Sautes Johnston. of the lst line of Morris, passed away to Tier reward like a sherd of ripened grain to the garner. Her death was not, an onlooked for event as she had been in ``poor health for some time. She was born at Amherst Island, near Riege- toti, `ill the year 1832 crud was conse- quently in her 80th year at the time of her. translation. When 14;yent s of age she accompanied her parents to Godeeieh township, Huron Co., where she was married in 1854 to her deceits - sed husband and they settled in MI on Lot 23, Onn. 1. where she resided' up to her demise. Mr., and Mrs. Johnston had the good fortune to. celebrate their Golden Wedding in 1904 but two years later the tie was broken by a call tuber husband. Mrs. Johnston was the last survivor' of a family of 6 chiidren. The Johnston home was ever open to the preacher of the Gospel from the early days up to the last. Service was held in their house until such times as the settlers saw their way clear to erect a church and to this day it is known as the Johnston church and stands on the' corner of :the old homestead. ' Mrs. Johnston, like her husband, always took an active part in church work and filled hoe place in a quiet affable way. Many a kind word was spoken and helpful action performed known only to the unseen eye and ;the re- cording angel "Verily they shall have their reward." Hospitality was a pronounced characteristic and many a preacher had his heart as well as his body warmed by the wholesoul character of the welcome. A family of five sons and two . daughters, who b have gron up to fill honored places in the community, stu•vivo : Robert, of Saskatchewan; Hugh, of Manitoba ; Richard, Edward, William J. and Silas, of the lst line Morris.
