Edgar Johnston - Madison Parish, Louisiana 

From Madison Journal August 11, 1917

Edgar Johnston

The beautiful Mason writes were held at the Silver Cross Cemetery in Tallulah, August 8, 1917 over 
the remains of the late Edgar Johnston. Many friends assembled to bear silent attestation of their 
regret over the said incident of his death in the meridian of the life to which he had attained. 
He was a respected citizen, a Mason in good standing and a devoted husband and father. He had many 
of life's difficulties, but with the aid of a devoted wife the future looks bright and promising.

His passing away was not only regretted, but intensely sad. To the devoted mother, the loving wife 
and the interesting children a full meed of sympathy is extended. In the beautiful Masonic rite the 
words "Alas my brother" found a silent response in the hearts of those who had assembled to show 
respect for lamenting the dead. M. B. Y.
