Obituary
Amanda Elizabeth Johnson was born May 1, 1838, departed this late Nov. 1, 1918, at her house 8 miles southwest of Mansfield, death following an attack of Spanish influenza. She professed religion when she was a girl and united with the Baptist church and lived a true Christian life. She leaves eight children: Mesdames George and Reed Baker and Mollie, Fred and John Johnson of Mansfield, Mrs Jason Bentley of Cedar Gap, Mrs Wm. Dodson of Neodesha, Kans. and Wm. C. Johnson of Kemmerer, Wyo., besides a host of other relatives and friends to mourn their loss. Interment in Prairie Hollow cemetery. Underneath the sod our mother’s sleeping, she’s free from earthly trials and its care, we will hear our mothers foot steps no longer, as we heard in days gone; they traveled in this weary world of woe, but now Sli*n; He in yonder church yard. Her visit here on earth is *’er, her heavenly flight is through, with pal*id face but happy heart, she the strange journey pursued. On earth she ruled a family fair; most gracious and beloved was she, with many children at her knee, because God loved the children so, he gave them this dear mother; now back to the chilly earth has gone to sleep with many another. Dimly lighted, on the hill side still stands the ***** home, it is all sad and lonely, cheer up, dear children, and loved ones fair although your hearts are broken, so many children sad; they wonder where dear Grandma’s gone, and why she’s gone so long. Weep not, dear ones, here body rests, on the hillside o’er the way; her soul to Jesus now had fled to the realms of endless day. Grieve not, dear ones, for her who is gone, whose sufferings on earth were great and prepare to meet her on that above before it is too late. Lift up your heart, the golden light, soon will fall up your shadowed path; transfiguring your way. Walk in the light, Oh! loving one, which shi**oth more and more; Oh! help us, Lord, that we may life a life so full of love, that we may gladly leave this home to meet loved ones above. Her husband and two infant children preceded her to the world beyond. So in that Church year side by side they will wait the dawning of the resurrection morning. –C.
CARD OF THANKS
We desire to thank the many friends and neighbors for the kindness shown during the sickness and death of our beloved mother. – The Children.
