JOHNSON, Jimmy - (from Lowell) Uncle Jimmy Johnson, one of our oldest and best known citizens, passed away Saturday, June 19th at the home of his son, Maurice Johnson, who lives on the old home place. Funeral services were held at the Goad Springs schoolhouse Sunday afternoon by Uncle Wade Sikes of Rogers, an old comrade of the deceased. Interment was made in the Goad Springs graveyard. Uncle Jimmy was 89 years of age and was always held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. He numbered his friends by his acquaintances and the vacant chair in the home of his faithful children can never be filled. He leaves seven children to mourn his departure, his wife and several children having passed away several years ago.
