The Portland Observer, Wednesday, April 12, 1882
The friends of the late Dr. Johnson will be pained to learn that about a week 
ago he began to show symptoms of blood poisoning, and it was feared by his 
physicians that an abcess was forming in the liver.  He failed rapidly till 
Monday P.M. when he died.  A post mortem examination held upon his body 
Tuesday P.M. revealed a large abcess in the right lobe of the liver, and a 
general infiltration of pus through the entire system.

Augustus N. Johnson was born in Newbery, Indiana.  His family moved to 
Michigan when he was seven years old, he has resided at Fenton and Newaygo.  
He graduated at the dental school at Ann Arbor in the spring of 81 and came to 
Portland to practice.  Since that time he has been gaining rapidly in 
profession, and in the love and respect of his fellow citizens.  Few men had 
the faculty of making friends that he had and his loss will be long and deeply 
felt. Prayer was held this morning at his late residence from which he was 
taken to Fenton where he will be buried beside his father.

Resolutions of Respect:

Resolutions of condolence on the death of Augustus Neil Johnson, passed April 
10th, 1882 by Portland Lodge, No. 60, A.O.U.W.,

Whereas, it hath pleased the Supreme ruler of the Universe to remove from 
earth our worthy and esteemed Brother Augustus Neil Johnson, and

Whereas, the patient, humble and upright life he lived while among us won for 
him the esteem, friendship and brotherly love of all who knew him, therefore,

Resolved, that in the death of him we have lost a true and faithful brother, 
and his family a kind and indulgent husband and father.  May our lives be such 
that when we are called to depart this life we may be found as worthy to enter 
the Grand Lodge above where the Grand Master Workman of the universe presides 
as he who has gone before.

Resolved, that we tender to the bereaved family and friends of our sympathy in 
this their sad bereavement and express an earnest hope that even so great a 
bereavement may be overruled for their highest good.

Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be presented to the family of our 
deceased brother under the seal of this Lodge, also a copy published in the 
Portland Observer and a copy spread upon the record of this lodge.

Resolved, that this lodge be draped in mourning for the term of thirty days 
from April 10th, 1882.

Card of Thanks:

I take this way of expressing to my many kind friends my most sincere and 
heartfelt thanks for the great kindness they have shown me in my severe 
affliction.  Words cannot express my feelings but God will reward you kind 
friends.

Ida Johnson
