Thomas Johnson received word last Saturday that his brother, Andrew, was severely hurt while working on a pile driver in Salt Lake City, and the chances were against his recovery. A telegram from John on Sunday announced Andrew’s death, and says he will bring the body to Blair for burial. The body will arrive in Omaha Thursday morning and will be brought here at 2:48. The funeral will be held at the home of Mrs. Thos. Crouch at 2:00 o’clock Friday afternoon under the Masonic auspices. John C. Johnson, it will be remembered, managed the Blair Clothing Co. for a good many years and was always an enthusiastic Mason, being Master at the time he left. One other brother, Martin, lives on a farm northwest of town, also a sister, Giena. The father and one brother live in Christiania, Norway.
