Obituary.
MOORE, Okla. Died at her home near this city, with dropsy of the heart – on September 27th. Mrs. Jennie Johnston, beloved wife of Albert Johnston. Mrs. Johnston was born at Bridgport, Vermont, May 20th, 1862, her childhood, and youth were spent in that quiet town of beautiful surroundings in comfort and comparative luxury, delicate in health, of strong mind, and a great love for the beautiful, she was reared in an atmosphere of cultured and refined Christian influences.
She attended the schools of her native city, afterward finishing her education at the noted Female Seminary at Middleton, Vermont.
For several years she taught and studied, becoming a thorough scholar, and an admirable woman. While yet a teacher, she met and loved Albert Johnston; and in December 1888 they were married, making their home in New York: At the opening of Oklahoma, Mr. Johnston secured a very valuable claim near this city where she joined him in June 1889, since which time this has been her home. She carried all her ambition, sharing all the privations and hardships necessary in the settlement of a new country without a murmur, and as the years passed by, they were noted only for the peace and contentment they brought her.
Well balanced, self-reliant, affectionate and happy; there was nothing wanting to complete her character. The domestic harmony of her life can be partly appreciated from remarks made by her husband after her death; “She was a good woman; a perfect woman,” “If she had one fault I do not know it.” “I was always greeted with a happy smile.” She died loved and mourned by all who knew her.
