JOHNSON, Dolly. (*Extracted from the Anderson Herald, February 25, 1908, Special to the Herald). [Surnames: JOHNSON, ANDERSON, DELAWTER, REID] Dolly JOHNSON IS DEAD AT HER HOME West of the City-Was One of the Pioneers-Survived by Four Children. Mrs. Dolly Johnson, aged 82, widow of the late John Johnson, died at 1 o'clock this morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Anderson, three miles east of Lapel. Mrs. Johnson had been sick for some time with heart trouble and a general breaking down due to old age, but had only been confined to her bed a week. She leaves four children: Martha Johnson, of Perkinsville; Mrs. Rosa Anderson, of east of Lapel; Mrs. Jonathan Delawter and Mrs. Mary Reid of Anderson. Mr. Johnson died about twenty years ago and Mrs. Johnson lived on the old home farm, east of where she died, for a number of years, but after selling the farm to John Haas of Anderson, she lived with her children. No funeral arrangements have as yet been made, but the funeral will probably be held some time tomorrow. The body will be interred in the Pendleton cemetery, where Mr. Johnson was buried.

JOHNSON, John J. *(Extracted from the Anderson Democrat, Friday, 14 October 1892, Vol. 24, No. 13. Front Page.) [Surnames: JOHNSON] Obituary of John J. JOHNSON - SNAPPED - In An Instant the Thread of Life Gives Way--One Moment In perfect Health, the Next Struggling in the Last Throes of Death--John J. Johnson a Prominent Farmer of Stonycreek Township Stricken with Heart Disease--His Head Drops on His Breast and he Expires Instantly.

In an instant the thread of life gave way, and the victim who a moment before appeared in perfect health lay struggling in the last throes of death. A death more tragic than that of John J. Johnson has not occurred to shock the people of Stonycreek township in a long while. The sudden summons came as unexpected as a clap of thunder from a clear day. In splendid health and to all appearances a long life of usefulness before him, the grim monster invaded the household and with icy touch claimed the head of the family. John J. Johnson was one of Stonycreek township's best known men. He lived on a splendid farm at Johnson's crossing six miles west of the city on the Chicago and Southeastern railroad. He has long been prominent in the affairs of the neighborhood and in all questions of local interest his word carried weight.

On Friday Mr. Johnson went to Knightstown to visit a daughter. When he left home he was in the best of spirits and enjoyed his usual degree of health. Yesterday, while sitting in a chair in his daughters home talking with those about him his head suddenly fell forward on his breast and the next moment death claimed the victim. So terribly sudden was the summons that the family were hardly able to realize what had happened until it was all over. Mr. Johnson was a powerfully built man, standing over six feet in height he was big in proportion and could be readily classed among the larger sized men in the county. In former days he was stout as a giant but a few years ago, had an experience that shattered his health somewhat and he has probably not been as strong since. The same sort of experience would have killed nine men out of ten and it was only Mr. Johnson's robust constitution that enabled him to pull through. Democrat readers will remember the story and it is not necessary to go into details. He and a neighbor named (Hawkins) had a disagreement. Mr. Johnson always had the reputation of being a quiet, peaceable man, but on the other hand, Hawkins was looking for trouble. Accordingly, he shouldered his gun and started after Johnson, who at that time was post master at Johnson's Crossing. Going to the post office, Hawkins with fearful desperation opened fire and did not cease shooting until he had sent five bullets crashing into Johnson's body. Supposing he had killed his man, Hawkins retraced his steps and going to his own barn a few rods away, blew his own brains out. After a hard tussle, Mr. Johnson survived his numerous wounds but it was a severe strain upon his hitherto rugged constitution. His health was considerably shattered by the ordeal through which he passed and he was never as stout a man afterward. People who live in the vicinity of Johnson's crossing have the highest regard for their old associate and neighbor and his death is greatly deplored. The remains passed through the city at noon today enroute from Knightstown to his late house in Stonycreek township.

KNIGHT, Joshua E. (Submitted by Thomas Weisbach, [email protected] 31 Jul 2001. Please contact me if you have a connection to this person.) [Surnames: KNIGHT, CLARK.] The Anderson Morning Herald, Tuesday Sept 6, 1904, Page 3, Col. 3. Joshua E.

KNIGHT, Olive (Duncan). (Submitted by Thomas Weisbach, [email protected] 31 Jul 2001.) [Obituary of Olive Duncan Knight, a daughter of Lawson Duncan and, I believe, Caroline Church. Please contact me if you have any further information.] Anderson Herald, Jan. 18, 1908, Page 8, Col. 3: Mrs. J. W. Knight Passed Away Yesterday. Wife of Editor of Bulletin and Most Lovable Woman - Funeral Tomorrow. After an illness of about one month culminating in brain fever and spinal meningitis, Mrs. Olive Knight, wife of Editor James W. Knight of the Anderson Daily Bulletin, suddenly collapsed and expired at St. John's hospital early yesterday morning. The body was removed to the home of the late Mrs. Knight, 123 West Eleventh street where the funeral will take place at 3:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The obsequies will be conducted by the Rev. C. C. Cissell of the First Methodist Episcopal church, and burial will be at Maplewood cemetery. Although Mrs. Knight's condition had been serious for several days her death was wholly unexpected. She was thought to be improving Thursday and when her husband called in the evening to inquire as to her condition it was though that she was doing so well he should go to his home for rest. Between 2 and 3 o'clock yesterday morning a nurse at the bed side discovered that Mrs. Knight has lapsed into unconsciousness and was sinking. Her physician was summoned and her husband quickly notified. Mr. Knight hastened from his home to the hospital, but his wife was dead when he reached the hospital. Mrs. Knight was 35 years old and was the daughter of Lawson Duncan of this city. She was born at Belmont, Ky., but with her parents moved to this city from Greencastle nearly twenty years ago and her marriage to Mr. Knight took place in 1898. Mrs. Knight was a graduate of the high school and although it was not generally known in this city Mrs. Knight was a splendid writer and some literary work here and elsewhere attracted considerable attention. Her modesty prevented the identity of the writer from being well known as she might have been in the literary world. Mrs. Knight was also deeply interested in religious work. Above all things however she found most interest in the affairs of her splendid home and with her husband thoroughly enjoyed it. Mrs. Knight's health failed about one year ago but she apparently fully recovered and was enjoying the recent holiday season when she again fell ill and soon afterward was taken to St. John's hospital and given every attention possible. The news of her death was a great shock to her scores[?] of friends those of her husband. Mrs. Knight was well known to the newspaper fraternity and among the attaches of local newspapers no item nor incident has been chronicled with more regret and unwillingness than the sad fact that lovable "Ollie" Knight, wife of good natured and big hearted "Jim" Knight has passed away.
