Dagny Johnson-

Last Saturday morning, little Gagny Johnson, the four year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Johnson of Sabula, was the victim of one of the saddest misfortunes that could befall her. She was standing near the stove when she slipped in some manner and in falling grabbed the handle of a boiling pot of coffee, which tipped over on her, scalding her so badly that mortal assistance was of no avail. Everything possible was done to save her and relieve her sufferings, but her untimely end came Tuesday, March 2, at 3:30 p.m. She was born May 24, 1916, and was 3 years, 9 months and 7 days old when she died. She was the only girl of four children and is survived by a sorrowing mother, father, and three brothers, Carl, Axel and Harry.-Sabula Gazette.
