The Henry County Weekly, December 2, 1892
Mother and Daughter Die.
     Mrs. Jane Johnson and daughter of Clayton County died suddenly last 
Wednesday under peculiar and distressing circumstances. 
     Mrs. Johnson was the niece of the late Capt. Adam Sloan who witnessed his 
horrible killing. She was well known in McDonough where she had many friends 
who regret to hear of her sad death. 
     We clip the following from the Jonesboro Enterprise: 
     "Two deaths in one family just 24 hours apart. That happened just four 
miles below Jonesboro this week in one of the best families in this section. 
Miss Carrie Johnson daughter of Mrs. Jordan Johnson grew very sick suddenly. A 
physician was summoned at an early hour on Wednesday morning and shortly after 
he arrived the young lady was cold in death. Immediate preparation was begun 
for the funeral which was to occur on Thursday morning, the mother of the young 
lady Mrs. Jordan Johnson was almost prostrated with grief and took to her bed. 
The family and friends who were present soon discovered that the good old 
mother was not only suffering from grief but that she too was a victim to the 
ill that had just taken the life of the young lady. The physician was again 
hastily summoned this time for the mother and when he arrived the aged lady was 
unconscious and her suffering was terrible. He immediately requested that other 
physicians be called in for consultation which was complied with but the 
combined medical skill of four physicians failed to bring relief and the aged 
mother was soon a corpse with the daughter. Mr. Adam Johnson a son and brother 
in law of the dead was threatened with an attack of the pernicious fever but at 
last account he was improving. 
     “The funeral and interment will occur at Noah's Ark Church today at 1 
o'clock. We sympathize deeply with the sorrowing ones.”
