‘Amanda Johnson,
Beaumont, Dies
Myrtle Martin's Mother
Was A Friend Of Youth
The funeral of Amanda J. John-
son, 84, mother of Myrtle Martin,
Monroe township tax collector, was
held Wednesday afternoon from the
late home in Beaumont where she
died early Sunday morning after a
lingering illness.
; Mrs. Johnson was one of the old-
| est and most highly respected resi-
| dents of Wyoming County. Born in
a log cabin near Harvey’s Lake in |
Dallas Township, July 25, 1857, she
was the daughter of Peter H. and
Emiline McCarty Johnson, early
settlers of that section. Her father
near Outlet station and made it into
the prosperous farm since sold to
Sen. A, J. Sordoni.
For more than 43 years Mrs.
Johnson had lived in Beaumont, She
was a thrifty, honest, hard working
woman possessing a jovial disposit-
ion and always willing to lend a
helping hand to the sick and afflic-
ted. She enjoyed nothing more than
the company of young people, and
she always found a moment to jest
or joke with them.
| She was a staunch Democrat and
admirer of President Roosevelt, and
carried her good nature with her
even in politics. She light-heartedly
maintained that she would not ride
to the polls to vote in the automo-
bile of her Republican daughter and
had the Democratic committeeman
of her township, Elmer Boyce, take
her to the voting place so that she
wouldn’t miss casting a vote for the
President.
Of six children, Mrs. Johnson
was the oldest. Her last brother, the
late Charles Johnson died at the age
of 76 in December 1940. She had
been in excellent physical and men-
tal health prior to her final illness
when she suffered a stroke last
April, Even during the time she
was bedridden she maintained all
her faculties and continued her
jesting when young friends came to
call upon her,
Beside her daughter she leaves a
sister, Mrs. Mary Downing of
Wilkes-Barre and several nieces and
nephews.
Funeral services were in charge
of Rev. Albert Reining, pastor of
Dallas Free Methodist Church, who
called upon Mrs. Johnson frequently
and of whom she was very fond.
Herman Kern, an old friend, was
soloist and pallbearers were: Walter
Derhammer. George Traver, George
Zacharias, Elmer Boyce, Perry Pat-
ton and Herbert Husband. Inter-
ment was in Warden Cemetery, Dal-
las. Arrangements were by Paul

week, however, I had not realized
how deeply I had dipped my pen in
the past. In fact, I was so aston-
ished that I got out all the back
copies of The Post and looked them
over, and sure enough you were
right. I must be slipping. It is sup-
posed to be a sure sign of advanc-
ing age when you go back to the
days of your childhood.
I don’t want to hear any smart
cracks about bustles and hoop-
skirts, however. One of my children
once upon a time wanted to know
if I had been personally acquainted
with George Washington. Upon
receiving an indignant denial, she
then inquired about the Civil War,
and was quite put out when I could
give her no first-hand information.
When she narrowed it down to the
Spanish-American War, however, 1
could be more helpful. I remem-
bered my mother and father making
a flag with forty-five stars in it.
That ought to date me very nice-
1 ly, Mr. Javie Aiche.
And another thing, Did I gather
from your last paragraph that the
signature A. Hick would have been
more appropriate to the subject-
matter than Mrs. T. M. B.? I'll let
you into a little secret. If the editor
of this community project does not
give me back my By-Line, the col-
umn will cease abruptly as of next
week. He can use A. Hick, or my
maiden name which is more euphon-
ious than my married one, or he
can invent a name, but credit I
must have.
This is an ultimatum!

requires sacrifices and
sweat on the part of
every man, woman and
child in America. The
impact is just beginning
to be felt. I have been
asked by many of my
customers how it will
affect the delivery of
farm machinery. The
answer is that you will
have no trouble getting
what you need—IF ,
you will anticipate your
requirements and order
AT LEAST a month in
advance of expected de-
livery. We want to give
you the BEST POS-
SIBLE SERVICE and to
that end we urge you
not to wait until pres-
ent equipment breaks
down. Order now for
