Agnes A. Johnson, age 92, died August 15, 2008 at Valley Eldercare in Grand Forks.  Agnes Johnson was born January 31, 1916 to Martha and Oscar Adrian of rural Binford.  She attended rural elementary school and graduated from Binford High School.  She went on to Concordia College and received a liberal arts degree.  She taught in North Dakota schools at Antelope, Kingsley Township, Rosendahl, and Mose.  She married Henry Johnson in 1941.  They farmed near Mose for 20 years before moving to Binford, ND.  Agnes was employed at the grocery store and did substitute teaching.

Agnes was always actively involved in her church.  She started a Sunday School at Naaron Lutheran Church in Mose and later was involved in the education  and church women programs at Trinity Lutheran in Binford.  She served the community on the Bryan Township School Board, Trinity Cemetery Board and was active in Senior Citizens.

Her pride and joy, however, was her flower garden and she devoted many hours to keeping it beautiful.
