The writer held Thanksgiving service at their home in l900. Sister JOHNSON was a patient sufferer for about three months before her death and often praised God aloud for his goodness and a little while before her death, spoke of seeing her husband and other departed ones appearing to welcome her to the city of God. She died May l8, l903, her death being peaceful. She was a friend to all and was greatly esteemed by all who knew her. The community has lost a worthy Christian lady; one whose place will be hard to fill. Funeral services were held at Leon by the writer assisted by Rev. I.N. Woodward, after which her remains were laid to rest beside those of her husband in the Leon Cemetery. S. SAMSON. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert August 2, 200l
