CORRECTION
William H. Johnson, 61, of 1621 Ontario street, who died Saturday, resided at the home of Mrs. Melita Daugherty. It was erroneously reported in Saturday's Niles Daily Star that Mrs. Daugherty was Johnson's daughter and that she was his only survivor. She is not his daughter nor does he have any survivors.
