MRS. PHOEBE A. JOHNSTON.

  EDS. TRIBUNE: Died, at Mines, March 2, 1889, Mrs. Phoebe A. Johnston, 
aged 39 years, 2 months and 18 days.  Mrs. Johnston passed through a
severe illness of bilious fever.  She leaves a husband a seven children
with a large circle of friends to mourn their loss.  She was an
affectionate wife and a devoted mother.  During her sickness her
anxiety was for her children, but in her closing hours of life her
thoughts were upon her Redeemer.  We have laid her away to rest until
the trumpet tones of the archangel shall awake the peaceful sleepers
from the dust.
  Funeral services were held in the Methodist Episcopal church.  Words 
of comfort were spoken by the writer from I Peter, i, 24, after which
the remains were taken to the Furnace cemetery for interment.
                                       J. D. MULHOLLEN.
