GONE TO ERI TOWARD -Thursday
of laHst ween Sarah Davidson, relief of
the late Wm. 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. The
daughters are Mrs. Geo. Mathers and
Mrs. James Peacock, also of Morris
township. The funeral took place to
