Mountain Messenger � 12/11/1886, Pg. 3 

Sudden Death � Mrs. Johanna Johnson, wife of P. C. Johnson, and mother 
of Mrs. N. B. Fish, died very suddenly at her home at Cox�s Bar, two 
miles and a half below Downieville on Monday morning. She had been 
troubled with a sore throat for several days, but he illness was not 
thought of sufficient severity to warrant calling a physician. On the 
morning of her death about 4 o�clock, she began to grow so much worse 
that Dr. Jump was sent for, but when he arrived she was passed all help 
and died in a short time, from inflammation and swelling of the wind pipe. 
The funeral took place on Wednesday from the M. E. Church, of this place, 
and was largely attended notwithstanding the violent storm. Mrs. Johnson 
was a native of Faroe Islands, and was a lady very much beloved by all who 
knew her. Her age was 49 years.
