Tombstone Engraving CARLIE W. JOHNSON/JAN13,1900/JULY 26,1936

Resolution from his church upon his death: "IN MEMORIAM" - On July 26, 1936 the death angel visited the home of Mrs. C.W. Johnson and bore the sweet, gentle spirit of her companion, Mr. C.W. Johnson, to the beautiful Great Beyond. Mr. Johnson had been in poor health for some time, but his going away was sudden and unexpected. Mr. Johnson was born January 13, 1900 and was married to Miss Bonnie Stewart on December 14, 1922. To this union three children were born; one girl and two boys, one boy having gone on to await and welcome the coming of father. Mr. Johnson was thirty-six years old at the time of his death. He gave his heart to Christ seven years ago and united with the Missionary Baptist Church. He was ordained as a deacon of New Hopeful Baptist church. Mr. Johnson was a faithful husband and loving father, and his cheerful kindness endeared him to others as well as his own family. He leaves to mourn his loss a devoted wife, one daughter, one son, a father and one brother, besides a host ofother relatives and friends. We realize our loss and cherish his memory, yet we bow in humble submission to Him who doeth all things well. Therefore be it resolved; First: that we extend to the bereaved ones our deepest sympathy. Second: that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of the deceased. Third: that a copy be placed on our church records, one be sent to the Enterprise-Recorder for publication, and one to the Baptist Witness for publication. By Committee
