THE EVENING HERALD, MAY 19, 1914
MERRILL, May 19, Twenty minutes after reaching home from church Sunday night, in
apparently the best of health, Tom Johnson, an old resident of this
neighborhood, dropped dead with heart trouble.
As he came in from church he was informed that an irrigation ditch needed
attention, and went to see the trouble. When he reached the house he complained
of feeling weak and dizzy, and came near fainting. His daughter phoned for Dr.
Patterson who was just getting ready for bed.
The doctor did not wait to put on his coat, but rushed right over in his car,
reaching the stricken man within five minutes after the call. At that he was too
late, for death had occurred a minute or two before his arrival.
The deceased had been a resident of this community for several years, coming
here from Kansas about seven years ago. He leaves many relatives and friends to
mourn his untimely departure.
The funeral services were held this morning at the Methodist church at 11
o'clock this morning, Rev. Achison preaching the funeral sermon.
