“Blessed are the Dead Who Die in the Lord”
Notwithstanding the inclement weather a large concourse of sympathizing friends gathered at the late home of J. B. Johnson, Tuesday, the 9th, to pay the last tribute of respect to one who was highly respected by all, the community at large and beloved by his family and relatives. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Allen Kenworthy, of Danville, Ind., at Friends’ Church near Darlington. Interment at the same cemetery. A choir composed of the Stewart brothers and others rendered some choice and touching selections which were very appropriate. James Binford Johnson was born near Petersburg, Va., Nov. 1817. He with his parents came and settled in this county, near where he resides in the year 1832. He was married to Rebecca Snook (deceased), Oct. 20, 1841. Eight children were born to them. Out of that number six are now living, viz: H. S. and S. B. Johnson, Mrs. S. P. Vangundy, Mrs. C. W. Pritchard, Mrs. H. S. Binford, and Mrs. A. McDaniel. He was again married December 8, 1870, to Sarah J. Butler. Of that union, only Maud, a daughter, aged 12, survive him. The mother and three children preceded the father. Had the deceased lived until November next, he would have reached his 74th mile stone. The cause of his death was a severe attack of pneumonia, together with a hurt he had received in a runaway and from which he had never fully recovered. As a neighbor he was kind and obliging, as a church member active and influential, and as a father was always ready by word or action, spiritual or temporal, to administer to the wants of his children
