Read More	From The Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, July 20, 1939, transcribed by Linda Berney: Services Held For Mrs. Leander Johnson – Last rites were conducted Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock for Mrs. Leander Johnson, 80, who had passed away Wednesday, July 12, at the home of a son Dave A. Johnson near Dannebrog. She had been ill less than a week, and her death grieved the entire community. The Rev. E. N. Haugse, pastor of the Trinity Lutheran church, conducted the services. Interment was made in the Hillside Cemetery. Pallbearers were her grandsons LeRoy Oakeson, Lawrence Christensen, Clyde Johnson, Dale Johnson, Kenneth Anderson, and Lynn Johnson. Flower Bearers were also grandchildren: Darlene Lang, Gladys Johnson, DeLores May Oakeson, Harold Johnson and Clayton Johnson. As Clara Gustave Larson, she was born December 3, 1858, at Krankeborg, Sweden, and passed to her reward at Dannebrog, Nebr., July 12, 1939, at the age of 80 years, 7 months and 9 days. She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran church in her native land, and remained a faithful member throughout her lifetime. She came to this country in 1885 and settled in St. Paul, Nebr., on August 29 of that year. On September 13, 1885, she was united in marriage to Leander Johnson in a school now known as the August Carlson school. Her husband preceded her in death on March 8, 1937. After their marriage they located on a farm in Rock Creek 5 miles southeast of this place where they lived until the spring of 1902. To this union eight children were born, Edwin L., Mrs. Alma Christensen, Herman B., of Wolbach, Mrs. N. O. Oakesen of Lincoln, Joe C. of Grand Island, Mrs. Elof Anderson of Mead, Nebr., A. Fred of Osceola, and Dave A. of Dannebrog, Nebr. In 1902 the family moved to a farm south of Greeley where they resided until 1924 when Mr. and Mrs. Johnson moved to Wolbach. Here they resided until Mr. Johnson's death, and since which time she has resided winters with her daughter in Lincoln and summers with the other children. Another pioneer who had experienced the hardship of settling this territory has now passed on, but like others who did so much in the early days leaves the community richer in all things, especially in setting an example of courage and perseverance during those days when luxuries were unknown, and happiness and comfort was gained only in labor. Besides her children she is survived by one brother in Denver, Colo., eighteen grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. A host of other relatives and friends mourn her passing, and the Messenger joins the community in extending sincere sympathy to the bereaved family.
