OBITUARY.
Albert Edward Johnson was born in Sioux Valley township, Union county, S.D.,
March 2, 1888. Nearly all of his life was spent in this locality. Being of a
very happy disposition, he gained many friends. His musical talent was much
appreciated, as he took active interest in his church musical organizations,
Union Creek orchestra and choir. On September 27, 1903, he was baptized and
confirmed and thus became a communicant member of Union Creek Lutheran
Church. His life among us was short. The dreadful disease, consumption, was
the cause of his seemingly too early demise. For a while he lived in
Colorado, thinking that it would benefit him; but a few months ago he
returned in poorer health than when he left. Monday morning, November 20,
1911, at 8 o’clock, the summons came. Embracing his father, kissing him, he
bade him farewell saying, “Don’t cry, God will take care of you.” He also
bade farewell to his sister and one brother who were present, and greeted
those who were absent. He was 23 years, 8 months and 8 days old.

The funeral took place from the Union Creek Lutheran Church Thursday
afternoon in the presence of a large concourse of sympathizing friends. He
was laid to rest amid the beautiful floral offerings in the church cemetery.

His father, one sister, Mrs. Leander Manning; three brothers, Hilder, John
and August besides other relatives, are left to mourn his departure. But
they mourn not as they who have no hope, for Albert was prepared to go. His
mother and eight brothers and sisters have preceded him to eternity. Peace
to his memory.
CARD OF THANKS.
For the floral offerings and all expressions of sympathy in our time of
sorrow, we wish to express our heartfelt thanks. –John Johnson and family.
