ANOTHER VETERAN GONE
Mr. George W. Johnson Dies After Long Illness—Funeral Sunday Afternoon
Mr. George William Johnson, a life-long resident of this county, died last Friday morning at his home near Manassas. He had been in ill health for some time, but his death came as a shock to his many friends in the community.
His funeral was held Sunday afternoon from his late residence, Elder Vaughn, of the Primitive Baptist Church, officiating. Interment was made in the town cemetery where the services were conducted by Rev. H. L. Quarles, pastor of Manassas Baptist Church and chaplain of Ewell Camp, Confederate Veterans.
The pallbearers were his sons, Messrs. Lee and Ralph Johnson, his sons-in-law, Messrs. Egbert Harrell and G. L. Hutchison, his nephew, Mr. W. M. Johnson, and his grandson, Mr. Maurice Harrell.
Mr. Johnson was born in this county on October 22, 1845, his parents being Col. Joseph Johnson and Mrs. Emily Eliza Wheatley Johnson. In 1868 he was married to Mrs. Hannah Lamb Lindsley, who, with their five children — Mrs. Minnie J. Harrell, Mrs. Maud M. Hutchison, and Messrs. R. Lee Johnson, Willis L. Johnson and Ralph V. Johnson, all of this county — survives him. He leaves also two sisters, Misses Sarah and Annie Johnson; one brother, Mr. Joseph B. Johnson, and eight grandchildren, Misses
Mildred and Georgie Harrell and Myrtle and Gladys Johnson, and Maurice Harell, George and Eugene Johnson and John Julian Hutchison.
He was a Confederate veteran, having joined the Black Horse cavalry in 1862 and served until discharged on account of failing health in 1864; a member of the Primitive Baptist Church; and a member of Ewell Camp, C. V., and of the Manassas chapter of the Confederated Southern Memorial Association, and was treasurer of both organizations.

George W. Johnson, member of the Black Horse Company of Virginia, has exchanged the cross of the Confederate Soldier for the crown of Eternal Life. Always courteous, always kind, always generous, his friends mourn his departure from us.
