In Memory of Mrs. Mattie R. Johnson

The departed wife, mother, sister and friend, was born in Tallapoosa County
Alabama, Jan. 17th, 1853.  Her father removed to Milltown in Chambers County,
where she was raised, when she was quite young.  She removed to Dale County, at
about the age of fourteen years.  She became a member of the Baptist Church at
Union, under the Ministry of Rev. Caswell Smith, in the summer of 1868.  She was
married to her now bereaved husband, on the 1st day of September 1870, and
departed this life in great peace on the 1st day of September 1885, having lived
with her husband fifteen years to a day.  She was rational to the last of her
life.  A short time before passing away, she called husband, children and
friends to her bedside, and bid them all a last farewell, exhorting her little
children to live right and meet her in Heaven.  She was happy beyond the power
of expression, and has gone to the blessed immortality of the faithful, “where
the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.”

She was the youngest of a large family, father, mother, three brothers and five
sisters, preceded her to the grave – all victims of that dread disease
consumption.
