Another Sudden Death Edson Leroy Johnson, Young Man of 22, Drops Dead
Edson Leroy Johnson died Saturday at 12:30 p. m. at the home of his parents in Marshall township, of heart failure.
Death came without the slightest warning. The deceased had not been in good health for some time, but was not confined to his bed, and being of such an apparently robust constitution, and was so strong looking physically, that his friends had no idea that his life, as it were, hung by a thread, that was likely at any time to break. The physician who had treated him knew more of his condition but even he did not anticipate the tragic end so soon, though when it came, he was less surprised than those not so well informed.
The deceased was out and around the house Saturday forenoon. He came in a little after noon and began to take off his coat, when without any warning the end came. As he fell his head struck a glass, inflicting a wound, but the young man knew it not, for before he reached the floor life was extinct.
Edson Leroy Johnson was the son of Mr. and Mrs. G. [eorge] R. Johnson who for many years have lived on their farm 2 miles south west of Conway. Here Edson spent his boyhood boys. After he had gained manhood's estate he went away and for a good while was employed as nurse at both the Clarinda and Mt. Pleasant hospitals. It was only a short time ago that he returned home. At the time of his death he was 22 years, 3 months and three days of age.
The funeral occurred at the home yesterday at 1 p. m. conducted by Rev. Dunlavy of Gravity. Interment was made at Lexington cemetery.

William D. Johnson Dead
William
D. Johnson was born in Taylor
County, Iowa, December 1, 1871, and died at his late home in Mason Township on
April 19, 1908, aged 36 years, 4 months and 18 days. He was united in marriage
to Miss Anna [Harriet] Bix, February
22, 1894. To this union two children were born, Bertha and Glen, who with the wife, father, mother and three brothers are left to
mourn his loss. The deceased was converted and united with the Star
Presbyterian Church in 1906, living to the time of his death a consistent
faithful Christian life.
His
last illness, which terminated fatally, was of several months duration, in fact
since December 11th, while he was in failing health for about one year. All
that loving hands could do, coupled with the best medical skill, failed to
relieve and he passed to that rest which knows no waking. During the long siege
of sickness no word of complaint fell from his lips but ever manifested a
spirit of resignation to the will of Him who doeth all things well.
He
was a member of the I. O. O. F. lodge of Conway, and the Modern Woodmen in
Bedford, the latter attending in a body at the funeral and used their beautiful
ceremony at the home and at the grave. The Odd Fellows from Conway were present
at the grave in great numbers. The people from the old neighborhood gathered at
the cemetery in great numbers in token of their respect for an old neighbor and
friend. The services at the home were conducted by Geo. A. Hendrickson, pastor
of the Christian church, Bedford. The music was appropriate and beautifully
rendered by a company of singers in the community where his home has been for
seven years. A large procession willingly followed on the long journey to the
Lexington cemetery, where all that was mortal of William D. Johnson was laid to rest until the morning of the great
Resurrection. May the God of all comfort and sustain the bereaved in the sad
hour of their sorrow.

Death of W. D. Johnson
W.
[illiam] D. Johnson died at his
home, 9 miles west of Bedford Sunday morning. He had been ill for several
months, and for some time his friends have seen that the inevitable end was not
far away, but that his death was not unexpected does not make the anguish and
grief of his loved ones any less poignant, and the heartbroken wife and two
fatherless children have the most sincere sympathy of all.
Mr.
Johnson was born and reared in
Taylor County, and numbered his friends by the hundred. All knew him to be a
kind and accommodating neighbor, a loving husband, a considerate father, and a
man whom all respected and honored.
For
many years Mr. Johnson had
been a member of the Presbyterian Church at Morning Star; he was a member of
the Odd Fellow lodge at Conway and of the Woodmen lodge at Bedford. The last
said order had charge of the obsequies.
The
funeral was held at the home Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock, conducted by Rev.
G. A. Hendrickson. Interment was made at Lexington cemetery, and the large
number of sympathizing friends who made the long journey from the home to the
cemetery testifies to the esteem in which the deceased was held.

friends and relatives.
He

known as a man that possessed a great sense of humor and quick wit. He loved
being on the farm. Steve and Donna together had the Kernen Grain Elevator for over
fifteen years. Steve and his
folks were the originators of the Taylor County Ag Expo, which began at the

Steve's
favorite time of the year was 4th of July on which he entertained with games,
volleyball and fireworks. The family remembers that whenever Steve wasn't showing horses he enjoyed golfing and
relaxing on the patio on the weekends. As Steve would relax on the patio he could look out over
the family farm on which he had been born and lived on his entire life. Steve enjoyed his family and friends. He enjoyed little
activities. He enjoyed what really mattered in life - - he loved people and
visiting with them.
Steve always gave of himself to help others, but the
true joy in life was spent being with his family. He loved all of his family
and all of his family loved him.
