P. P. Johnson

We regret to record the death of Dr. P. P. Johnson, of Yatton, .after a long and painful illness, borne with much fortitude. Dr. Johnson was 57 years of age, and was educated at Sedbergh, afterwards proceeding to Edinburgh University, where he took his degree in 1877. He practised for over nine years at Littleborough, in Lancashire, and for a short time in Starbotton, Yorkshire, and came to Yatton in 1889. He was a thoroughly good all-round practitioner, and his close attention to his work and absolute forgetfulness of self in his care for the sick under his charge earned for him the confidence and affection of the district in which he practised. Striking evidence of the esteem that he enjoyed was afforded by the very large attendance at his funeral, and the general regret expressed for his loss.
