Death of Mrs. Daniel Johnson
Elizabeth T. Beauchamp, daughter of Isaac and Mary Beauchamp, was born near Milford, Delaware, January 24, 1813. At the age of 20 she moved with her sister Mrs. R.A. Collins, to the then territory of Michigan and began a pioneer life. One year later she married Daniel C. Johnson, who whom she lived happily till his decease ten years ago. Mrs. Johnson was the mother of two children, a son who died in infancy, and a daughter, Mrs. R.H. Stoll, now living in Kansas.
She was more than a mother the motherless little daughter of her husband by a former marriage. Mrs. Johnson was a woman of rare domestic qualities and motherly affection. A Christian from her early girlhood, she knew nothing higher than allegiances to her "Heavenly Father," whose name was last upon her dying lips.
