Lunceford Boswell Claimed By Death
              ________________

   On December 6th at 4 a. m. Mr. Lunceford Boswell, an esteemed citizen- 
farmer of the Penfield community, died after many years of semi-invalidism. 
Mr. Boswell had been in failing health for the last 16 years and had been 
quite feeble for the last ten. Though a great sufferer and prevented by his 
illness from taking an active part in the life of his community, yet he bore 
his physical limitations with uncomplaining fortitude and sweetness of spirit. 
He was a man of strong religious convictions and deep faith and for many years 
was an active worker in the Presbyterian Church of Penfield. Like Enoch of 
old, he walked and talked with God and then suddenly, without warning, he was 
not for God took him.

   The funeral was held in the Presbyterian Church of Penfield at 3 o'clock on 
December 9th, and he was laid to rest in the historic cemetery just out side 
the village. A large number of friends gathered to pay honor to a truly great 
man and a very successful Christian. All of Mr. Boswell's immediate family 
were present at the funeral save one sister, Mrs. Emmie Colclough of Penfield, 
who was kept at home by ill health. The funeral services were in charge of 
Rev. L. T. Newland, pastor of the Penfield Presbyterian Church.

   Mr. Lunceford Boswell was 65 years old at the time of his death and is 
survived by his wife, Mrs. Lunceford Boswell, and the following children, Mrs. 
Roy A. Roberson, of Atlanta, Mrs. Dave Conger, of Penfield, Mrs. E.D. Lindsey 
of Greensboro, Mrs. C. J. Hulsey of Atlanta, Mrs. Duncan Caldwell of Atlanta, 
Miss Annette Boswell of Atlanta, Miss Billie Boswell of Greensboro; also the 
following sons, Roger Boswell of Miami, Fla., Calvin Boswell, of Cordele, Ga, 
Johnsey Boswell, Greensboro, Paul Boswell of Greensboro. Beside the immediate 
family there are two surviving sisters, Mrs. Emmie Colclough and Miss Ella 
Boswell of Penfield and one brother, Mr. R. B. Boswell of Atlanta. Added to 
these are twelve living grandchildren.
   "We asked for health: and faith can 
      almost see
   His radiant face, his movements
      swift and strong;
   With every power quickened, joy-
      ously
   His soul is breathing song."
