Lake County Bee, April 17, 1919

On Sunday afternoon little Mathew Johnson, who passed away at the home of his 
aunt, Mrs. Hudson, Thursday night, was tenderly laid to rest in the Upper Lake 
Cemetery. Rev. Thurston of the Lakeport Christian Church conducted the services, 
speaking beautiful words of comfort and condolence to the heartbroken loved ones 
and friends, at the house and offering the simple prayers at the grave. The 
pallbearers were: James Scott, Harold Robinson, Wm. Hunter Jr., Roland and Ralph 
Meredith, and Keith Sleeper. Beautiful songs were furnished by Mrs. Marie 
Sleeper, Mrs. Frank Howe, Miss Florence Reynolds and the Misses Gertrude and 
Fanie Hunter. After the little grave was filled the schoolmates of the little 
man hid the mound under a bank of beautiful floral offerings.
