The deceased was a daughter of Capt. Johnson, of Quinney, and well do we remember her as one of Calumet County’s most winsome lassies. She married the object of her choice, but unfortunately, the gradual, slow but sure destroyer of the beauties of our land – consumption – placed his hand upon her fair frame and step by step she was carried to the beauteous unknown land there to commingle with fellow angels. Everything that could be done was done to preserve her and although she seemed to revive on the Pacific slope, Death’s unerring dart compelled her to say “let me died among my kindred.” She was accordingly brought home and gradually passed away, the waters of Winnebago playing her requim.
The Times sympathy is extended to the bereft relatives.
