C. W. JOHNSON. Died at Her Home in Plymouth, Mon- day, Oct. 21, 1918, Aged 32 Years 8 Months and 7 Days. Again the death angel has entered our midst, and from a home has taken a most prized treasureMother. Rhoda Grace Cornelius, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Perry Cornelius was born Feb. 14, 1886, and departed this life, Oct. 21, 1918, being 32 years, 8 months and 7 days old. On April 26, 1902 she was united in marriage to Curtis Johnson. To this happy union were born six children. Three children, Benjamin F., Myrtle and Earl Perry are left with their father to mourn her departure, three children having preceded their mother in death. Though death came to her in early life when there was so much for which to live, yet it found her not unprepared. Years ago she gave her heart to Jesus and united with the Christian church of which she remained a consistent member until her death. Her death was full of triumph. She left a bright and shining testimony of her hope for the future, saying to those about her; "I am crossing the Dark River; I am going to meet my little ones, it is well," and with a song upon her lips she passed out of this life into more abundant life. Today we lay to rest the broken casket but God has in His own keeping the invaluable gemthe soul. Death to the believer is not like the evening star sinking into darkness but like the morning star, lost in the brightness of day. Besides the husband and three children who mourn their loss, she leaves four brothers, Arthur, somewhere in France, John, Marshalltown, Ia., Ollie, and Benjamin of Hannibal, Mo., and one sister, Mrs. Rilla Harrison of Hannibal, Mo., and other relatives and friends. To these I would say, "Weep not as those who have no hope, she is not deadshe lives more abundantly over there. The sunset of her life here was but the sunrise of her life over there. Let the cords of her love, the memory of her life and devotion linger about you, and when it is your time to go may you be sustained by the same God whom she loved and trusted. There is no death! The stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore, And bright in heaven's jeweled crown They shine forevermore. There is no death! An angel form Walks o'er the earth with silent tread; He bears our best loved things away, And then we call them "dead." He leaves our hearts all desolate; He pucks our fairest, sweetest flowers Transplanted into bliss, they now Adorn immortal bowers. Funeral services were held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the late residence conducted by Rev. A. E. Cole of the Plymouth Methodist church; interment in the Plymouth cemetery.

They are the parents of two children: 1- Patricia born May 27, 1934, married Mark A. Wentworth. They have two sons, Aaron age 5 and Nathan age 4. Mr Wentworth is a Doctor in Waymea Clinic. Mrs. Wentworth is a Methodist minister. The family live on the Island of Kauai, Hawaii. The second child of Robert and Virginia Zinn is Harry C. born January 20, 1948.
