The many friends of Johnny Nixon were startled Saturday morning when it became known that he had gone to his long home Friday evening at nine o’clock. He was taken seriously ill with pneumonia four weeks ago and has been very bad, the whole time taking but very little nourishment. He was not afraid of death. Johnny will be missed in the home and community, for to know him was to love him. He leaves a father, mother and three brothers to mourn his loss. A life cut off when just budding into manhood.

John, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. I. Nixon, of Hanley, who has been in delicate health for many months, and an intense but patient sufferer without the slightest hope of recovery during the five or six weeks last past, was relieved by death on the evening of Friday last, and on the following day the remains were interred in the St. Charles cemetery. A long procession expressed the sympathy felt. John was an intelligent young man of excellent character, good composition and exemplary habit.

Note: Burial was made in the St. Charles cemetery.
