Note: The Advance Reporter 17 September 1925 Mrs P.E. Johnson, beloved wife of Tom H. Johnson of Dutch Creek was born November 29, 1853 and died at her home August 29, 1925. Deceased moved to Dutch Creek when in her fourth year and has resided there until her death. She was married to Tom H. Johnson at the age of 15. Early in life she became a member of the missionary Baptist Church and remained a devoted member all her life. She was a good neighbor, a kind friend, a true and devoted wife and mother. A husband and two children, Buddy Johnson and Mrs Molly Hale and a host of friends are left to mourn her departure. she was confined to her bed many weeks during her last sickness and the kindness of the many neighbors and friends was in constant evidence. Especially are thanks due to Mrs. Leo Starr, Mrs Dolly Hale and Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Hale. She will be greatly missed in the home and in the community where she spent her life. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Emmerine's parents were born in Alabama. The following text is from Charlene Holland, researcher, friend and cousin. It's part of her theory on the Hutchinson family, dated 10/24/98: "There were only two Hutchinson, and one Hutcheson families listed in Scott County in 1870, and these same families were listed in 1880 with the addition of some of the descendants (I believe) of these families. One of these was an Ellen Hutcheson who I believe to be the daughter of A.J. Hutchinson listed as Lurilla E. (#8 below). She was living with a Thomas and Emeline Johnson family as their ward. This Johnson family was found in 1870 living next door to A.J. Hutchinson. Emeline Johnson was also born in Alabama. It is feasible that she is also a daughter of A.J. Hutchinson. Living next door to this Johnson family is the David Wilson family again. On the other side is the William T. and Elizabeth James family. Also living close by is the George Washington and Sarah Terry family and the Isom T. Jones (son of David J. Jones) family. I have put these people together in a theoretical family group, until I can research them further.
PROOF THAT CHARLENE'S THEORY WAS CORRECT: State of Arkansas, County of Scott In the widows claim of Nancy E. Tate widow of Thomas W. Tate, late of Co I, Second Reg't Infy Vols, personally came before a Notary Public in and for the aforesaid County and State, Harriet F. Brothers and Percilla E.

We have been personally acquainted with the soldier and his first wife all the time from children and we also know that Thomas W. Tate the soldier is also dead. He died the 12 day of Sept 1902. They further declare their post-office is Olio County of Scott State of Arkansas; and they are 50 and 49 years of age. Signed by Thomas J.
