Mrs. Pattie
C. Johnston Dead—
The death of
this estimable, Christian lady
was not a surprise to her many
friends of this community, who
stood about her bedside for more
than a week hoping, praying,
that her life might be spared.
But all earthly efforts were
unavailing, and last Thursday
night at 7:30 her soul went to
meet its God.—
The deceased was
the widow of Mr. J. M. Johnston,
who was a prominent citizen of
this county, and who died many
years ago. She was a
native of Marion county, her
maiden name being Miss
Pattie C. Cass. She was
about 55 years old, and
throughout her life was know as
a good neighbor, a true
Christian and a faithful friend.
For years she had been a devoted
member of the Methodist church,
and took great interest in
religious work. The
funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Jesse L. Murrell at the
Methodist church in this city
last Friday and the remains
interred in the city cemetery.
To those who
have bereft this community
extends it profoundest sympathy. |
