Class of 1892. Willie D. Johnson. ~ ~ ~ ~ DEATH OF WILLIE D. JOHNSON: Will you please publish the following for the satisfaction of the father, relatives, friends and acquaintances of the late Willie D. Johnson, who, as was stated in your publication of July 27th [1892], from the effects of a bite from a coyote received the night of the 3rd of June, an account of which has been previously given. The article referred to says "and on July 8th" expired, after having experienced all the frightful sufferings attendant on that most dreadful of all maladies. The date of his passing away is correct; the remainder of the quotation is somewhat inaccurate. It has been stated by those who have witnessed several cases before that this was of the shortest duration, and lacked some of the more horrible features of hydrophobia that they had ever seen or read of. Willie told us that on awakening on the morning of the 7th of July he felt "quite miserable," and had never felt so queer before. At breakfast he tried to drink, but could not swallow water. Being on the range some twelve or fourteen miles from home, after stock, he was obliged to ride and drive cattle that distance. Riding through water first caused indescribable feelings of melancholy to come over him. He soon became very thirsty, but could not drink. Arriving home about 4 p.m. he was nearly choked for want of a drink, but could not swallow. He then took to his bed. His companion, who was with him all day, knew nothing of his being unwell. He seemed to realize the cause and final outcome of his sickness, yet exercised much faith in the laying on of hands by the Elders for the healing of the sick. He seemed to suffer only occasionally from an obstruction of some kind in the throat, and from thirst. We now sent a messenger after the father, who was absent, and could not possibly reach home before about noon of the 9th inst., although every arrangement was made to speed him on his way. On the morning of the 8th Willie appeared much better, and by drawing water through a straw he managed to swallow some. We felt quite hopeful of his recovery. He occasionally said something in a jocular way, or laughed at something spoken by those around him. He so continued until about half-past three p.m., when he began to feel very bad. This was due to the obstruction in the throat. He made efforts to force this up and spit it out, but he grew gradually worse, until his sufferings at times seemed unbearable. When occasionally he became easier, he would beg of us not to hold him here by our faith, but to let him go. About a quarter-past-seven o'clock, all hope of his recovery being gone, we felt to ask the Lord to be merciful, and, if He designed, to take the sufferer to Himself, to release him from pain. Therefore all present were asked to unite in prayer to this end, which they did, and received immediate answer; for ere the prayer was ended Willie ceased his struggles and lay perfectly calm and quiet until eight o'clock, when he passed away without a struggle. All felt that the Lord had indeed been merciful and kind. Willie did not lose consciousness until he ceased to suffer. We had the sympathy of the entire community, and many were there to witness it. I hope I may never witness such a scene again. The father did not arrive until about 3 p.m. on the 9th, worn and weary with travel and the great strain of mind. It was a heartrending scene, witnessed by numbers of sympathizing friends -- an almost heartbroken father gazing upon the lifeless form of a beloved son. Who can realize the feelings of the bereaved parent? No one but those who have passed through the same trial, surrounded with the same train of circumstances. The funeral took place at the meeting house and was largely attended. Discourses were delivered by Elders J. A. Little, Chas. Richens, and J. H. James. The longest procession of vehicles I have witnessed in this land followed the remains to their last resting place. ~ ~ Willie Derby Johnson was the eldest child of W. Derby Johnson, Jr., and Lucy Annie Salisbury Johnson. The latter was one of God's noblest women. She departed this life on the 26th of April, 1885, under distressing circumstances, during the absence of her husband in Mexico. Willie was born September 20, 1870, in Salt Lake City, Utah. The same fall his parents moved to Southern Utah, where he remained until the fall of 1885. Since then he has lived in Mexico. For the past two years he has attended the Brigham Young Academy at Provo, and returned home in May [1892]. He was a young man of promise, was popular among the young people of his acquaintance, and a great comfort to his father. He expected to go upon a mission the coming fall. He was preparing himself for it, and felt glad to be considered worthy. During his sickness he exhibited the utmost faith in the principles of the Gospel. We feel that there was work for him on the other side of the veil, and that his mother needed his help; for he said she came to him and told him he must come to her, as she needed him. Some of our young people made the remark after Willie had gone to rest, that it was the greatest testimony they had ever received of the efficacy of prayer to see how suddenly he was relieved of pain, by the blessing of God. Brother I. W. Peirce lost an infant son the same day. The services were held conjointly, and the same vehicle conveyed both bodies to the graves. May the comforting Spirit of the Lord rest upon the bereaved. ~ ~ E. W. Johnson, Colonia Diaz, Mexico, July 31, 1892. [Deseret News, August 13, 1892.]

