Attended the theater with her three daughters and two grandsons, all who perished in the fire.

"Mrs. Johnson was saved by crawling across to the Northwestern University building on a ladder. She is in St. Luke's Hospital, badly burned and scalded, but on the road to recovery. She has not been informed of the death of her children and grandchildren and it is feared that the shock would be too much for her." (Paxton Daily Record)
