Mrs. Hughes north of town received a letter yesterday from Mr. and Mrs. Craig of Huron, Missouri, which told of the death of their daughter, Mrs. L. Johnson. Her death occurred March 13. She was twenty-nine years of age and leaves beside her husband four small children.

Mrs. Johnson was formerly Edith Craig. This is her native city, and for many years she lived with her parents before they removed to Missouri, about two miles northwest of town. ~ The Newton (IA) Daily News, Tuesday, March 26, 1907, Page 1, Column 6

======================
Bolivar, Mo., Free Press – Mrs. L. S. Johnson, wife of Lano Johnson and eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Craig, was born in Newton, Iowa, and died at her home near Huron at 4 o’clock Wednesday morning, March 18, 1907, aged 29 years, 2 months and 14 days. She was a member of the Congregational Church in Newton, Iowa. She leaves behind, besides her aged father and mother, brothers and sisters, her husband and four small children. The children are named Vera, aged 9, Maud, aged 6, Tom, aged 4, and Willard, aged 13 months. All the bereaved ones have the sympathy of the entire community. The funeral was conducted from her father’s home in Bolivar Thursday morning at 10 o’clock and interment was made in the Greenwood Cemetery. Separation must come sooner or later and it is only God’s grace and live that will sustain us. May the kind providence of the Heavenly Father always protect and care for the little ones left behind and may they be of use to the world and honor by their lives, their mother’s name. ~ The Newton (IA) Daily News, Wednesday, March 27, 1907, Page 1, Column 4
