BROTHER DIED IN WEST

Mrs. Julia Larson recently received word of the death of her brother, Sven Johnson of Helena, Mont., who died in a Helena hospital November 3, after an illness with heart trouble.

Mr. Johnson was born near Calamus November 11, 1865, and was nearly 67 years of age. He came to Roland with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Sven Johnson, when he was three years old and grew to manhood on the homestead southeast of Roland.

He went to Montana 45 years ago and has lived there since that time. The last time he was back here for a visit was 20 years ago.

He is survived by two children, a son in Los Angeles, Cal., and a daughter in Helena, Mont. He also leaves a sister, Mrs. Julia Larson of this place and two brothers, H. O. Johnson of Story City, and Martin Johnson of Ware, Mont.
