JORNSON LED HALL OF FAME
Served as Ambassador to Italy During Wilson Administration.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15 (U. P).— Funeral services will be held Sunday for Robert Underwood Johnson, 84, poet, editor, director of the Hall of Fame at New York University and former Ambassador to Italy, who died at his home yesterday after a long iilness.
Mr. Johnson, frequently called the unofficial poet laureate of the United States — many of his odes and sonnets were written spontaneously in honor of some outstanding personage, to praise an outstanding achievement—wrote his last poem three weeks ago, “Muir at Yosemite,” dedicated to John Muir, co-founder with him of the movement which resulted in the creation of Yosemite National Park.
The genial, white-bearded poet | was born in Washington Jan. 12, | 1853, on that part of Capitol Hill now occupied by the House of Representatives Office Building. He spent his boyhood at Centerville, Ind., and was graduated from Xarlham College. In 1876 he married | Miss Katharine McMahon of Washington, who died Dec. 31, 1924. Their son, Owen Johnson, is the author of “Stover at Yale” and many other books. Edited Century Magazine
As editor of Century Magazine, Mr. Johnson became an intimate friend of Gen. U. S. Grant, Mark Twain, Thomas Nelson Page, Joel | Chandler Harris, Helen Hunt Jack- | son and Richard Watson Gilder. President Wilson appointed him ambassador to Italy in 1920. He remained in Rome until July, 1921. Mr. Johnson was one of the founders of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, displayed great activity as director of the Hall of Fame at New York University and
was one of the leading spirits in the fight for an international copyright | law { Besides the son, he is survived | by a daughter, Mrs. Frank H. Hol- | den of New York, who was at his | bedside when he died; a brother, | Henry Underwood Johnson of Rich- | mond, Ind.; six grandchildren and | four great-grandchildren. Burial | will be at Stockbridge, Mass.
