Superintendent of Schools Anderson, of this city, was killed by the

E F G H I J Col. Dan Johnson The
death of Col. Daniel D. Johnson of Tyler county,
yesterday, makes the third removal from the ranks of West Virginia's
prominent public men within the past month.
Col. Johnson was
one of the best known men in West Virginia. A college graduate and
an exceptionally bright man he naturally drifted into public life
though his private occupation was that of farming, of which he made
a study and at the time of his death held the position of State
Lecturer of the Agricultural Experiment Station at Morgantown.
Previously he had served several terms in the Legislature, during
one of which he was President of the Senate. He was a finished
parlamentarian and was chosen presiding officer of almost every
political convention of which he was a delegate.
He was a thorough
Democrat and very popular particularly in the agricultural sections
of the State, and deservedly so, for Col. Johnson was one of the
most approachable of men, whole-souled and honest and as modest as
he was learned. His death will be regretted by a host of warm
friends and admirers. ~ The Wheeling Register ~ December 19,

Mr. E. K.

Mr. E. K.

Paden's Valley, yesterday, will be a severe shock to his numerous

this city. ~ Wheeling Sunday Register
