By profession Mr. Johnson was a Carpenter and there are but few buildings in Stephen that were not in part or in whole built by him andacres. among these is the Methodist church of which he was a member. Mr. Johnson's taking! away was very sudden.

In good health and strength, while reading just before noon of Wednesday he had a sudden stroke ot apoplexy which caused a hemorrhage of the brain. Everything that skill could do was done for him but to no avail and about 6 o'clock he passed to the home prepared for himAmerican with God's chosen ones.
