REV. G B. BOMAN IS TAKEN BY DEATH AFTER LONG ILLNESS

Bowdon, Ga., Sept. 12

General B. Boman was born March 15, 1862 in Cleburne county and died 
September 7, 1935 in the Baptist hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, age 73 years, 
five months and three days.

He spent his early youth in the section in which he was born and joined the 
church while yet a young man. He was married September 14, 1882 to Mary 
Elizabeth Morris. Ten children were born to this union and three of these 
have preceded their father in death. The remaining are Miss Mary Boman of 
Bowdon; Mrs. Pearl Morris of Heflin; Mrs. Pauline Hackney of Cedartown; John 
H. Boman of Atlanta; Owen Boman of Orlando, Fla., Tom Boman of Jackson, 
Miss., and Clyde Boman of Heflin.

His first wife died on August 16, 1929 and on December 25, 1930 he married 
Miss Emmie Howle and she was his faithful companion at the time of his 
death.

He spent his entire life in religious and education work. He preached his 
first sermon at Hurricane Church in Cleburne county, Alabama about 50 years 
ago. He has held pastorates in Polk County, Heflin, Bowdon, Bremen, 
Buchanan, Centralhatchee and many other rural churches. He was County 
Superintendent of Schools in Cleburne county for ten years and spent other 
years teaching.

In addition to the widow and children, he leaves to mourn his passing, 
eleven grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends.

The body of the deceased was carried from the home at noon Monday to the 
auditorium of the Baptist church where it lay in state in the midst of 
beautiful florals sent by loving friends and from numerous organizations he 
had been affiliated with.

The funeral was conducted by Rev. H.P. Bell of Carrollton with Rev. E. 
Dittemore assisting. Invocation was by Rev. Thomason. Brief tributes to the 
life and character of the departed were given by Mr. Jeff Lovvorn of 
Carrollton and Rev. W.H. Barrett, pastor of the First Baptist church, 
Dawson.

The active pallbearers were his sons, J.O., J.H., T.W., Clyde, his nephew 
Rev. W.H. Barrett and Houston Morris.

The church decorating committee and ladies of the Missionary Society 
carrying the large florals, formed an isle from the church door to the 
street through which the funeral cortege passed from the church enroute to 
the cemetery where he was placed beside his wife who had preceded him.

Besides members of his family from out of town, there were members of his 
pastorates at Bethel near Temple, and Shiloh near Cedartown. Friends were 
present from Bremen, Whitesburg, Centralhatchee, Heflin, Anniston, 
Birmingham, Esom Hill, Cedartown, Atlanta and other places. Rev. Boman was 
widely known in Georgia and Alabama where he had served pastorates. He was a 
member of the Masonic order. Bowdon business houses were closed during the 
funeral hour. The Bowdon, Ga. Bulletin
