DEATH FOLLOWS
HEART ATTACK
MRS. JACOB JOHNSON PASSED
AWAY SATURDAY MORNING
Was 65 Years Old and Had Resided
Here Nearly 30 Years.—Leaves
Husband and Two Sons

Mrs. Jacob H. Johnson, a resident
of Hawarden for almost thirty years,
passed away at her home in this city
at 6:30 Saturday morning. Mrs. Johnson
had enjoyed good health until two
weeks preceding her death when she
was taken ill. She apparently was recovering
from her ailment when she
suffered a heart attack and death
claimed her Saturday morning.

Funeral services were held at the
Barnard Funeral Home at 2:30 Tuesday
afternoon with Rev. T. H. Harding,
pastor of the Associated church,
in charge. Miss Dorothy Olson, with
Mrs. Arol Sipes as accompanist, sang
a solo. Burial was in Grace Hill Cemetery.

Axelena Olson was born in Varmland,
Sweden, May 8, 1874, and passed
away September 30, 1939, having
attained the age of 65 years, 4 months
and 22 days. She came to America
with her parents in 1889. She was
united in marriage with Jacob Johnson
at Canton April 20, 1900, and to
this union were born three children,
one of whom, a daughter, preceded her
in death. In 1910 Mr. and Mrs. Johnson
came to Hawarden to make their
home and she has lived in this city
continuously since that time. She is
survived by her husband and two sons,
Alvin of Colorado Springs, Colo., and
Lloyd of Hawarden. She also leaves
three sisters to mourn her passing,
Mrs. John Hanson, Garretson, S. D.,
Mrs. Halvor Lee and Mrs. Ben Jacobson
of Canton.

Mrs. Johnson was of a quiet and
unassuming disposition but was kind
and thoughtful toward others. The
welfare and comfort of her family was
her uppermost thought and no sacrifice
was too great for her to make in
caring for them. She was a kind
neighbor and friend and many outside
the family circle will mourn her passing.
