For years he had been a patient sufferer and confined to a wheel chair, but for the past month or so his condition had been serious causing him to take to his bed. Mr. Johnson was born August 22, 1858, and was 58 years and 18 days old at the time of his death, Two children survive bis first marriage and six his second. His first wife was Miss Mollie Burke of Salisbury and his second Miss Annie Sandlin of Old Fort, the latter survived his death. He, with his family came here four years ago, taking up their residence in Highland, later mo/ing to their present home 712 Tenth Avenue. The funeral was held Saturday af ternoon from the First Presbyterian Church, conducted by Rev. J. G. Garth, pastor of the deceased, assisted by Rev. A. L. Stanford, pastor of the First Methodist Church, after which the bodv.was laid to rest in Oakwood Cemetery. Commenting on his death the Salisbury Post has the following, Mr. Johnson being a native of that city: "Mr. Johnson was a son of the late Alfred Johnson, who before his death owned practically all that part of Salisbury now known as Fulton Heights, The junior Johnson was known to hundreds of people in this city andcountry and to those he was just plain "Bob" Johnson. He was a quie% unassumed man, a splendid fellow, was a farmer on a small scale and manufactured thousands of gal lons of home made cider and this al ways found a ready sale here. He sold his property here some five or six years ago and took up his residence in Hickory, but frequently made visits to his old home. There are many who will learn with sorrow of his death." The following obituary was read at his funeral: "Robert Harah Johnson was born August 22, 1858 and died September 9, 1915, aged 57 years and 18 days. "He united with the Presbyterian church at the age of 15, and was mar ried to Mollie Burke in 1879 and to that union two children were born. One son and one daughter. Theodore Burke Johnson the eldest lived but one year and two months, and Marga ret Elizabeth Johnson still survives and lives in Salisbury, "First wife died January 16, 1891, "He was married to Miss Annie Sandlin of Old Fort, May 21, 1896, and to this union six children were born, The eldest being 16 and the younzest 4 years old." The bereaved wife and children have the profound sympathy of the en tire city in the loss of their beloved husband and father. Card of Thanks. We desire to thank our many friends and neighbors for their comforting words and kindly assistance during the illness and death of our husband and father, Robert H, Johnson, and to especially thai.k the physician and nurse who so tenderly ministered to him, even though their efforts were unavailing. May the Iord bless each and every one of you. Yours sincerely Mrs. P.. H, Johnson and Children. Prosperous Times In Waynesville Mr. R. L.
