Annie A., wife of S. M. Johnson died at Brightwater, Ark., Jan. 31, age 69 years, 7 months, and 2 days. She was converted when young and joined the Missionary Baptist Church in August 1848, in which capacity she served God until He took her to the church of the first born which are in Heaven. Heb xii, 23.
She was at her son's Dr. Arthur Johnson, when typhoid fever laid its fatal hand upon her.

Her remains were brought to Washburn where the funeral was conducted and her body buried in the Prairie graveyard.

She had been a suffer for many years and was deprived of the public means of grace, that we never visited her at anytime that she did not delight in talk about religion and express great anxiety for the salvation of her children and request us to pray for them. And we are glad to state that her prayers were answered before she left this world as we are informed that all her children are converted.

Thank God for praying mothers. She leaves five children - two boys and three girls - together with grand children to mourn their loss. But one by one they will come the river and grasp the hand of mother where parting is no more.

"Oh, how sweet will it be in that beautiful land; so free from all sorrow and pain." E. W. McCracken.
