The death of Dr. Thomas Johnson, which occurred at his home in Adairsville Monday morning, removes from life one of Bartow’s best citizens.  He was a man of superior qualities of head and heart and those who knew him loved him for his many noble traits of character.  He was kind and generous to all, and his friends were only limited by his acquaintance.
