He followed the occupation of a market gardener and was well known as a grower of peas and potatoes and by his friendly and courteous manner had made for himself a wide circle of friends. Left to mourn the passing of a beloved husband and father are his widow, five sons, Pte. George Johnson with the Oxford Rifles (A) at London; Robert, Toronto; James, Guy and LeRoy at home; four daughters, Hazel, Doris, Edna and Vera, at home. Also surviving are two brothers and three sisters in the United States, to all whom the sympathy of their many friends is extended. A funeral service was held at the family residence, McKeand Street, on Sunday afternoon at 4:00 o’clock, with Rev. Philip H. Hawtin, minister of the Ingersoll Pentecostal Tabernacle, officiating. The remains were forwarded by the 11:21 am CNR train on Monday to Milburn, Kentucky, for interment. Additional Comments: I know absolutley nothing about George's family in Kentucky.
