MRS. JOHNSON PASSED AWAY AT CITY HOSPITAL

The death of Mrs. Ada JOHNSON occurred at the city hospital Saturday night at eleven
o'clock. She had 
been sick only about a week, having been taken with what appeared to be acute
indigestion. Dr. Little 
was called but the disease would not yield to treatment, and grew worse making it
advisable to remove 
her to the hospital Friday. 

Mrs. JOHNSON had decided to return to Cedar Wooley, Washington and been packing up
her household 
goods preparatory to leaving for the West in a few days and it is though overwork
may have caused the 
sickness and hastened her death. Mrs. JOHNSON moved here from the West last December
with five of 
her children. her husband, Clarence JOHNSON, keeping two children with him and
expected later to join 
his wife here, but recently he decided not to come and wrote for her to return. The
news of her death 
will be a shock to him and the two children as he was not informed of her illness.
It is expected Mr. 
Johnson will arrive Thursday when arrangements for the funeral will be made. 

Mrs. JOHNSON was thirty-eight years old and was one of the OBERLIN family of ten
children, being the 
first to be taken by death. She was the sister of E.J. and Will OBERLIN of this
city, Oscar, Charles, 
Marshall and Frank OBERLIN of Blanchard, Jno. Oberlin of Mason and Jake OBERLIN of
Flint. one sister 
also survives her, Mrs. Ida TRAYER of Blanchard. 

Mrs. Johnson's sudden death, which takes a loving wife and mother, is a particularly
sad one for the 
husband and children.

FUNERAL OF MRS. JOHNSON HELD IN BLANCHARD

The remains of Mrs. Clarence Johnson were taken to Blanchard last Saturday for
interment in the 
cemetery near her old home. A brief service was held here at the house, Rev. W. E.
Doty officiating, and 
the funeral and burial service was conducted from the Trinity church near Blanchard
by Rev. E.J. 
Woodruff. Many of her old neighbors and friends near Blanchard attended the service
to pay their last 
respects. The funeral was a sad and impressive one and much sympathy was expressed
for the 
bereaved husband, who is left to care for the seven motherless children. Mr. Johnson
will leave for his 
home in the far West this week, taking the five children with him.
