GEORGE B. JOHNSTON

  George B. Johnston, a former resident of Meyersdale, and well-remembered 
through frequent visits here after he moved away, died July 22 in the Masonic 
and Eastern Star Home in Washington, D.C., where he had lived since the death of 
his wife about seven years ago.
  Mrs. Johnston was a native of Summit Mills, the former Miss Laura Wagner, 
daughter of Philip and Elizabeth (McDivid) Wagner, both long deceased.  Mr. and 
Mrs. Johnston were a very congenial and happy couple and had a host of friends 
in Somerset County, as well as in Washington, D.C., where they lived for many 
years.
  Mr. Johnston was born in Philadelphia, May 22, 1862, and was aged 81 years and 
two months when he passed away.  He is survived by three daughters, Mrs. George 
Snow, California, Mrs. Stanley Marean of Idaho, and Mrs. Wiant, New Jersey.
