ARTHUR C. JOHNSON

(contributed)

Arthur Clifford Johnson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur B. Johnson of Herman, Nebraska, was born at Cornlea, Nebraska June 14, 1917, and passed away at the Lord Lister Hospital June 25th, 1931 at the age of 14 years and 11 days.

At the time of his departure, he had lived with his parents near Herman, during which time he had completed his eighth grade studies and was looking forward to entering high school in the fall.

He received the ordinance of Christian Baptism at the hands of the Presbyterian church May 14, 1920.

Besides his grief stricken parents, he leaves to mourn his passing one sister, Anna, and his brother, Leroy, his grandparents and other relatives, and many friends whose hearts go out in tenderest sympathy to these in their sad hour of bereavement.

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon from the M.E. church, Rev. E.J. Hancock, assisted by Rev. Byron Pardun, officiating.

Interment was made in the Blair cemetery.

“If death be recompense for sorrows deep; if death be longing for the ones who weep; if death be endless, sweet, eternal sleep; If death be victory over sin’s vast sweep—Speak, ye who know.

In life and death all travel towards God’s Throne, His hands reach out to draw us gently home; He, at our journey’s end, gives peaceful rest; His heart the only homeland of the blest—This much we know.

--Rosemary Rogers”
