Pathetic reunion near deathbed brings long separated Johnston clan
Mar Asie M Johnston lay near death in Waynesboro last week as eight children gathered to comfort her and meet kin they had not always known. The Johnston family spans Iowa Falls and Waynesboro with ties to the Sherron and Sharpe lines. Less than familial familiarity faded, renewed greetings and a poignant homecoming marked by illness at age 75 and a long Westward drift of generations.
