SALLIE FLOWERS JOHNSON

DEATH OF MRS. WM. JOHNSON 

   Mrs. Sallie Flowers Johnson, widow of William Johnson, a prominent and well-
beloved citizen of our town, died at her home in Norfleet Street Tuesday 
afternoon after an illness of about 14 months.  Mrs. Johnson was in her 83rd 
year and was a native of Anson County, N.C.  The Johnson family moved to this 
community from Scotland County, N.C., in 1905, and a few years later removed 
to Franklin.  Their golden wedding anniversary celebrated here in January, 
1921, was an interesting event, Mr. Johnson dying February 21, 1927.  Mrs. 
Johnson was a noble Christian woman of many fine qualities, and an ideal home-
maker.  She had been a member of the Baptist church since childhood, and 
united with the Franklin Baptist Church when the family came to Virginia.

   She is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Geo. W. Livermon and Miss Sara 
Johnson of Norfolk and Miss Carrie Johnson of Franklin; by two sons, T.P. 
Johnson of Philadelphia and James A. Johnson of this town; one brother, Thomas 
Flowers of Mooresville, N.C., and a sister, Miss Florence Flowers of Franklin.

   Funeral services were conducted from the residence Wednesday afternoon at 4 
o’clock by Mrs. Johnson’s pastor, Rev. R.D. Stephenson and interment was made 
in Poplar Spring Cemetery.  The body bearers were: J.F. Bryant, Jr., W.O. 
Bristow, W.H. Lankford, Joe Bynum Gay, S.W. Rawls and J.O. Haslett, James 
Andrew Vaughan of New York and L.L. Vaughan of Raleigh.  The honorary 
pallbearers were: A.L. Gardner, Dr. J.C. Rawls, Dr. Burton J. Ray, Dr. W.H. 
Arthur, Jas. L. Camp, Jr., Ryland Camp, G.M. Whitley, J.A. Jackson, Claude J. 
Edwards, J.R. Howell, R.E.L. Watkins, J.T. Edwards, R.H. Harrell, J. Edward 
Moyler, G.R. Eubank, and R.T. Tompkins of Boykins.
