DELLIE THOMAS JOHNSON

   Dellie Thomas Johnson, age 90*, died at his home at Handsom Monday 
afternoon, April 1.  He is survived by one daughter, Miss Ella Johnson; one 
son, Pete Johnson; a grandson, Oscar Johnson; four great-grandchildren, and 
a sister, Mrs. Camdin Francis, all of Handsom.

   In the passing of Mr. Johnson the Handsom community loses its oldest and a 
highly esteemed citizen. His familiar figure will be greatly missed.

   Funeral services were held from the residence Tuesday afternoon, conducted 
by his Pastor, Rev. J.K. Holman.  Burial was made in the family plot on the 
old Rountree farm nearby.  Active pallbearers were E.T. Johnson, Harry Fowler, 
James Tharrington, T.V. Bailey, Algy Fowler and A.J. Whiltey.
