After suffering for months, Mrs. Andrew Johnson died Sunday morning at her home on West Second street. She had been a patient sufferer during her long sickness, being always cheerful and hopeful even to the last. She was a good woman, her first thoughts being for the members of her family to whom she was deeply devoted. She was a
true Christian and had been a devout member of the Baptist church since 1888.

Funeral services will be held this Wednesday, afternoon at the residence at 1:30 and at the Baptist church at 2 o'clock conducted by the pastor, Rev. Carroll and the remains interred in Riverside cemetery.
