Mrs. Nancy Johnson is dead at age 82.
Nancy E. Finley was born in East Tennessee, Blount county, March 28, 1835, and died at Wapello, Iowa, Jan. 2, 1918, aged 82 years, 9 months and 4 days.
She had been a resident of Iowa for 75 years. As a girl of 7 years she removed with her parents from Tennessee in 1842, and came to Iowa, locating near West Point. Later, removing to Pilot Grove, in the same county, where in 1855 the deceased united with Sugar Creek church, under the ministry of the Rev. David McArthur.
She was united in marriage to Mr. Hugh McCullough, in this county, August 17, 1873. This union was of short duration, as Mr. McCullough was soon claimed by death, and on March 24th, 1875, the widow was united in marriage with Mr. Solomon D. Johnson, near Grandview, Iowa. This same year they removed to Morning Sun, and this place continued to be their permanent home until the death of Mr. Johnson, which occureed May 6th, 1902.
The Johnsons united with the First Presbyterian church under the pastorate of Rev. D. T. Campbell, in October, 1875. Mr. Johnson was sexton of this church for 25 years, and he was also a veteran of the Civil War.
Mrs. Johnson in her prime was a woman much in demand in this community in the hour of sickness and death, and also she welcomed into this world at the hour of birth many of those in the community who are now mature men and women. Also her ever busy hands turned out many pieces of needle work and knitting, which today bear eloquent testimony to the spirit and industry of the deceased.
She was a charter member of the Women's Missionary Society of ther First Presbyterian church. But two other charter members remain, namely, Mrs. Belle Walker of that community, and Mrs. Edwards of Burlington.
Funeral services were held Saturday morning, January 5th, 1918, at 10:30 o'clock, from the First Presbyterian church, Morning Sun, conducted by Rev. A. E. Cameron, assisted by the First Presbyterian quartette. Interment was in Elwood cemetery beside her second husband, Solomon D. Johnson.
