From The Buena Vista Argus, (Marion Co, GA) Wednesday
morning, April 7 1880, an obituary for Elizabeth HART
JOHNSON:

"Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson was born in Warren Co, Georgia,
and died of malaria fever in Marion county, (GA) on the
20th of March, 1880--aged 58.  Mrs. Johnson was a
daughter of Mr. Barney Hart, so well and favorably known,
and joined her hopes and labors for life's real ties with
those of Mr. Geo S. Johnson, in 1837.  In that year the
mercy and wonderful love of God crowned her heart and
soul with forgiveness for sin, after which she joined the
M. E. Church, to which she belonged until her death.  Up
to near the close of the war she was an active, zealous
member of the church, shedding light and imparting
comfort upon all whom she met.  She moved to Marion
county in 1839, and in her new home, she began life anew
by reconsecration of soul and membership at Tazewell,
where she despersed joy by her smiles, and assurance by
her counsel.  Near the close of the war she lost her two
oldest sons. That saddened her heart and clouded her mind
with grief.  These destroyers of human happiness preyed
upon her tenderness with unusual pungeney, which with her
ended only with her life.

"She leaves a husband and six children--three sons and
three daughters--to mourn her death.
