HATTIE JOHNSON DEAD
Hattie Columbia Johnson was born in St. James, April 15th 1898, and died at the home of her father in the north part of the city yesterday afternoon July 28th, at the age of 22 years, 3 months and 13 days.
In the spring of 1914 she was operated upon at the Mayo hospital, but this operation, however, failed to relieve her and since that time she has been confined to her home. She leaves four brothers and three sisters to mourn her loss, namely: Mrs. R. B. Noble, Julia and Walter of Great Falls, Mont., Frank of Duluth and Mabel, Harry and Ray of this city. Preparations for the funeral, which will be held at her home in this city, had not been completed at the time we go to press. It is expected that her brothers and sisters will be here.
Miss Johnson was a young lady of many charms and was held in very high esteem by all that knew her. She was a member of the 1911 class of the local high school and later attended the Normal at Mankato, after which she taught until her health made it impossible for her to do so longer.
The Journal-Gazette joins with the many friends of the family in extending words of sympathy to the bereaved family.
