Aged Knott Co. Lady Dies: Thursday, Oct. 22, 1931, after many months of suffering, Mrs. Sarah Johnson, wife of Babe Johnson, passed to the sweet beyond. A few days before she breathed her last she was stricken with "paralysis and tho everything in human power was done to ward off death, nothing seemed of any avail. Aunt Sarah was known all over this section as "Grandma" Johnson, because the neighbors, their children, her grandchildren and all who knew her called her by this endearing name.

Grandma Johnson was born in the year 1850 in Wise County, VA., and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Dotson. She came to Letcher County when ten years of age. Her parents first located on Dryfork near Whitesburg. When nineteen years of age she became the wife of Fielding Johnson, A Federal soldier, and the result was a happy union. Following their marriage the couple located on Breedings Creek in what is now Knott County. Ten children were born into the family, seven of which are still living.

At the time of her death she had fourteen grandchildren. Her longlife was devoted to doing things for her neighbors and friends. Hers was a noble character and her daily walks and works marked her as a noble Christian lady. A more virtuous and home-loving lady never lived. Everybody loved grandma Johnson and everybody will miss her noble spirit and her generous life and deeds.

We sometimes wonder that God gives us such endearing friends, such loving companions, enables us to keep them so long and then calls them for His own. Then we realize that He is the judge of all the earth and always does right. So we bow humbly to His will. We want to thank all the neighbors and friends who so nobly stood by us in our bereavement and rendered such valuable service in our hour of need. May heaven's richest blessing descend on all of you. -- The Family. Cody, Ky.
