ANNIE R. JOHNSON
[Welland Tribune, 12 March 1897]
Mrs. Johnson, wife of Jerry Johnson, barber, died on Monday morning in her 30th year. The sad occurrence falls heavily upon Mr. Johnson and his family of three small children-one a tender babe of five weeks-and the sympathy and condolence of every member of this community is lovingly tendered to him in his great sorrow-a sorrow that none can realize except those whose experience has been like his. Some five weeks ago a child was born to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, and while convalescing Mrs. Johnson was attacked with la grippe, a high fever setting in that human skill seemed unable to check. After a brave and patient struggle the sufferer finally passed to rest on Monday morning. The remains were buried on Wednesday at 1 p.m. The service was conducted by Rev. Mr. Morrow in the central Methodist church, a large concourse of citizens attending as a mark of respect and sympathy to the departed one. The body was interred at Overholt’s cemetery. Deceased was a daughter of the late John Crow of Thorold, a sister of Mrs. Anna Hudson of Niagara Falls, N.Y., and Miss Lizzie Crow of Welland; and a niece of Mrs. Rebecca Fair of Buffalo and James Foster of Welland.
