Mrs. Guennell Johnson, an old and highly respected resident of this city, passed away at her home in the South ward at 10:00 last Friday morning, of old age and general debility, aged 81 years.

Her death was a great shock to her family as she had been as well as usual until the day preceding her demise, and even that day did not appear to be in serious condition. The morning of her death, she ate a good breakfast and about twenty minutes before she died asked for a drink. Her taking away came very peacefully and without a struggle.

The funeral was held at 2:30 Monday afternoon from the home, her sons acting as pallbearers and Rev. R.J. McLandress officiating, with internment in evergreen cemetery.
