James JOHNSON Newspaper: New Hampton Tribune, Vol. LV, No. 4 Date: January 28, 1931 JIM JOHNSON DIED FROM HEART ATTACK Splendid Man, Always Active, Is Called In His Sixty-ninth Year James JOHNSON, the brick and stone mason, died at his home in New Hampton, Thursday morning, January 23, 1931. Death was due to enlargement of the heart (myocarditis). He had been sick but a week. The deceased was born in Dane County, Wisconsin, July 1, 1862. He was married on January 6, 1886, to Miss Nellie OLSON. To this union five children were born, two of whom died in infancy, and three of whom with their mother, remain to mourn his death. The living children are John of Sacramento, California, Mildred at home, but a student in Columbia University, New York City, and Harold of Columbus, Ohio. He also leaves one grandson, one sister, Mrs. Nels JOHNSON of Adams, Minnesota, and one brother, John JOHNSON of Minot, North Dakota. THis funeral services were held on Monday afternoon from the Crane Creek Lutheran Church, and burial was in that parish cemetery. Services were conducted by the pastor, Reverend H.O. FINSTAD. Jim JOHNSON was a fine old man and many are sorry that he has been called from earth. He was a man of good habits, moral character, sturdy constitution and he continued to be active in his accustomed pursuits, that of stone mason, brick laying, plastering and cementing, after the usual age men ordinarily drop out of the ranks of the workers. We mourn with his family and to his wife and children and other relatives we extend sincere sympathy. Contributed By: Jim JOHNSON Email: jimjoyce1@juno.com |
