GRANDMOTHER OF
JOHNSON GIRLS
KILLED BY CAR
Tragic Accident in At
lanta Monday Evening
—Gave Her Life For
Loved Ones.
Friends in Cartersville will read with
much sorrow an account fo an auto ac
cident Monday afternoon in Atlanta,
which took the life of Mrs. Fannie D.
Johnson, beloved mother-in-law of Mrs.
Rockwell Johnson, and grandmother of
little Misses Helen and Anne Johnson,
who spend much time here with Mrs.
Johnson’s mother, Mrs. Henry Harvey.
The deceased was also well-known
to many in Cartersville, and all of -them
were inyxpressibly grieved to iearn of
THE TRIBUNE-NEWS, CARTERSVILLE, GA., JUNE 28, 1923.
her tragic death, a detailed account of'
which follows:
The twilight of her life held a happy
glow for Mrs. Fannie D. Johnson, of 50
Columbia avenue.
There was a duty imposed by love,
which filled every hour —watchfulness
in every extremity over her two grand
children, the daughters of her dead
son, with whom and their young wid
owed mother she made her home. There I
was the pleasure of daily sacrifice—
and there must have been a. crowning
happiness in the literal gift of her life, j
She was fatally injured by an automo
bile Monday evening > which struck her
as, heedless of her own danger, she
stood her ground and thrust the little
children from its path.
Mrs. Johnson died in St. Josephs In
firmary Monday evening, several hours
after she was struck by the automobile
of Dr. W. L. Orr, of 950 Piedmont ave
nue, as the car was backed from a
driveway in Peachtree street, near
Eleventh street. Her granddaughters,
whose hands she held as they jvalked
slowly along the sidewalk, were unhurt,
having been flung backward from the
path of the car by a burst of inspired
strength, said to have been surprising
in a woman of Mrs. Johnson's years.
Death Ends Stroll.
The stroll which ended in the grand
mother's ultimate sacrifice, was but an
other occasion of her care. One of the
little girls had been ill and the walk
in the late afternoon was to give her an
outing, in the hope that the roses would
come back to her cheeks.
The grandmother between the chil
dren, the little group had come slowly
from their home, a block or so away.
They came down Eleventh street to
ward Peachtree, and were crossing at
that corner when the doctor’s automo
bile slipped out of a driveway.
House and an embankment veiled the
car from sight of the three until it was
upon them. The little girls gave a
start and were said to haVe tugged at
their grandmother's hands, in a sud
den panic. Mrs. Johnson's frail body
stiffened and she seemed to exert ev
ery atom of her strength to draw the
children backward and fling them from
the driveway. Then the car struck
her.
When the body vas picked up it was
found the chest was crushed, where a
wheel apparently had passed over it.
The aged woman was taken hurriedly
to St. Josephs Infirmary, where she
died about midnight.
Doctor Arrested.
Policeman John Crankshaw and
Henry Donehoo arrested Dr. jOrr on a
charge of reckless driving, and he was F
held in bail of SI,OOO.
Mrs. Johnson, 65 years old, was a
former resident of Columbus, Ga. When
one of her sons died some time ago, she
came to Atlanta to live with his young
widow, Mrs. Rockwell Johnson, at 50
Columbia avenue, and to help care for
the two fatherless girls, Annie, five, and
Helen six.
Mrs. Johnson was said to have given
every thought to the care of the little
girls, and the recent illness of one was
a cause of incessant worry on her part.
She was said to have been happy Mon
day afternoon in the thought that the
child was better, and would be helped
even more by the little stroll she
planned.
Besides the daughter-in-law in Co
lumbia avenue, Mrs. Johnson is sur
vived by a son, Gilbert Johnson, for
mer newspaper man, and now an exec
utive of the George W. Ford Advertis
ing Agency; a daughter. Miss Helen
Johnson, and a sister, Mrs. Frank Mar
tin, of Ozark, Ala.
Burial in Columbus.
Funeral services were held Tuesday
afternoon at 3 o’clock in the chapel of
H. M. Patterson & Son, Rev. Richard
Orme Flinn, pastor of the North Ave
nue Presbyterian church, officiating.
The body was sent to Columbus, Ga.,
at 4:55 o'clock for burial.

Kingston, Ga., June 28.—(Special.)—
Mr. G. C. Christian and Dr. R. E. Bur
ton spent two days in Atlanta lasi week
ini order to join the Elks being mem
bers o t a class of 1,200. ‘They will also
attend the great Elks’ convention next
month, when thirty special train loads
of delegates are expected to pass
through Kingston, to say nothing of
other roads entering the South's great
est convention city, all carrying their
full quota.
Speaking of his home town, Pavo,
in Southwest Georgia, Mr. Christian
says it is the only one that ever shipped
a car load of tomato plants at one
time, the first to ship a car load of
sweet potatoes, and built the first cur
ing house for sweet potatoes. It has
held two poultry sales within the last
thirty days,, shipping a carload of
chickens each time. Pretty good for a
town of 1,200 inhabitants, and an en
couragement and example to us all.

Sunday morning with 150 gallons of ice
cream to dispense to the visitors.
They reached here before daybreak,
and applied to city authorities for per
mission to open the doors long enough
to place their property inside. TUs
permission was granted.
Following the ice cream as it was
"carried into the store went as many
people as could crowd into the place.

finally succeeded in doing.
Proprietors of the drug store came
right back at him by swearing out a
warrant charging trespass. The mar
