Nancy Watkins Johnson 

Died

Johnson 

  Near Windsor, Va., Sept. 8th, 1909, Mrs. Nancy Wich [sic; Wyche] Johnson, 
relict of the late Madison Johnson, aged about 84 years.  Her husband died 
about seventeen years ago, leaving his wife, six sons and one daughter. 
They were members of Antioch Church.  Sister Johnson made a profession of 
religion when quite young and united with the Church and was one among the 
oldest and best members of Antioch and therefore she will be greatly missed 
in her home, community and church.  She was declining in health about two 
years and as the end drew near, she seemed to see her loved ones who were 
gone before her to the better land and would call them by name. 

  She was a good mother, neighbor and faithful to her church.  God bless 
the sacred memory of that dear mother.  Just before she passed away to her 
home in the bright mansions above, she called her children and asked them to 
meet her in Heaven.  She leaves six sons and one daughter, 31 grandchildren, 
and 25 great-grandchildren.  Her funeral services was conducted by her pastor 
at Antioch, and her remains were laid to rest in the church cemetery to await 
the resurrection morn.  God bless and comfort the dear bereaved ones. 
                                      H.H.B.
