Mother of Mrs. George W. Bale and Mrs. Mathilda Troyer – Funeral Today
Mrs. Chas. Johnson, one of Estherville's pioneer women, passed away at her home on east Howard street Monday [November 3, 1924] afternoon from heart trouble. Mrs. Johnson had lived in this community for nearly forty years and during that time had made herself dear to the hearts of all who knew her. She was born at Nustrup, Schleswig, Denmark, on June 12th, 1845. Her maiden name was Anna Bolsen. When she was twenty-six years of age she left her home and family in Denmark to come to this new country of which so much had been told. She was married to Charles Johnson shortly after her arrival in this country and they located at Keokuk, Iowa, until the spring of 1886, when they came to Estherville to reside. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were the parents of five children, three sons and two daughters. Mr. Johnson and the three sons have preceded Mrs. Johnson in death. Besides her daughters, one brother, Alvin, who is in Denmark, remains to mourn the loss of his sister. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson came to this community when it was in the process of being built up and they worked tirelessly to make a home for themselves and children. After her husband's death, Mrs. Johnson made her home with her daughters. Ever of a cheerful, happy disposition, she was contented and satisfied with her lot in life and during her illness never complained of her affliction. The living children are Mrs. George W. Bale and Mrs. Mathilda Troyer, both of this city. Funeral services will be held from the Bale home this (Wednesday) afternoon at two o'clock. Rev. Whittle, of the Grace Episcopal church will be in charge of the services. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the sorrowing relatives.
