October  29 1897 Grayson gazette
In Memory: Sad is the hour we stand around the dying bed of our loved ones. On the
18th of 
September, with the weeping family and other loved ones I stood around the dying bed
of Uncle 
Perry Bozarth, of near Stones Chapel, and saw him breathe his last. When death had
done its work 
we closed his sightless eyes, and while we pen these few lines in memory of Uncle
Perry, as we 
always called him, he sleeps the silent sleep of death. He was born February 6,
1821, making him 
76 years, seven months and nine days old when he died. He was first married to Eliza
Brooks and to 
them was born 10 children, eight of whom are living, four boys and four girls. His
second marriage 
was to Artie M. Duggins and to them was born four children, one is still living. His
son James is a 
minister in the Presbyterian church, his youngest son is a minister in the old
regular Baptist church. 
In early life he professed faith in Christ and joined the Baptist church and lived a
Christian life, and 
was always ready to give a reason to the hope he had in Christ. He is the last one
of the old set of 
Bozarths, his brother, Hig, dying two years ago and his brother, Isaiah, a few
months since. They 
have crossed that dark river that we must be crossing some day and meet many loved
ones on the 
banks of sweet deliverance where death can never go. O, what a sweet thought that
God has 
prepared an eternal home for all who will love and obey him in this world. Uncle
Perry was afflicted 
for many years and not able to do anything, but his afflictions are over and his
release has come. He 
was a kind companion and a loving father; he leaves a wife and nine children and a
host of friends to 
mourn for him. The bereaved family have our deepest sympathy and earnest prayers. W.
G. Stone.
