YOUNG MOTHER DIES
After two weeks of illness due to pneumonia following influenza, Mrs.
Elmer Davison, southeast of Ossian, fell asleep at her farm home a little before
seven o'clock Tuesday morning. The lady contracted the trouble after her little
sons Gaile and Elihu had had the disease, and although the little lads easily
recovered and the father of the family did not take the contagion, the wife and
mother was the one called to leave two little children motherless and a home
vacant. The patient had been very sick indeed, and on Tuesday of last week a
little son was born who immediately expired. Since last Sunday she had been in
an unconscious condition and was kept under the influence of medicine to subdue
the intense suffering.
A brief sketch of the life of the deceased will read as follows:
Maude Johnson was born near Wilshire, Ohio, Nov. 10th, 1889, and was the
daughter of Elihu Johnson, who still lives near that city. Her mother passed
away when she was but two years of age, and she spent a great deal of her life
near Tocsin in the home of her grandfather, Rev. Johnson, well know in this
community. She was married to Elmer Davison twelve years ago and is survived by
her husband and two sons, Gaile aged ten years, and Elihu five. One brother,
Rev. Albert Johnson, of Rockford, Ohio; the father and four sisters also
survive. The sisters are Mrs. Charles LeMarr, of Rockford, Ohio; Mrs. Marcellus
Davison, of near Pleasant Mills; Mrs. Otto Johnson, of Tocsin, and Mrs. Oliver
Buck, of this city.
The deceased was a devoted member of the United Brethren church and in
that faith when she died.
The funeral occurred Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock from the farm home, the
remains being viewed by the sorrowing relatives and friends through the window.
Interment at Tocsin.
