For a half century he toiled as a pioneer in the development of Pawnee county, under-going the hardships and privation incident to pioneer life with courage and hope, believing that out of his toil and the burden would come reward, and he lived to see many of his hopes realized. For several years he has been largely interested in farming near Bird City, Kansas, and it was while there that he received the injury which terminated in his death. While not in good health he went out a few weeks ago to look after his farm interests, and fell and broke one of his legs and sustained other injuries which aggravated his stomach trouble. His sons, Edwin and M. B. brought him home. He was taken to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Charles Linn, where he was given every care possible, but he passed away as above stated. Funeral services were held at the Christian church on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by the pastor, A. A. Beldon, old time neighbors and friends acting as pallbearers. To the surviving children goes out the sympathy of all who knew him. George Byron Johnson was born August 3, 1847, in Bronson, Branch county, Michigan. He passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Charles Linn October 11, 1919, aged 72 years, 2 months and 8 days.

OBITUARY- Mary Teressa Strate was born September 20, 1850, at Cambridge, Henry county, Illinois, and died March 9, 1905, at her home south of Table Rock, aged 54 years, 5 months and 15 days. From Cambridge her parents moved to Fremont, Indiana where both parents died when she was six years old. She was then adopted by Michael Blass of Bronson, Michigan. On April 22, 1866 she was united in marriage to G. B. Johnson. In 1870 they moved to Nebraska, near Table Rock.

Johnson, Mrs. Eva Linn, Mrs. Myrta Pattison and Mrs. Vena Burow, all living in or near this city. Natie and Eddie, together with their father, were at home at the time of their mother's death. She united and was baptized into the Christian church in 1896, and was also a member of the W.C.T.U. of this city at the time of her death and was anxious to see every good cause advanced. Her death was very sudden and unexpected. While she has not been in good health for several years, and was under the doctor's care the last few months, not even those dearest to her were prepared for the sudden taking away of the wife and mother. While she has gained a home in heaven those who are left behind mourn the loss of a faithful wife and loving mother. The funeral services were held in the Christian church at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, conducted by Elder T. A. Lundenmyer, pastor of the Christian church of Pawnee City, and a vast concourse of friends being present to pay the last tribute of respect to the memory of the deceased. |

TABLE ROCK ARGUS, Aug. 8, 1913. The little four year old son of Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Johnson's is still in a very critical condition. Last week Drs. Gandy and Novak of Humboldt were called in consultation with Dr. Cherry and pronounced the case Tubercular Meningitis. TABLE ROCK ARGUS, Aug. 15, 1913. OBITUARY- Sidney Raymond, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Johnson, was born March 1, 1909, died August 5, 1913, aged 4 years, 5 months and 4 days. That death loves a shining mark, received a new verification in the death of this beautiful little boy.

The funeral service was conducted at the Johnson home by Rev. Wimberly, Rev. Young assisting, on Wednesday, August 5, at 4 P.M.

Flossie Alwilda Johnson was born near Table Rock, August 1, 1907 and died at the hospital in Pawnee City, August 29, 1918, a brief life of eleven years and 28 days, yet one filled with joy for herself and good cheer for her family and friends.

IN ADDITION, THE SEPTEMBER 5, 1918 PAWNEE REPUBLICAN REPORTED: "Bessie Johnson of Table Rock was taken to the hospital and operated on for appendicitis. She died Thursday," which would have been August 29, 1918. Did Flossie go by Bessie? Did the Republican simply get the name wrong? It does appear that this news report is about Flossie. |

