Caroline Christine JOHNSON

Blair Cemetery
Washington County,
Nebraska

Miss Caroline Christine Johnson, for over thirty-five years an instructor at Dana College, passed away in the hospital in Tilden, Nebraska, on the evening of July 18. Miss Johnson attended the recent convention of the United Evangelical Lutheran Church at Albert Lea, Minnesota. She did not feel well during the convention and following the meeting she became seriously ill at the home of her brother, Louis Johnson, of Brunswick, Nebraska. On June 28th she submitted to an operation for a ruptured appendix. For a while it seemed that she might recover, but complications set in that brought about her death.

Miss Johnson was born in Denmark, October 13, 1876, and came with her parents to Chicago at the age of four years. Three years later the family moved to Hampton, Nebraska, where Miss Johnson received her early education, and where she began at a very early age her teaching career. She held in turn the principalship of the High Schools at Ravenna, Gibbon and Schuyler, Nebraska. Early in December, 1906, she came to Dana College, where she taught with the exception of a few years spent in study, until her retirement in the spring of 1944.

Funeral services were held in the First Lutheran Church on Sunday afternoon, July 22. Burial was made in the Blair Cemetery. The Hengstier Mortuary of Creighton, Nebraska, was in charge of the burial.
