Mrs. Johnson, who was but 22 years of age, died last Wednesday from a heart attack. Rev. Warren of Wapello who married Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, and received Mrs. Johnson into the Methodist church, paid her a fine tribute upon her excellent character and uplifting work in the church and Sunday School.

Rev. Wapello further brought out the worth of the departed in the funeral sermon based on the 13th verse of the 14th chapter of Revelations -"blessed are the dead who die in the Lord".

Oh what a blessed glorious sleep

Then why should her dear ones weep
When she is so happy now

Yes we hope again to meet her
In the realms beyond the sky
In celestial song to join her
Praising him who reigns on high
