The Belding Banner, Thursday, March 5, 1903
Lucretia M. Johnson passed away last Saturday at 2:30 p.m. from her home on 
Bridge street in this city, after about a week’s illness of erysipelas, in the 
76th year of her age.  

Lucretia M. Nichols was born in Middleberry, Wyoming county, N.Y., on March 
25, 1827.  When about three years old she removed with her parents to New 
Albion, Cattaraugus county, N.Y., where she resided until 21 years old, when 
she was married to Alvah Johnson.  A few years lager they removed to Waupun, 
Fond du Lac county, Wis., where they resided about four years.  They then 
returned to Cattaraugus county, N.Y., where they remained about nine years.  
About 30 years ago they came to Michigan and located on a farm in Orleans 
township, Ionia County.

Her husband, Alvah Johnson, died in 1888, aged 84 years, and his remains were 
buried in the Green’s church cemetery.  About four years ago she purchased a 
house and lot on Bridge street in this city where she has since resided.

Six children were born to his union, four of whom are now living, as follows:  
Frances O. Johnson, of Rapid City, Mich.; Hattie D. Hall, of Chadwick; Sophia 
Bates, of Belding; and Andrew Johnson, of Orleans township.

Mrs. Johnson has been a devoted Christian for more than half a century and her 
noble traits of character and sterling worth have won for her the love and 
esteem of all who have had the pleasure of her acquaintance.  

Funeral services were held at Green’s church in Orleans last Monday at 2:00 
p.m. conducted by Mrs. J.W. Ayling.  Burial in the family lot in the Green’s 
church cemetery.
