Neighbors here wish to offer condolence to John M. Johnson and wife of Cross Roads dist. as the angel of death visited their home on March 30th and claimed their second son, Leonard A., aged 2 months and 9 days, death resulting from whooping cough and pneumonia.

His funeral was held at the W.P.C. church on April 1st, Rev. Gronlid officiating. The pall bearers were four little cousins, Tommy and Dewey Kolsrud, Joseph Geving and Melvin Olson.

A little flower to us was given, to bud on earth but to bloom in Heaven.

~The Allamakee Journal, Wednesday, April 10, 1918; pg 4 (Cherry Mound correspondence column)

Note: His parents were John M. Johnson and Theo. Matilda Kolsrud. He has a gravestone in Old West Paint Creek cemetery.
