The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, September 17, 1908
CLARENCE AMO JOHNSON was born in Chariton, July 1, 1888, and died at the
home of his brother, HILMER JOHNSON, at Wausau, Neb., Sept. 13, 1908, age 20 years, 2 months and 12 days, after an illness of over a year with tuberculosis.
He went to Nebraska about a year ago hoping to regain his health, and has
during that time resided with his brother. He visited his parents, P.E.
JOHNSON and wife, a few weeks last spring.
Although his death was not unexpected it brings the same bitter pangs, and
the young life which was filled with happy anticipations for the future is
cut down in the prime of youth. He was a member of the Swedish Lutheran
Church of Chariton, was a choir member, an active worker in the Lutheran
League, and was an exemplary young man. The remains were brought to this
city Tuesday night and taken to the home of his parents.
Largely attended funeral services were held at the Swedish Lutheran Church,
Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by the Pastor, Rev. Elmquist,
and the remains interred in the Chariton Cemetery. Besides his parents he
leaves three brothers; HILMER, of Wausau, Neb.; GUSTAS and ESKIL of Chariton and numerous other relatives and friends to mourn his death, and who have the sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement.
