Pickens Progress, July 8, 1958
Mr. J.M. Johnson Dies after Long Illness -

Mr. Joe Matt Johnson, 80, whose health had been growing steadily worse for 
years, died Sunday morning.

Mr. Johnson had spent his life in the vicinity of Jasper.  We had been 
personal friends for fifty-one years and during all that time we never knew 
him to do anything that was not honorable and above board.  He was a member of 
the Baptist church.

Funeral services were held monday, July 7, from Philadelphia Baptist church 
with Rev. Dewey Tucker, Rev. S.L. Padgett and Rev. Clay Westbrook 
officiating.  Pickens Star Lodge No. 220 F & A. M. had charge of graveside 
services.  The Chapman Funeral Home had charge of arrangments.  

He is surved by four sons, Mr. Carl Johnson, Mr. Hardy Johnson, Mr. Cecil 
Johnson and Mr. Marion Johnson; four daughter, Mrs. Elgin Stell, Mrs. Vernon 
Kincaid, Mrs. Jack Hamrick and Mrs. Houston Padgett all of near Jasper, one 
brother, Mr. Charlie Johnson, Griffin; two sisters, Mrs. Sarah Hughes, 
Kennesaw, and Mrs. J.J. Stipp, Jasper, 29 grandchildren and 7 great-
grandchildren.
