Death of Mrs. Johnson

Mrs. Betsy Katherine Johnson died at her home in Meadow township Saturday night and was buried Sunday at the family burying ground near by. She was about 75 years of age and is survived by three sons, Messrs. W. A., A. M. and J. C. Johnson, and three daughters, Mrs. Nazro Parker and Misses Betsy and Allie Johnson.

She was a member of the Primitive Baptist church and the verdict of the conduct of her life as given by her many friends is that ``she was a mighty good woman.''

Her husband, Mr. Ausley Johnson died several years ago.
