He was to have been married in September to Miss Mary Mihalovich of Des Moines.

He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Johnson; two brothers, Jack and Ralph Johnson; a sister, Ruth Johnson; all of Winterset; and another sister, Mrs. T. R. Swaine of Los Angeles, Cal.

Funeral services were held Monday with requiem high mass from St. Joseph's Catholic church in Winterset, in charge of the pastor, the Rev. William Hahessy, assisted by the Rev. M. J. Aspenwall of Des Moines. Mass was sung by St. Joseph's junior choir. Burial was at Winterset cemetery.
