- Death Cuts Short Promising Career Of Young Doctor Willard E. Johnson, Former Almonte Boy, Dies This Morning In Montreal
Almonte people were shocked to learn of the death in Montreal at three o'clock this (Thursday) morning of Dr Willard E. Johnson, son of Mr and Mrs Adam Johnson of Almonte, in his 34th year. Dr Johnson visited his relatives here at Christmas time. He knew he was suffering from a form of stomach ulcer and hoped it would yield to medical treatment and observance of a special diet. On Friday afternoon last, shortly after he had been engaged in an operation on a patient, he suffered an acute attack to the trouble that had been bothering him for some time. An immediate operation showed that a rupture had occurred at the point where the ulcer was located thus inducing peritonitis. As time passed it looked a though the peritonitis would clear up but pneumonia set in thus complicating the patient's condition and narrowing his chances of recovery. In spite of the best attention that could be provided Dr Johnson passed away early this morning. His parents had gone to Montreal when his condition became serious last Friday. His three sisters left Almonte on an early train this morning when it was decided their brother had but a short time to live. Their train reached the city at seven o'clock, several hours after death ensued. Dr Johnson was a promising young physician and surgeon who had already made considerable progress on the ladder that leads to professional success. He was born in Almonte on Dec 26th, 1902, and attended the public and high school here. He was most successful in his studies and entered McGill University at the early age of 17. He graduated with the degree of M.D., C.M. in 1925 and took up practice in Montreal. Dr Johnson became associated with Drs William and Howard Reilly, natives of the Almonte district and graduates of the local high school, who have been prominent in the medical circles of Montreal for a long time. He was appointed resident doctor for the Mount Royal Hotel and later for the Windsor Hotel. For some years he was on the staff of the General Hospital and six months ago received the coveted recognition of appointment to the staff of the Royal Victoria Hospital. Dr Johnson leaves his parents and three sisters, Mrs Grant W. Dunlop and Misses Isobel and Margaret of Almonte. A service will be held in Wray's undertaking parlours, University street, Montreal, at 4 p.m. Friday, and the body will be brought to Almonte that night on board the train that arrives her at 10.33. The funeral will be held from the family residence, Queen street, on Sunday afternoon, at 2.30 o'clock to the Auld Kirk Cemetery. There will be a service at the house half an hour earlier. The sympathy of a large circle of friends in Almonte and district goes out to the bereaved parents and sisters.