DAUGHTER OF G. B. & MARY STRAIGHT JOHNSON
TABLE ROCK ARGUS, Feb. 22, 1962.
OBSERVES 88TH BIRTHDAY AT HER HOME FEB. 19.
Susan E. Linn, better known as "Eva", quietly celebrated her 88th birthday at her home in Table Rock, Monday, February 19.
She was born in 1874, the third eldest of a family of nine children, born to Mr. and Mrs. George Byron Johnson, on a farm just over the line in Johnson County, in a sod and log house.
A short time later the Johnson family moved south about a mile to the farm purchased by Mr. Johnson and later known as the A. J. Kovanda farm, and this farm is where she grew to womanhood.
Since her marriage in 1893 to J. Charles Linn, she has made Table Rock her home, except for a year and a half spent in California, where the Linn family moved in 1908. Returning to Table Rock in 1910 they settled again in Table Rock and her home has been here since.
Although never enjoying real good health, Mrs. Linn has lived an active life.
In 1902 she and her husband set up the first permanent photo gallery in Table Rock, located on the corner north of the present Mertes Produce. Mrs. Linn took the pictures and finished the photos while her husband did his work of interior decorating and house painting in town and the surrounding area.
Later they sold the gallery to John F. Wilson and Mr. Linn continued doing the work for Mr. Wilson for several years. Many homes in Table Rock have pictures taken by Mrs. Linn among their older photos.
Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Linn, Edwin Charles who passed away in California; Marvin Elmer, who with his family live in Birmingham, Alabama; and Mrs. Ines Madden, who lives with her mother since 1959. She has three grandchildren, Markee Eugene, John Charles and Debbie Janelle Linn of Birmingham.
Mrs. Linn has taken care of a garden, except for last year, and is looking forward to working in the garden this spring and summer.
Her activities lately have been impaired by a fracture of her arm in 1951 and a fracture of her hip in 1953, which were also her only hospital confinements.
Of her family of nine children, six brothers and three sisters, she and her sister, Mrs. Myrta Pattison, survive.
OBSERVES 88TH BIRTHDAY AT HER HOME FEB. 19.
Susan E. Linn, better known as "Eva", quietly celebrated her 88th birthday at her home in Table Rock, Monday, February 19.
She was born in 1874, the third eldest of a family of nine children, born to Mr. and Mrs. George Byron Johnson, on a farm just over the line in Johnson County, in a sod and log house.
A short time later the Johnson family moved south about a mile to the farm purchased by Mr. Johnson and later known as the A. J. Kovanda farm, and this farm is where she grew to womanhood.
Since her marriage in 1893 to J. Charles Linn, she has made Table Rock her home, except for a year and a half spent in California, where the Linn family moved in 1908. Returning to Table Rock in 1910 they settled again in Table Rock and her home has been here since.
Although never enjoying real good health, Mrs. Linn has lived an active life.
In 1902 she and her husband set up the first permanent photo gallery in Table Rock, located on the corner north of the present Mertes Produce. Mrs. Linn took the pictures and finished the photos while her husband did his work of interior decorating and house painting in town and the surrounding area.
Later they sold the gallery to John F. Wilson and Mr. Linn continued doing the work for Mr. Wilson for several years. Many homes in Table Rock have pictures taken by Mrs. Linn among their older photos.
Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Linn, Edwin Charles who passed away in California; Marvin Elmer, who with his family live in Birmingham, Alabama; and Mrs. Ines Madden, who lives with her mother since 1959. She has three grandchildren, Markee Eugene, John Charles and Debbie Janelle Linn of Birmingham.
Mrs. Linn has taken care of a garden, except for last year, and is looking forward to working in the garden this spring and summer.
Her activities lately have been impaired by a fracture of her arm in 1951 and a fracture of her hip in 1953, which were also her only hospital confinements.
Of her family of nine children, six brothers and three sisters, she and her sister, Mrs. Myrta Pattison, survive.

Table Rock Argus, March 25, 1898.- John Pattison and wife have returned from literary. It will be remembered that a year ago the 19th of last February John and Miss Mertie Johnson left the home of Charles Linn to attend literary at the Allison school house and from that trip they have just returned with Miss Johnson transformed into Mrs. Pattison. Instead of going to literary that night they went to Lincoln where they were married, then they went to Upton, where they took up their abode on a ranch and lived there until they thought it time for literary to adjourn and then returned to Table Rock.
