Walter Carlton johnson

Walter Carlton Johnson was born
at Stockport, o., April 8, 1902. He
was the youngest Of five children
born to Charles Loren and Edith
Cheadle Johnson. He received his
education in the public schools of
McConnelsville, o., where he spent
the greater part of his life and in
which community he leaves a large
circle of sorrowing friends. He
moved to the Philo vicinity with
his parents at the age of 21
years. On Aug. %, 1926, he was
united in marriage with Margaret
Nancy Chambers of GAINESVILLE, o.
To this union which was destined to
last so few short years, no children
were born. In early life Walter
united with the Main Street Church
of Christ at McConnelsville, and re-
Gently transferred his membership
to the Duncan Falls Presbyterian
church, and became a member Of
the Mems Brotherhood of the Sun
day school. He was a dutiful son
and kind, loving husband. He was
friend to everyone and was loved
and respected bysall who knew him,
being well remembered for his witty
remarks and cheerful way in which
he bore his suffering. He departed
this life at 430 o'clock on the af--
ternoon of Sept. 80, 1885, at the
age of 33 years, five months and 21
days. Although he had been i'll the
past four years, his death came
very suddenly and unexpectedly as
the result of the recent develop
ment of complications. On Oct.
22, 1925, his mother preceded him
to the Great Beyond, as did one
brother and one sister, both of
whom passed away before Walter
was born. He leaves to mourn his
passing, his wife, Margaret, of the
home; his father, Charles L. John
son of GAINESVILLE, O.; one sister,
Mrs. j. N. Balm of Kenosha, Wis,
and one brother, G. Dean Johnson
of Philo, o., and a large circle of
other relatives and hosts of friends.
None knew him but to love him,
nor named him but to praise. -

race, has all the more right to DOM
mate in Chinese affairs.
Those who are asked to make
room for aggressive nations never
seem to have rights that the invad-
ers assume to have. The white men
who came early too America slaugh-
tered or drove away the Indians,
who were the rightful owners. But
probably, and SO far as we know,
the Indians had taken this goodly
land from earlier owners. The fact
is that the Indians did not use the
land to good advantage. They sat
upon hills under which there was
plenty of iron, and fashioned their
weapons and tools from flint. They
froze to death as they slept above
inexhaustible supplies of coal. They
neglected to produce heavy crops
upon soil that has made the Ohio
farmer prosperous in good times.
And so they had to lose their land.
But, there is newer and better
spirit in the world, and that is the
spirit that would civilize without
destroying, that would educate with
friendliness, that would encourage
and strengthen, and not dispossess.
Mussollni has reverted to the an
cient practice. AS Caesar took Gaul
and the early Romans set up con-
troll in the Occident, SO Mussolinf
would wrest Ethiopia from it's peo-
pie.
