DIED.
A few days since Mrs. Frost, wife of the proprietor of the DEMOCRAT was suddenly called to the bed side of her dying father, James A. Johnson, of Marion county. He had been confined to his bed for several months, and suffered intensely during that time. For 25 years he was troubled with heart disease which terminated in dropsy, and that in death, on the 18th, inst. Mr. Johnson was an old and highly esteemed citizen of Marion, and at the time of his death was in the 74th year of his age. He was born in Bourbon county, Ky., in 1802, moved with his father to Missouri in 1828, settled in Marion county, and was married in 1831 to Miss Mary Anna E. Boulware, [niece of Rev. Theodrie Boulware, dec'd., who, for a number of years was a resident of Callaway county, and well known to many of the old settlers in this and adjoining counties.] Mr. Johnson has lived on the farm his father settled, ever since he has been in the state, and during that time saw his father, mother, a brother and five children pass to that bourne from whence no traveler returns. He became a member of the M. E. Church, before leaving Kentucky, was an exemplary christian, and devoted the greater portion of his life to the cause of christianity. His walk through life was such that all could follow—without spot or blemish, and for 42 long years he never missed holding family worship, night or morning, only when prevented by sickness. At intervals before his death he was unconscious of what was transpiring around him. The day before he died, however, he became rational, and called his wife and children to his bed side and conversed with them for some time, saying he wanted them to live a christian life, and that the greatest legacy he left them was his blessing, and concluded by admonishing them to protect and be kind to the partner he left behind. He then called his two servants, whom he had raised, and who remained with him after the war, to him and advised them to become christians, as he wanted to see them in heaven, and told them they had been good, kind and faithful servants; that there were none like them—they had waited on him so attentively. Shortly after bidding his family and friends adieu, he again became unconscious, and remained so until He who ruleth all things, called him home.
He leaves a widow and five children to mourn his loss, besides a large number of friends, far and near who will regret that "Uncle Jimmie" as he was called by many is numbered with the dead.
