Hi all, copied this at Morgantown, Colson Hall, Believe Robert Johnson mentioned is same Robert we connect to.. let me know what you think Thursday May 13, 1920 Philippi Republican Meadowville, WV May 10-- It was a great shock to the people of this community, when on last Saturday morning at 10 o'clock the sad news was flashed over the local telephone lines that Mrs. Helen Angeline Johnson, wife of Levi Johnson, had died very suddenly at her home, Sunnyside two miles east of Meadowville. Saturday morning her husband went on an errand to the house of a neighbor nearby and when he returned she told him she had everything in readiness to make a contemplated visit to their two youngest sons, who moved to Dauphin, Canada, last month, except to have a line placed in the house upon which to hang some clothing during their absence to keep the rats a nd mice from cutting them. Mr. Johnson told her he would place it when he returned from fixing a water gap, which needed his attention. When he returned after being from the house a short time he found her lying upon the door dead from a stroke of apoplexy. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were just concluding all arrangements to spend the summer with their sons in Canada, starting in early June and returning in the fall to Elkins where they expected to make their future home. Mrs. Johnson was the oldest daughter of Emory and Catherine GAINER) POLING and was born on June 5, 1854 on a farm on the waters of Teter's Creek adjoining that upon which she died and therefore 65y 11 months and 3 days old. Her father died when she was 12 years old and it devolved upon her to help her mother in raising her younger brothers and sisters, who were James S. who married Louisa Workman and is a prosperous farmer living at Valley Furnace in Cove District; Salathiel, who lives on the old homestead and is one of the best farmers in this vicinity, married Jeanette Ferguson, of Randolph County; Anzina, married Stewart Wilmoth, who sold his property in Cove District to James S. Poling and bought the Daniels farm near Elkins, where he made extensive improvements and a few years since moved to Dauphin, Canada, where he purchased a large tract of land; Augusta, married Robert F. Johnson, who owns a large tract of land at the foot of Laurel Hill,the property upon which his great grand father Robert Johnson, the first settler of that name in this vicinity located. Solomon T. youngest brother is deceased. Her mother, Mrs. Catherine Poling, now 88 years old survives her. She was married to Levi Johnson March 4, 1873, by Rev. Lambert and shortly after their marriage moved in the old homestead, where Mr. Johnson's grandfather, Levi and his wife Rebecca (Cross) Johnson settled in their early married life and lived until his death entertaining many a weary traveler during the night as they made their way from western counties of Virginia over mountains into eastern counties. The children born to this union were Senator Herman G. Johnson, of Elkins, who married Mary R. Barnes, and is editor of the Inter Mountain. Bernice, who married Charter A. Skidmore, of New Interest District. and now lives in Cumberland, MD; Otie E. who married A. B Vannoy, and now lives in Elkins; Emery and John, twins died in infancy; Lloyd S. who married Ora Parks, daughter of the late Benj. F. Parks; Stuart who married Ethel, youngest daughter of the late James B. Elliott; these two sons and their families live in Dauphin, Canada; Helen, the youngest daughter, married Wesley C. Hedrick, and lives in Frostburg, MD. On last Thanksgiving the sons and daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson gathered with their children at the old homestead- 21 in all-- an unusual gathering, for until that time only two boys above mentioned who died in infancy and a little son of Mr. and Mrs. Hedrick who died in infancy were missing from the family circle. Brief services were held at the family residence after which the body was conveyed to Central Chapel. where funeral services was conducted by the Rev. A. B. Moore, assisted by the pastor the Rev. E. B. Ware. Rev. Moore preached from the wonderful exhortation of Christ to His Disciples "Ye Believe in God, Believe Also in Me" His discourse was full of comfort. He had known the deceased all her life, from earliest childhood, having been born on adjoining farms and being the greater part of his life her nearest neighbor, he could speak of her in the highest terms as a kind Christian wife and mother. The husband and children have the deep sympathy of all their friends as a home is broken up, one of the saddest things in life, but God knows best. Signed W.S. Lang
