Johnson Edith Katherine Johnson, daughter of Mrs. and Mrs. J.O. Johnson of Payette, died at the home of her parents last Saturday, January 13, at 1 o'clock p.m., after several weeks illness with typhoid fever. The deceased was born at Santaquin, Utah, and at the time of her death was 17 years, 10 months and 14 days of age. She came to Payette from Utah nearly two years ago with her parents and brothers and sisters, and by her many lovable qualities had made many warm friends here, who join with the bereaved family in the deepest grief for her loss. For several months prior to her death, Miss Johnson had been in Boise and was taken ill in that city, having come to Payette, on the advice of a physician, so that she could be under the care of relatives as she continued to decline in health. She had been at home for about two weeks at the time of her death. Funeral services were held on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the Christian church, interment having been at Riverside cemetery. Rev. W. E. Bobbitt conducted the services. Six young women acted as pall bearers and a large number of the saddened young people, who had been associates of the deceased, were present, the attendance in general having been so large that many had to stand. The casket was literally hidden in a profusion of flowers, the offerings of sorrowing relatives and friends of the departed one.
