A Golden Wedding, Blanco, Feb. 19. Today, in these mountains, we celebrate Rev. Samuel Johnson's "golden wedding." He was born in Knox County, Tennessee; removed to Alabama, where he married his present excellent wife, and remained ten years, serving his people in the legislature, upper and lower house, several years. Became a minister of the gospel, immigrated to Texas, and for more than twenty years he has labored and preached for these mountain people on the Texas frontiers. God has blessed him and his spouse, and they have walked together in wedded union fifty years, and look as though they might continue many more years to do good for their country and people. Their numerous friends here surprised them with many presents and a sumptuous dinner today, and a visit to their homestead. We had the pleasure of feasting with the admiring company, and took part with Rev. Gill and Carleton in suitable religious services. H. W. South

OBITUARY:
A mother in Israel has fallen asleep in Jesus. Hannah L. Johnson was born in the State of Tennessee, December 9, 1806; she moved to the State of Alabama with her father, where she remained until her marriage with the Rev. Samuel Johnson, February 22, 1827. In the same year she made a public profession of religion and joined the Methodist Church in which she lived a consistent and useful member until August 21, 1877, when she joined the church triumphant. Brother and Sister Johnson came to Texas in 1848, and for some time past lived in Blanco county, where they lived together in great peace and usefulness, and long will the church and community greatly miss Mother Johnson. She was truly a helpmeet to her husband, in aiding him in dispensing the gospel to perishing sinners and always ready to hold up the hands of God's ministers as they strove against the powers of darkness. Mother Johnson was a woman of clear and well cultivated mind. And well did she know how to make her home a home for, and a place to be desired, by all God's ministers that knew her. But now she sleepeth; we will hear her motherly voice no more on earth; but yet she lives -- she lives in the affections of a large circle of admiring friends, and long will her godly example speak in gentle and persuasive tone in our land. She had been a child of affliction, and oft did it seem that she had come to the waters of death; but then was her faith stronger, and brighter shone her Christian character, but now she suffers no more, she sorrows no more, and all tears are wiped from her eyes, and she is blest. "For I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, write; blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, sayeth the spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them." -- W. L. Carleton.
