Mrs. Charlotte B. Johnson, one of the oldest and best known employes of the Post Office Department, died suddenly this morning of heart disease at her home, 1607 16th street northwest.
For some months Mrs. Johnson has had trouble with her heart, and upon recommendation of her physician had obtained indefinite leave of absence to go abroad. She was to have sailed on the St. Louis the first week in July, and had made all preparations for the trip. The last attack she had was the latter part of the week, but it passed off, and left no bad effects. Early this morning she awakened her maid and sent hurriedly for her physician. He responded promptly, but found Mrs. Johnson in a collapse. She rallied under stimulants and remained conscious for some time. She met death bravely and seemed to realize from the first the attack would prove fatal. To her physician she said she had no fears of death; that she had lived with charity for all and was ready to go if it was God's will. It was sad, she said just before she died, that she had not obtained employment for a friend who had sought her influence.
There was many a heartache at the Post Office Department this morning when the sad intelligence came. Everybody loved Mrs. Johnson. She was the recognized champion of the oppressed; the leader in all charitable works. She often said she lived to do good, and those who knew her best realize that her mission was well performed. From the highest to the lowest in the big department came expressions of grief. Yesterday she was bright and cheerful. She closed the day with an appeal for the promotion of a fellow clerk, and left the world with the regret that she had not accomplished her purpose in this regard.
A meeting of the clerks of the department was called today by the third assistant postmaster general, Mr. Merritt. The meeting will take place after office hours.
Mrs. Johnson was the wife of the late George M. Johnson of Baltimore and daughter of the late Alexander R. Boteier of West Virginia, one of the oldest and best known families in the state. He was at one time representative in Congress, and during the civil war was a senator in the confederate congress. Mrs. Johnson leaves two married sisters to mourn her loss, Mrs. Didier of Baltimore and Mrs. Pendleton of Shepherdstown, W. Va. The funeral arrangements have not been made, although it has been decided the interment will be at Baltimore in the grave with her daughters.
