Magnus Johnson’s mother, Mrs. Mons Johnson, died Sunday morning of old age, being 86 years, 9 months and 10 days old, and the funeral was held at the farm home of her son at 1 o’clock yesterday, Rev. Lang of the Danish church officiating. Her husband died about 20 years ago, and she had made her home with Magnus, her only son, for the past 15 years. They came to this country from Landrene, Sweden in 1865, and were therefore among the earliest settlers.
