Two Johnson Brothers Bereft of Wives Within an Hour.
Inside of an hour Sunday morning the wives of two brothers, Dr. J. A. Johnson of Bottineau and Ole Johnson of Minot, brothers of C. A. Johnson of this city, died, at the age of thirty-five and thirty-eight respectively.
Mrs. Johnson of Bottineau died at 8:30 o’clock Sunday morning at her home from an attack of influenza which developed into pneumonia. Mrs. Johnson, who has always enjoyed excellent health, was ill only ten days. A few days after Mrs. Johnson became ill, Dr. Johnson fell a victim to the disease, which is said to be developing a serious case of pneumonia. Mrs. Johnson is survived by her husband, two daughters, Thelma, aged 13, and Gretchen, aged, 8, besides a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John Babler of New Rockford, and a sister, May Babler.
C. A. Johnson left Minot Monday morning for Bottineau to assist in the caring for his brother.
Mrs. Ole Johnson has been ill for several months and died of heart trouble. She is survived by a husband and two daughters, Luella, aged 7 years, and Clare, aged 9 months, and a mother and brother, who live at Black River Falls, Wisconsin. Mrs. Johnson died at the farm home five o’clock Sunday morning. The funeral was held at 2 o’clock Monday afternoon from the home, Rev. Lonne officiating. Interment was at Rosehill cemetery.
Both Mrs. Johnson of Bottineau and Mrs. Johnson of Minot are mourned by a host of friends. Mrs. J. A. Johnson was active in all social activities of Bottineau, where Dr. Johnson is a leader in school, city and society welfare activities. She took a trip by auto to the New Rockford home this summer and enjoyed the best of health. Mrs. Ole Johnson of Minot has spent a life of service for her children, whose life and character will remain a monument to her memory.
