Newnan Herald Advertiser Jul 22, 1910
Death of Hon. G. A. Boynton

Hon. G. A. Boynton died Sunday morning at his home near Handy.  The 
announcement was heard with deep regret in Newnan, where he was very popular, 
and expressions of sorrow were heard on every hand.  He had been in failing 
health or several weeks, and on Friday night was stricken with paralysis.  He 
lingered until 7 o’clock Sunday morning, when death mercifully ended his 
sufferings.

Mr. Boynton was one of Coweta’s best citizens, and held in high esteem by 
everyone.  For six years prior to his death he served as a member of the Board 
of County Commissioners, and had just been nominated for another term.  He 
made a splendid official, giving the same careful attention to the county’s 
business that he gave to his private affairs, and enjoyed not only the full 
confidence of his colleagues on the board, but their high personal regard as 
well.  He was 51 years of age at the time of his death and is survived by his 
wife and six daughters.

The funeral took place at Elim church Monday morning, services being conducted 
by his pastor, Rev. F. J. Amis.  A large concourse assembled, the church being 
unable to hold the people.


Additional Comments:
Mr. Gaines Augustus Boynton was the husband of Nancy Alah Herndon, daughter of 
Preston Anderson Horn Herndon and Ann Jones Amis Herndon.
