Death of Trustee Johnson
William Johnson, whose death was announced in the REGISTER of
Wednesday, was one of the first settlers in St. Joseph county, having
resided in the county over forty years. He lived near Warren Centre
when he died, owning a large amount of land thereabouts. His death
was not unexpected, for he has been but just alive for over a year,
and once or twice he has read his obituary in the county papers. He
has been Trustee of Warren township for nearly twenty years, and
always preformed his duties well and with scrupulous care. He is
well known to all the people for miles around Warren, as a good,
kind-hearted old gentleman, who never missed an opportunity of doing
a good deed; and his death will be mourned by many poor people about
his home, whom he has often aided in their need. If there is rest
beyond the river, he will be one of the favored ones, if doing good
deeds secures an entrance into the many mansions above. He was about
seventy years of age when he died.
South Bend Tribune, March 22, 1878, Page 2:
Death of William Johnson, Trustee of Warren Township
William Johnson, Trustee of Warren township, died on Tuesday
afternoon, at 4 o'clock, of paralysis, a disease with which he had
been afflicted more or less, for over two years. His death was
reported on March 29th of last year, and an obituary of him appeared
in the TRIBUNE of that date; yet although very low then he recovered
enough to be able to attend to his private and official affairs. For
several months, however, Mr. Thurston Miller has performed his duties
as township trustee.
Mr. Johnson came to this county nearly 40 years ago and has always
been a resident of Warren. He always took a prominent part in local
politics, first as a whig, then as a republican. He served in 1852
as township clerk, and in 1855 was elected township trustee, a
position to which he has been elected every term since and which he
held at the time of his death. Mr. Johnson married a daughter of the
late Christian Smith, and leaves a widow and several children to
mourn his loss. As a husband, neighbor and official, Mr. Johnson
ever conducted himself with the strictest honor and integrity, and
was held in great esteem by all. At his death he was in his 67th
year. His funeral took place on Tuesday forenoon, at Warren Centre
school house; services by Elder Jas. Miller. There was a large
attendance, notwithstanding the unfavorable weather.
