JOHNSON--Columbus girl found dead in cabin
An 18-year-old Columbus girl, Mabel June Johnson, was found dead in a cabin at the Parkview Courts in south Columbus shortly after 6 o'clock Monday evening.
County Attorney and Coroner C. Thomas White said the girl apparently died from accidental suffocation. The last time the girl was seen alive was about 10 p.m. Saturday.
Her body was discovered by a sister-in-law, Mrs. Virgil Johnson, who lives in a trailer house nearby. Miss Johnson had moved from the home of her sister-in-law to the cabins on Friday, after she received word that her mother Mrs. Stella Johnson of Sioux City, Ia., was returning to Columbus to live with her. She and her mother had previously lived at Wagner's Lake.
The girl was found lying in bed and White said that a stove pipe, clogged with soot, was apparently the cause of the suffocation. The fire in the stove was still burning but the windows and doors were closed tight accounting for the lack of oxygen. The stove had not been turned up exceptionally high but the room temperature was well over 100 degrees when the body was found.
The city police, Sheriff Herman Christensen and White investigated the incident.
Miss Johnson, an employee of Becton, Dickinson and company, was a former Columbus high school student. She had lived in Columbus since 1954.
