W A King to MI Long lo’ n Death of Harriet L. Johnson. Mrs. Harriet L. Call Johnson died last night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Vance M. Johnson on Mason hill, with whom ‘she had come to visit during the winter from her home in Butler, Mo. Her death was due to heart troubles with. which she had suffered during the last several years her conditions having become so critical two years ago that her so: was summoned from this city to her bedside. Last fall her physicians advised her that she could not with- stand the rigors of another winter in Missouri and it was with the hope that Arizona climatic conditions would restore her health that she came to the home of her son in this city in the early winter. She sus- tained some relief and until recently it was thought possible that she would continue making gain in health. Last week, however, her condition changed for the worse and her de- cline became steady, ending in death. The deceased was a woman of strong character and during her life had much. experience in the up- building of the west. She was born in Fabins, New York, July 13, 1839. In 1855 she was wedded there to Wm. Hanford. One son survives this union, Willis E. Hanford of Ap- pleton, N. Y. The husband died in 1864, a victim of Libby prison, where he was held as a Federal prisoner after service through the war to that year. In 1867 she was married to John Q. Johnson. They came west, settling in Michigan and later living in Wisconsin, from where they went to Missourfin 1875 settling in New- ton county, then just being reclaimed. Here they made their home and reared their family, attaining much prominence and esteem in the com- munity.
