Loses Life In Well

Mr. John B. Johnson, living about two miles from Juniper, and well known to 
many of our readers, was killed in a well on Edgar Chalkley’s place on 
Wednesday the 6th.

Mr. Johnson was cleaning out the old well intending to dig it some deeper, when 
it caved in, pushing the boards up against.  He cried for help but before 
sufficient help could reach him he was dead.  He leaves a wife and five 
children, two of whom are married.

On Thursday morning, Jan. 7, one of the saddest accidents ever happened in this 
community, occurred to Mr. John Johnson, at the home of J.E. Chalkley.  Mr. 
Johnson was cleaning out a well, which caved in on him, suffocating him.  He is 
survived by a wife and five children – Mrs. John Johnson, Mrs. Viola Hamilton, 
Mrs. Jennie Melvin, Messrs. Henry, John Jr., and Edward Johnson, and also a 
host of relatives and friends.  We feel that our loss is his gain.



Additional Comments:
Transcriber's note: Both articles list a different date of death for Mr. 
Johnson.  I'm not a researcher of this family and don't know the correct date.
