Obituary
CIVIL WAR VETERAN
Major Johnson Died Today from the Effects of a Shock"Major" Henry Johnson, of Washington, D. C., died at the home of J. J. Morse on the Worcester branch, this morning, from the effects of an apoplectic shock which he suffered about four days ago. Mr. Johnson was a veteran of the civil war and for some time was an inmate of the Soldiers' and Sailor's Home at Bath, N. Y. He came to this city about four months ago since which time he has been staying at the homes of some friends.
He was about 60 years of age. His wife died a number of years ago. Besides a son, who sings in one of the cathedrals in New York, he is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Sarah J. Tower and Mrs. Dewitt Ward, both residents of New York.
Arrangements are being made to have the body taken to New York, where the funeral will be held. Mr. Johnson has been ill for some time. About two years ago he suffered his first shock and never fully recovered from the effects of it.
