JIM T. BOYT As the evening shades appeared on April 14th 1925, the Death angel came unto our home and bore away the spirit of our Dear father. Two months have passed since that time and we miss him more each day. He was born Oct. 10th 1859 and lived all his life in Upson County, Making his stay on earth about 65 years, 6 months and four days. He was afflicted a little over two years and was in bed only one week. He never complained during that time, just lay and slept his life away. Thou hast gone but we always cherish the memory. He leaves a heart broken wife and five children, four sons and one daughter, one brother and eight sisters to mourn his departure. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. W. Childs. His body was laid to rest in Bethlehem Church Cemetery there to await the coming of the resurrection morning. May the good Lord help us to so live that someday we meet our loved ones in "Peace" there to spend eternity in Love and Happiness.
