In Memory of Grandpa

On Saturday, April 20th, 1907 the Angel of Death entered our home and community 
and bore the gentle spirit of our dear old sainted father, grandfather, brother 
and friend, Mr. Marion Johnson, to a better world.  The life he lead makes us 
believe he is at rest.  He was sick six days.  On Saturday evening he was 
apparently well, but was taken sick very suddenly Sunday morning.  He was a 
kind and affectionate husband and father; he taught his children to live an 
upright life and to love and trust God.  His dear wife preceded him to the 
grave twenty-eight years ago last March.  During the great part of the time 
that he was left alone he made his home with his youngest child, Mr. W.B. 
Johnson, where he received the kindest of attention.  

He leaves one sister, Mrs. Martha Parker, two daughters, Mrs. Mary McCart, of 
Milligen, Fla., and Mrs. Eliza Harris, and two sons, Messrs. Frank and W.B. 
Johnson, and a large number of grandchildren and great grandchildren to mourn 
their loss.

All his children except his daughter in Florida were with him during his 
sickness.

Let us follow in the steps of grandpa, that we bear the name he did; he bore no 
prejudice to anyone.

He was born August 20, 1822 and was 84 years and 8 months old.  We are thankful 
to God that He spared him this long, yet we are loath to give him up.

On Sunday, April 21, we sadly followed him to the cemetery at Bethel; Rev. Joe 
Short conducted the last sad rites by reading scripture and having prayer; then 
with tear stained eyes we saw him laid beneath the sod by loving hands.

May the Lord sustain us in this our sorest trial, and may his richest blessing 
be to those that served him in his last hours of affliction, is the prayer of 
his loving granddaughter, 

Odessa Harris

On Saturday morning, April 20th, the soul of Mr. France Johnson quietly and 
peacefully passed out of this world into the great beyond.  He was sick only a 
week.  The death of Mr. Johnson ends the life of a noble man, ever ready to 
assist the distressed and alleviate the weight of misfortune.  He survived by 
four children.  The remains were laid to rest at Bethel cemetery Sunday morning.
