Addison Johnson, son of Mrs. Mack Uhlman and the late Olmon Johnson of that community. Pte. Johnson was born in East Torbrook May, 1921, and spent the most of his life about Torbrook. Here he attended public school and worked about on farms and in the lumber woods. In June 1942, he enlisted in the Mechanical Corps of the Canadian Army and underwent training in Kingston, Ont., Halifax and Aldershot. He was stationed in Aldershot in the mechanical branch of the services when he met his tragic death. On Monday, Sept. 6th, he was critically injured in a motorcycle accident near Aylesford, and passed away on the following day. Addison was a popular young man, industrious, and made many friends wherever he went. The large crowd of nearly 300 people who attended the funeral in the Torbrook Baptist Church testified to this fact. The funeral service was an impressive one conducted by Rev. A.G. McClare, pastor of the church. The scripture was read by Rev. Eugene Davis of Kingston United Baptist Church, and prayer was offered by Rev. Boothroyd of the Kingston United Church. The sermon was preached by Capt. Innis, Protestant Chaplain of Aldershot Camp, who brought a very comforting message from the words, "I am the Resurrection and the Life." Mr. Frank Martyn, Nictaux Falls, sang very feelingly "The Old Rugged Cross." There are left to mourn the passing of this young man, besides the mother, four sisters (Orma), Mrs. Edward Woodbury, Tremont; (Olive), Mrs. Norman Uhlman, Kingston Village; (Ada), Mrs. Simeon Wentzel, Brickton, and Olga, who resides with her mother in Deep Brook. There are also two brothers, Allison, of Nictaux Falls, and Phillip of the Canadian Active Army. The floral offerings were many and beautiful and cards bore the following names of those who paid tribute in this manner to the young soldier who gave his life in service: Mother and Mack; brothers and Sisters; Aunt Annie, Uncle Nelson and family; Aunt Elsie, Uncle Will and family; Aunt Mary and family; Ross and Maxine; cousin Jean and family; Cousin Violet; Maurice, Mildred and family; Mr. and Mrs. Max M. Nafthal; Mrs. Stronach and family; Mr. and Mrs. Norris Banks; Laurie and Laura Banks, Allie and Maude Keddy; Mr. and Mrs. P.D. Parker; Mr. and Mrs. Everett Vidito; Friends of the community; The Regiment.
