Susan Johnson<\/strong> was born in North Carolina, date unknown; professed a hope and united with the Methodist.\u00a0 She became dissatisfied and joined the Primitive Baptist at Cedar Creek church, Wilson County, Tenn., baptized by Eld. T. M. Lancaster<\/strong>.\u00a0 She intermarried with James Johnson<\/strong>, and bore to him four children, of whom three are dead; but one living.\u00a0 She was left a widow in 1855, and she lived the last twenty-two years of her life with her son-in-law, Eld. John A. Barnfield<\/strong>, and died at his house in Macon county, Tenn., August 11, 1887.<\/p>\n

Sister Johnson suffered with that dreadful disease cancer.\u00a0 Eight years her sufferings were intense, but she bore her afflictions with great patience.\u00a0 She was sensible of her departure, and said she was anxious to go at the good Lord’s time. About the last thirty-six hours of her life she talked considerably and enjoyed happy seasons.\u00a0 Her Saviour was present with her in six troubles, and when the seventh and last trouble came Jesus !
\ndid not forsake her.\u00a0 Blessed Jesus! Just before she died she said “Bless the Father!”and then fell asleep, as we believe in Jesus.\u00a0 Yes, Sister Johnson is gone the way the righteous go.\u00a0 She went in peace, that blessed peace made her rejoice and praise her Saviour in her last hours of this life.\u00a0 Oh what a consolation to her living relatives.\u00a0 And to her only living child, your mother is now conqueror of all afflictions, trials and troubles of a sin-smitten world.\u00a0 Dear child, how does the matter stand with you, are you prepared to meet her in the sunny banks of sweet deliverance, where you will reign with her, and dwell with her forever?\u00a0 Oh come let us go where there is no night, no sickness, no death, no parting, but life eternal, peace, health, and pleasure forever more.\u00a0 O, blessed hope, that anchors in Jesus.\u00a0 O, Jesus bring us off more than conquerors through thyself, thou that has loved us and given thyself for us, and has made us kings and priests, and we hope to reign with thee forever, world without end.\u00a0 Amen!\u00a0\u00a0 MILES F.
