Emily Benway

1996

This year our book is dedicated to a long-time resident of Johnson, Emily Benway.

Emily was born in Eden Mills on December 9, 1906. She lived in Johnson for more than 40 years, during which time she was always a very dedicated member the United Church of Johnson.

Emily was always thinking of others and was always there to lend a helping hand. We especially remember those wonderful home-cooked meals she so thoughtfully prepared for many of us in our times of need.

Emily passed away on November 27, 1995 but she leaves us with many pleasant memories.
