Miss GEORGE was well known to McDonald people the greater part of her life
having been spent here. The GEORGE homestead was the site now occupied by
the Dr. LAROSS residence.

Died at her own home in McDonald, Pa., Sabbath evening, Sept. 28, 1902,
Miss Fannie Elizabeth JOHNSTON, being in her sixty-first year. Miss
JOHNSTON was born January 14, 1842, on a farm owned by her father, on which
most of the town of McDonald is built: here she lived and died. She was one
of five children of whom William and Mrs. W. B. MOORHEAD are yet living, the
later of whom has been quite ill for the last four years. Miss JOHNSTON
attended the U. P. church from childhood and had long been a member of the
same, latterly being a member of the U. P. church at Noblestown. The last
four months of her life she was a faithful attendant of the First U. P.
church of McDonald. She had great mental faculties and was a great lover of
humanity. In the most practical way she was a philanthropist, and posses
the rare virtue of being silent about it. She will be greatly missed in
McDonald. Services at the U. P. church Wednesday at 10 a.m., by Rev. W. D.
IRONS, D. D., assisted by Rev. MORRIS and Rev. LHEUREUX. Interment private
at 10 o'clock in the family lot in Miller's Run cemetery.
