— It is estimated that well over 2,000 persons attended funeral services Sunday afternoon at the Lonetree church near Galva for Rev. Jesse Johnson, pastor of the church who died suddenly and unexpectedly the morning of April 5 after suffering a stroke of paralysis. He was only 42 years of age. Many of those attending stood outside the church building, which was filled to capacity. Friends and relatives came from such distant states as Florida, Louisiana, and Michigan, Rev. Johnson having been widely known as a minister and evangelist in the Church of God in Christ Mennonite conference. The services were in charge of Rev. F. H. Wenger of Hesston.
