Miss Johnson came to Arizona in 1878 and had been in the hotel and restaurant business for over 20 years. At the time of her dealth, she had been planning to rent the property and move to California to be closer to her sisters. She was found deceased in her bed on the morning of January 17, 1900. Although an inquest found death by natural causes, rumors persisted of foul play since approximately $2,000 worth of her jewelry was missing. Her body was shipped to San Francisco for burial.
