GEORGE ELLIOTT JOHNSON

PEANUT BUYER DIES AFTER HEART ATTACK

   George Elliott Johnson, 62, for ten years a buyer for the Lummis Peanut 
Company, died at his home on Military Road, Suffolk, on Monday afternoon, 
June 9, following a brief illness.

   Mr. Johnson was a native of Carrsville, the son of the late George W. and 
Mrs. Margaret Carson Johnson.  For many years he was employed as a buyer for 
the Pretlow Peanut Company and the Franklin Peanut Company, but moved to 
Suffolk ten years ago, being connected with the Lummis Peanut Company of that 
city.  Last Saturday morning he suffered a heart attack and was stricken with 
paralysis, and died without regaining consciousness.  He was a member of the 
First Baptist Church of Suffolk and of the Franklin Lodge of Odd Fellows.

   Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Ella Darden Johnson; five sisters, Mrs. Myrtle 
J. Forbes of Franklin, Mrs. R.E.L. Kyle of Ocean View, and Mrs. J.R. Bracey 
and Misses Lucy and Geneva Johnson of Carrsville; besides a number of nieces 
and nephews.

   Funeral services for Mr. Johnson were conducted on Tuesday afternoon at 
3:30 o’clock at the Franklin Baptist Church, the officiating minister being 
his pastor, Rev. J. Lester Lane of Suffolk, assisted by Rev. Randolph Gregory 
of the Franklin Baptist Church and Rev. R.D. Stephenson of the Cradock Baptist 
Church.  Burial was in Poplar Spring Cemetery.
