Death of Angus Johnson

Mr. Angus Johnson of Stevensville died Monday morning and was brought to Delhi Wednesday morning for interment in the Delhi Cemetery.

For months Mr. Johnson had been ill and after taking treatments in a Buffalo hospital for some time he was able to return to his home in Stevensville and was getting along so well that he expected to return to his duties as G.T.R. agent on 1 Apr 1921.

Saturday last he took a decidedly unfavorable turn and Sunday his relatives in Delhi were notified to come at once as his condition was critical.

Mr. and Mrs. Warren Kellum left on the Wabash in the afternoon and word came in Sunday night about 7.30 o'clock that the doctor had given up hopes of his recovery and he passed away Monday morning.

The remains were conveyed to the home of Mrs. Johnson's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Warren Kellum, and the funeral will take place today.

Mr. Johnson is well-known in Delhi, having wored in the local station under Mr. F. D. Barnes during which time he made many friends in the community.

His death seems doubly sad as his wife and relations had been hopeful that he had been permanently cured and would soon be enjoying his usual good health after his long siege of severe illness. Mr. Johnson was only 33 years old and leaves a widow, nee Miss May Kellum.
