OBITUARY:
"There is a reaper whose name is death, and with his sickle keen on the evening of March 30, 1925, this reaper came to Winchester, Indiana to garner by the strokie of his sickle at the age of seventy-four years, four months and thirty days the life of Anna E. Platt Johnston, daughter of Jacob and Charlotte Davis Platt. She was of a family of seven chilren and was born October 31, 1851, on a farm located where the town of Lynn now stands. Here practically all of her girlhood and school days were spent sharing the pleasures and burdens of the pioneer days of the community in which she lived. At the age of twenty years, she was united in marriage to Perry Johnston, and for years together they shared the sunshine and shadows of farm life, until the summer of 1915, when the husband and father was called home. During these forty-three years of wedded life there came to this home three children namely: Harve, deceased, Mary, Deceased and Thomas H. Besides the one son she leaves to mourn her departure two affectionate daughter-in-laws, Maude of Winchester, and Agnes of Arkansas, and two graddaughters, Anna Ruth and Mary Pauline Johnston of Brooklyn, Arkansas, one brother, Lee Platt, two sister-in-laws and a number of relatives and friends. Along with these three is nephew, Ernie Platt, who for a number of years together with his mother, enjoyed the mutual benefit of Aunt Anna's home, and today he is grieving of the thought of parting with one who so tenderly cared for him.
When only a girl she gave her heart to God, but like many others she strayed from the Heavenly Father, but seven years ago she renewed her covenant at Cherry Grove camp meeting. Although in disposition she was quiet and timid, she was true to her Lord and to the church at Martindale, where she retained her membership. Although not often privileged to attend the services for worship she was always willing to bear her part of the financial obligation to the church.
Aunt Anna was one whose real life was only known to those with whom she was closest and how she will be missed by the son, of whom she labored so lovingly for she found no sacrifice too great for Tom and Maude, and now her heart went out to the two grand-daughters in Arkansas, always sending them gifts, helping them and visiting them once each year."
