Devoted to the Memory of My Beloved Husband, S.L. Johnson

On Thursday August 15th the death angel visited our home and took our dear 
loving husband and father home.  He had been confined to his bed only a few 
days but his sufferings were great ‘tho he bore them with patience and 
fortitude as is only witnessed in a Christian.  All that medical aid, a devoted 
wife, kind friends and relatives could do to alleviate his sufferings were all 
to no effect.  But loved ones we must strive to meet him in yonder world so 
bright where he will be waiting with that happy band to welcome us home.  Mr. 
Johnson was the son of Mrs. Adline Johnson who passed away four years ago.  He 
was born August 25, 1883 and died August 15, 1913.  His age was 30 years, 
liking 10 days; he was married to Miss Laura Peacock April 22nd, 1897.  He 
leaves to mourn his death a wife and four small children, three boys and a 
little girl baby who was only four days old when its father died and besides 
four sisters and one brother, namely: Mrs. S.B. Burke, Mrs. H.P. Bartlett, Mrs. 
G.W. Harris, of this county, Mrs. J.W. Brewer, of Texas and Mr. W.A. Johnson, 
also of this county.

We would enter the domestic circle only to say that both as a husband and 
father, he was all that could be desired.  The bereaved wife and orphaned 
children have been called upon to make the greatest of earthly sacrifices and 
he who inflicted upon them their greatest loss can alone give comfort to their 
sorrowing hearts, to His mercy we commend them.  One bright thought comes to us 
that our loss has been his gain and that some bright day we will meet him in a 
lovely home above where there is no pain or parting but all is joy, peace and 
love.

The funeral and interment took place at Bethlehem cemetery Friday at three 
o’clock.  Service was held by Rev. John Locke.
