Florence, March, 15.—Death has again entered our midst and chosen one of our most respected citizens, Robert T. Johnson. His sickness was of short duration, as he had been seen on our streets but a few days previous, and seemed as well as usual. Mr. J. was sixty-two years of age, and the greater portion of his life has been spent in Florence.
He was a shoemaker by trade, and served our people in that capacity for many years. He was a brave and tender man, in every storm of life oak and rock, and in sunshine he was the vine and flower. He was the friend of all heroic souls, a worshiper and defender of liberty, and when volunteers were called in the late war was one of the first to give his services for the protection of his country, joining company A., 10th New York heavy artillery, in which he served to the close of the war. He was the Commander of the Evan Jones Post of this place at the time of his death, and in him the boys in blue lose a trusted comrade.
The funeral will take place Thursday morning, at 10 o'clock, from his late residence, Rev. James Shoesmith officiating. He leaves a widow, one brother and two sisters, George Johnson, of Rome, Mrs. Mary Cornish and Mrs. C. A. Morgan, of Fulton, who all have the sympathy of the community, in the loss of a kind and devoted husband and loving brother.
