Johnston - Funeral services were held in the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 for Mrs. Elizabeth E. Johnston, 83, who passed away January 2 in Minnesota. Rev. A. Clyde Ehert of North Loup officiated. Elizabeth Ellen Johnston, daughter of William and Frena Sower, was born June 25, 1864 and passed quietly to her final rest at 12:30 p.m. January 2, 1948, being eighty three years and six months of age. She was born, reared and schooled in Marrow county Ohio. She was among the early pioneers, moving to Nebraska with her parents in the early 80's. In 1885 she was united in marriage with Richard H. Johnston of Howard county. To this union were born five sons and five daughters. Mr. Johnston passed away in February 1906, leaving his wife with seven children, the youngest being an infant in arms at that time. Two daughters and one son preceded him in death. From then on she kept the farm running and reared her children alone as a most faithful mother. A son Charles preceded her in death in September 1920. Since 1936, Minneapolis, Minnesota has been Mrs. Johnstons' home. The last five years have been spent with her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Lantz. In 1942 Mrs. Johnston began a systematic study of the Bible with the Bible instructor, Miss Beason and was baptized into the Seventh Day Adventist faith the same year, uniting her membership with the Auditorium Church of Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she has since been a faithful servant of the Lord. Until the time of her death she loved her Savior and had a very personal faith in him. She leaves to mourn: one brother, Levi Sower of White Bear, Minnesota; one sister, Mary Eppenbaugh of Waterville, Minnesota; three sons, William of Wolbach, Nebraska, George of Minneapolis, Minnesota and Richard also of Minneapolis; three daughters, Eva Lyions of Hastings, Nebraska; Lottie Lantz of Minneapolis; and Edna Rinehart of Waterville, Minnesota; twelve grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. Mrs. Johnston will be laid to rest beside her husband at Hillside cemetery at Wolbach, Nebraska, where she will await the call of the Life-giver, soon to summons his faithful children home. Hymns sang by the choir were: "My Faith Look Up To Thee", "Abide With Me" and "He Leadeth Me." Pallbearers were: Ed Kolar, Bill Kolar, Frank Kolar, Emmett Wagner, Tommie Lyions and Wm. Lyions.
