Kathrina Johnson was born in Sweden in 1849. In 1877 she was married to Peter Johnson. Twelve years later they came to America and located in Santaquin, Utah. They spent thirteen years there, coming to the Payette Valley in 1902, and have lived at Fruitland since. Mrs. Johnson suffered a severe attack of sickness last summer, from which it was thought she would not recover, but since then she had been in fair health until she was stricken with pneumonia thirty days prior to her death, which occurred Saturday morning, January 10th, at 8:20. She was a member of the Swedish Luthern Church.
She was the mother of six sons and one daughter, one son dying in infancy. She leaves to mourn her loss her husband, five sons, Jack and Andy of Fruitland, Pell, of Emmett, and Martin and Jonas of Santaquin, Utah, one daughter, Mrs. Caroline Thebo, of King Hill, Idaho, fifteen grandchildren besides a host of friends. The family was all together in a reunion at Christmas time. At that time she was able to be about and they had some family pictures taken for which they are all very thankful now. The children were all present at her death except Mrs. Thebo, who returned to her home last Tuesday, the others having stayed all the time. Funeral services were held from the Bretheren Church Monday at one o'clock, conducted by Rev. Herschel Shank and interment made in Riverside cemetery.
