Starkie Johnson

Starkie Lee Johnson was born August 25, 1883 and died August 15, 1913.  His 
remains were buried at Bethlehem church in this county, Rev. John Locke 
performing the funeral services.

Starkie was born and reared in this county.  From childhood up his conduct and 
deportment was characterized by a gentle, quiet modest demeanor.  Truth and 
honor were his armor.  He scorned a mean or cowardly act.  He was to falsehood 
a stranger.  Though not rich in the material things of life, and though limited 
in educational training, he yet in his quiet, uncomplaining way grappled 
manfully with the pressing cares and problems of life and although cut off as 
he was in the prime of his young manhood, he had as a citizen, a husband and 
father succeeded in a large measure.  Actuated by a pardonable pride, he had 
spent his young life in building up and taking care of the old homestead where 
he was born.  The life of the old homestead will greatly miss him; but some 
other home and sphere will be richer and brighter by Starkie’s translation.

Mrs. Ada Burke
