On November 19, 1917, their only living child, nineteen-year-old William Claude Newton Johnson, died of complications of the measles in the solders’ barracks at Camp Mills, Long Island, New York, where he was awaiting transport to the war in Europe. The three deaths so close together were devastating. Then, miraculously, they had another baby, son Charles Thomas Johnson on January 10, 1919. And that baby died on April 6, 1919. Tom and Lu were left childless, losing all four children in just over three years. They spent as much time as they could with their many nieces and nephews, who adored the Johnsons. Adams County Free Press – Thursday, August 4, 1955 - Corning, Iowa, Page 2 Lulu Wilson Johnson Lulu Adel Johnson was born March 14, 1879, to William R. and Sarah J. Wilson, in Adams County, and passed away at the Rosary hospital in Corning on July 28, 1955, at the age of 77 years, 4 months, and 14 days. When twelve years of age she moved with her parents to Montgomery county, where she resided for seven years. Shortly after her family’s return to Prescott, she was married to Thomas M.

Mr. Johnson preceded her in death in 1941. Survivors are an uncle, Frank Crammer of Pamona, Kansas; a sister, Mrs. Maude Carey of Winterset, her brother George Wilson of Prescott, and several nieces and nephews, besides other relatives and a host of friends.

Mrs. Johnson had been an invalid for 18 years; but despite her condition, she was always busy and most interested in her friends, doing everything possible for them. The past three years were spent in the Rosary hospital at Corning, where everything was done to make her last days comfortable. Funeral services were held at the Christian church in Prescott Sunday, July 31, at 3:30 p.m., in charge of the Rev. Joe M. King.
