Distressing Accident!

Death of Jesse Johnson

We have never seen our community so shocked and saddened as on yesterday 
afternoon when intelligence reached town that Jesse Johnson had been 
accidentally killed by his own hand.  He was at the house of Mrs. Dick, and 
had spent the forenoon in hunting in company with Mr. John Dick.  After 
dinner they were making ready to resume their sport, and Mr. Johnson was 
reloading one barrel of his gun.  By some unfortunate mishap the other 
barrel was discharged, the entire load taking effect – in his face and hand.  
He expired almost instantly.

Mr. Johnson was the junior member of the firm of Garner & Johnson, merchants 
of our town, and was in the prime of young and vigorous manhood.  A 
successful business career and a long life were seemingly assured.  But “in 
the midst of life we are in death.”

Mr. Johnson was exceedingly quiet and retired in his habits, never 
interfering with the business of another or speaking evil of anyone.  He 
leaves a host of friends to mourn his untimely death, who in common with us, 
tender to his bereaved mother, his brothers and sisters, their sincerest 
condolences and sympathy.
