D., July 11—(4)—Death came Sunday to James Johnson, vet- eran Minot attorney and business man, and one of northwest North Dakota’s best known pioneers, He was 82 years old and came to the Mouse river valley in 1883. Johnson had been in frail health since suffering an attack of pneu- monia in the winter of 1931, when he was critically ill for several weeks. He rallied from that illness, however, and recovered to the extent that he was able to be about his home and to visit his law offices occasionally, but he did not regain his former health. For the last few days Johnson had been failing steadily and, following a period of several hours of unconsci- ousness Sunday, death came at 1:15 m. ‘ No funeral arrangements have been made yet. Effort is being made to reach a son, Rollie Johnson, who lives at Slocan City, B. C., and a daughter, Mrs. Daniel Conan at Hoodsport, ‘Wash., and until it is known whether or not they will be able to come def- inite time of the rites will not be set. Johnson was vice president and chairman of the board of directors of the First National Bank and Trust company, Minot, and that institution will be closed during the afternoon of the funeral, R. E. Barron, presi- dent, said Monday, The Union Na- tional Bank and Trust company and the First International Bank also will be closed in tribute to Johnson, who in addition to his banking interests in Minot was president of the First State Bank of Burlington. Burial is to be at Burlington, where Johnson settled nearly a half century ago when he pioneered into the Mouse river valley, and where a son and daughter are buried. He had for many years been a member of the First Presbyterian church in Minot, where the funeral service will be held preceding interment in Burlington. Johnson is survived by his wife, to whom he had been married 53 years; two daughters, Mrs. H. A. Kluver of Minot, and Mrs. Conan, and by four sons, Lyle, who lives at the family home, and since his graduation from the University of North Dakota law school last year has been in charge of his father’s law offices; Harvey and George at Burlington, and Rol- jie in Slocan City, B.
