They moved to Omaha, Nebraska, where they became charter members of the Zion Lutheran Church, Rev. J. Victor Carlson, pastor. Their union was blessed with six children. Twin sons and two daughters died in early childhood at Omaha. In February, 1915, they moved to Colton, Oregon, and were members of the Carlsborg Lutheran Church there. After five years, they moved to Stanton, Iowa, where Mr. Johnson passed away on January 27, 1922, and was burin in Dayton cemetery here January 31st of the month. Shortly after this, Mrs. Johnson resided for awhile in Red Oak and Omaha, and in August, 1926, moved with her daughter to Chicago. Her son followed in 1928. On November 16, 1927, Mrs. Johnson was married to Harry Schultz in Chicago. Mrs. Schultz is survived by her husband, Harry Schultz, and her son and daughter, Irving and Bernice Johnson, all of Chicago; also by her three brothers, Dr. Alvin Lofgren of Chicago, George Lofgren of Dayton, and David Lofgren of Portland, Oregon, and by her sister, Miss Delia Lofgren of Grass Valley, California.

Her remains were brought to Dayton, and funeral services were held last Sunday afternoon from the Lutheran Church in Dayton, the pastor, Rev. Waldo Ekeberg delivering the sermon. "Where He Leads Me, I Will Follow," "When the Roll is Called Up Yonder," and "Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling," were sung by Mrs. C.V. Anderson and Mrs. Harold Johnson. Pall bearers were Wesley Peterson, Edward Mollenhoff, Carl Will, J.A. Cling, R.A. Liljegren and Harry Sandholm. Interment was made in Dayton cemetery.

Wife and Mother
Hilma Otelia Schultz - nee Lofgren
How wonderful God blesses here on earth, that Mrs. Schultz took care of her mother for about a year for the same ailment, and now God has blessed her with a daughter as a trained nurse to take care of her. Those are the wonderful blessings of God. Her pastor often stated that he received more strength and comfort from visiting the sick bed of Mrs. Schultz than for the purpose of him giving this strength and comfort for her; that such wonderful faith she had in her Savior, that even in the severest hours of pain, she always looked forward to her Savior who would never forget her in those severe hours.
And the picture that was drawn in words to comfort her son and daughter: Would you sooner have your mother in Glory, or have your mother come back in pain and sin? And this strengthened so, that the children were strengthened through all the trials of laying their mother to her rest. What an example Mrs. Schultz also has for her children, knowing that if they continue in the same faith in their Lord and Savior, that she knows that the parting is only for a short time, that she will meet them again, where there is no sorrow, no tears, and no pain.
