entered our midst and claimed the
sweet spirit OF one much beloved and
respected by all, that of Mrs. j. D.
Johnson. She had been in declining
health for some time, but was thought
to 'be improving when she was taken
suddenly i'll Saturday morning, when
friends, doctors, nurse, neighbors and
relatives did all that could be done
for her. She quietly passed away
Tuesday at z o'clock, just at the close
of day. She was II years old and has
a large family connection. She was
a dughter Of Mr.. John Lanford, de-
ceased, and sister of Capt. j. w. Ian

survive her. She is also survived by
her husband and two sons, Messrs. B.
