Johnson, died at the home of her son-in-law, George Holland, this city, Friday, Jan. 9, 1891. She was born April 23, 1881[Note: typo. 1818], in Lexington, Ky., and has lived in Shelby and Moultrie counties, Illinois, for many years. Was the mother of fifteen children, four sons and five daughters survive her, and the other six have gone on before.
She came from her son's in Sullivan to nurse her daughter, Mrs. George Holland, and took sick and lay suffering for six weeks with rare patience and Christian resignation. For she was a sincere and hopeful Christian until death relieved her. Rev. J. L. Douthit conducted the funeral service at the house on Sunday, Jan. 11, and, the worn out body was laid in the city cemetery.
