New Mother Dies, Leaving 10-Day-Old Daughter, Sept. 24, 1925

Mrs. Cleve Johnson Dead. . . Prominent Young Lady Passes Away Early This Morning at the Watauga Hospital—Funeral Tomorrow

Mrs. B.C. Johnson died at the Watauga Hospital here this morning after an illness of only a few days.

Mrs. Johnson was formerly Miss Mae, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R.M. Greene of this city, and a niece of the Professors Dougherty of the Appalachian State Normal. She had been married for only about two years and with her husband had made her home at the Greene residence. She was educated at the Normal and was an accomplished musician and an artist of unusual ability.

Her death has cast a gloom over the entire town, for she numbered her friends by her acquaintances—a lovable character, always having a kind word and pleasant smile for those with whom she came in contact. She leaves a husband and an infant daughter 10 days old, father, mother, and two brothers to mourn her seeming untimely death.

Funeral services will be conducted from the Baptist church tomorrow, after which interment will be in the town cemetery.

The Democrat extends deepest sympathy to the husband and others of her family in their bereavement.
