JOHNSON, Mrs. Jennie, Beeville Bee, 5 Oct 1900:

Mrs. Johnson, nee Miss Jennie Williams, wife of August T. Johnson, a well-known citizen of this 
city, died last Friday evening after a short illness.   

Her funeral took place from the Catholic Church on Saturday afternoon, the remains being 
followed to the grave by a large concourse of friends of the bereaved husband and little ones 
who have sustained the greater loss fate can bestow.  

Mrs. Johnson was a native of Washington, Arkansas, a daughter of Capt. Matt Moss, one 
of the pioneers of that section.  She first came to Beeville in 1888 as  teacher of music in the high 
school and here met and won by the man who has made her a devoted husband, and whose life 
she enabled by her true womanly and Christian character.  

Five children have blessed this union, the eldest 11 years of age, and the youngest a week or 
more old at its Mother’s death.  

Truly it can be said that a death is not sadder, nor bereavement more deplorable than the loss 
of a mother’s care to this little family.
