Headline:  Tom Boddie Buried in Nolly Cemetery in Jena on Last Friday

Funeral services were held at the Nolly Memorial Methodist Church in Jena on 
last Friday morning for Tom Boddie, 17 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. 
Boddie, of this city.

Young Boddie, a former student in the Jena High School and beloved by all of 
the younger set of Jena, was conveyed to a Shreveport hospital over a week 
ago suffering with acute appendicitis.  Pneumonia set in after the operation 
and his death came at 11 o'clock Wednesday night.  He was a member of the 
Methodist Episcopal Church.

The body was interred in the Nolly Memorial Cemetery under the direction of 
Kinner & Stevens, local undertakers.  Rev. D. F. Anders, his pastor, 
officiated at the church services and at the grave.

Surviving the deceased are his father and mother, three sisters, Mrs. Howard 
Robertson, Marjorie and Cleo Boddie; two brothers, L. C. and Allen Boddie and 
a score of other relatives.
