GEORGE W. JOHNSTON

HARLINGEN—George W. Johnston, 46, Harlingen attorney and insurance man, died suddenly en route to the hospital Saturday at 1 p.m. after a throat hemorrhage. He had taken treatments in New York.

Surviving is his wife, Mrs. Corynne Johnston, Harlingen. Funeral services will be held Sunday at 2 p.m. from Stotler Burdette Mortuary here, and body will be forwarded to Houston for burial in the family plot at Forest Park. Services will be conducted by Father of the Harlingen Sacred Heart Church.

Born October 16, 1893 at Lafayette, Ind., Johnston attended Valparaiso University, and later graduated from the law school at Tulane University. He was admitted to the Texas bar about 1915, and practiced law at Houston and La Porte until he came to the Valley about nine years ago.

For the past three years he had not practiced law here, having been forced to retire from that profession because of his throat. He had been connected with Attorney Fred Newland here before going with Cecil Carruth to form the insurance company of Carruth and Johnston. For the past year he had been in the insurance business for himself.
