GEORGE JOHNSON PASSES AWAY IN 69TH YEAR 
The death of a well known and esteemed resident of Ingersoll, in the person of 
George Johnson, occurred at the family residence, McKeand street, on Saturday

The late Mr. Johnson who was in his 69th year, was born in the State of 
Kentucky, USA, on March 27th, 1874, and had been a resident of Ingersoll for 
the past 25 years. He followed the occupation of a market gardener and was 
well known as a grower of peas and potatoes and by his friendly and courteous 
manner had made for himself a wide circle of friends. 
Left to mourn the passing of a beloved husband and father are his widow, five 
sons, Pte. George Johnson with the Oxford Rifles (A) at London; Robert, 
Toronto; James, Guy and LeRoy at home; four daughters, Hazel, Doris, Edna and 
Vera, at home. 
Also surviving are two brothers and three sisters in the United States, to all 
whom the sympathy of their many friends is extended. 
A funeral service was held at the family residence, McKeand Street, on Sunday 
afternoon at 4:00 o’clock, with Rev. Philip H. Hawtin, minister of the 
Ingersoll Pentecostal Tabernacle, officiating. 
The remains were forwarded by the 11:21 am CNR train on Monday to Milburn, 
Kentucky, for interment.