Class of 1957. Kolleen Johnston. Children's Theater, Pep Club, Exchange Assembly, Chorus, Senior Hop Committee, Graduation Committee. BYU BA 1962. She married Roe E. Smith, BYU 1959. @2007 ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Our beautiful mother, Kolleen RaNee Johnston Smith, 81, passed away November 24, 2020, in Cedar City, Utah. She was born August 7, 1939 in American Fork, Utah to William Allen Johnston and Phillis Schaub Johnston. She married her sweetheart, Roe Elijah Smith on June 15, 1960 in Provo, Utah, and they were sealed for eternity on June 16, 1962 in the Los Angeles, California Temple. Mom was the fourth of five daughters. She spent her younger years in Price. Kolleen graduated from Brigham Young High School in the Class of 1957. She and our dad met in Provo, and after his time in the Army, they were married and moved to California where they had 6 children. Mom was one of the most Christ-like people we knew and an exceptional example of living a Christ-centered life. She attended the temple often, wrote in her journal nearly every day, and held several positions in her church. She was an amazing cook and baker, talented seamstress, quilter, and crocheter, and shared these gifts with everyone. She also played the piano, the ukulele, and could sing an alto part beautifully. Her gardening skills provided fresh fruits and vegetables as well as canned and dried food. She spent most of her life in selfless service. There were always platters of homemade cookies, bread and jam being delivered and she often made visits to those in need taking us along with her. We were always well groomed, not a hair out of place, and she made sure we had a hot breakfast every morning, a homemade lunch for school, and amazing dinners when we returned at night to a spick-and-span home. Mom was competitive and loved sports. Some of our best memories are her cheering for us, or her favorite teams, the Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Clippers, all of Southern Utah University athletics, or being beat by her at every game we played. She was a talented golfer and won many awards and she loved spending time with our dad on the golf course. Mom was completely devoted to our dad, and to her children. She gave everything she had, and was spunky, tough, and strong, and endured the pain in her physical body without complaint. She is the center of our family, but we are grateful she is free from pain and reunited with her baby boy Rod, sister Norma, and countless others she loved. She is survived by her spouse Roe Elijah Smith of Enoch, Utah, children Del Smith (Lara) of Hurricane, Utah, Len Smith of Vista, California, Sue Winkler (Kyle) of Hurricane, Utah, Edy Patrick (Alex) of Siesta Key, Florida, Eli Smith of Cedar City, Utah, grandchildren Zak, Tia, Brody, Jay, Evan, Garet, Shaney, Brook, William and Cher, and great-granddaughters Capri, Lucy, and Nayvi, and her sisters Paralee Johnston Bechtel of Cedar City, Utah, Carol Johnston Koehler of St. George, Utah, and Judi Johnston Robinson of Omaha, Nebraska. She was preceded in death by her son Rod Smith, sister Norma Lee Johnston, and her parents. Special thanks to the staff at Stonehenge in Cedar City and Mike Jensen who cared for both of our parents. A viewing will be held on December 4, 2020 from 5-5:45 pm at Southern Utah Mortuary, 190 North 300 West, Cedar City, Utah. Funeral services will be the same evening at 6 pm.
