Chas. A. Johnson of LeClaire died suddenly yesterday afternoon about 6 o’clock at Dr. Bailey’s office in LeClaire, the cause of death being apoplexy. Mr. Johnson first complained of a bad headache about 10 o’clock Monday morning and as it did not seem to abate in the least, some of his friends persuaded him to go to a doctor. After walking to the Doctor’s office he suddenly grew worse and continued so until his death. His death was a shock to all who knew him, as Mr. Johnson had the appearance of being a strong, healthy man.
Mr. Johnson was born in Fulton, Ill. Oct 30, 1855, but has lived in LeClaire most of his life. He leaves besides his mother, who lives in LeClaire, four brothers and two sisters, as follows: Wm and Wallace of Beloit, Wis., Harry and Clark of LeClaire, Mrs. J. E. Lancaster, also of LeClaire, and Mrs. Jennie Toole of Rockford, Ill. He also leaves two children, Lynn and Miss Helen, of LeClaire.
The funeral announcements will be made later.
