to make little child happy?
She was a faithful member OF
Trinity Methodist church of this
place.-and her sweet contralto voice
will ever be missed from the choir
where she was so faithful whenever
her health permitted her being there.
On February "a, 1902, she was
married to H. Wickliffe Johnson, and
he with one brother, c. D. c. Adams
of WATERFORD, and two sisters, Mrs.
w. l.. Stokes, of Charleston, and
Mrs. J. G. Moye, Of Bamberg, are lett
to mourn her passing. To these the
sympathy of the entire community
goes out-and especially to the lonely
husband who is distraught with an
guish over his loss. His devotion and
attention have been unusual and
beautiful throughout her entire ILL
ness-and may "He who doeth all
things well'' comfort him and show
him, in His own good time,' that His
ways, though mysterious, are done in
love.
Although young woman (tor
ssTetie" was born in 1879 she had
been a great sufferer even prior to
this last illness, but through it all
she was so patient and so thoughtful
of those around her-and through
her pain she would smile, and did SO
to the end. The memory of this
beautiful life, so gentle, so bright and
so full of love, will abide always IN
our hearts. Can any one think OF her
going, and not in fancy see the re-
union of the dear mother and host
of young people and loved ones ralseo
in the same community meeting IN
the Great Beyond?
She was laid away in Restland
cemetery June "a. The floral trl-
butes were numerous and beautl1ul'
