  Mrs. Maxie Herrington Bozeman of Belmont died May 20, at the
East Jefferson Hospital in Metairie, after an extended illness.

  Funeral services were held Friday, May 21, at 3 p.m., in the
Pleasant Hill Methodist Church, with the Rev. George Ross of the
First Methodist Church of New Orleans officiating. Interment was
in the Spring Ridge Cemetery.

  She is survived by her children, Robert Ray Bozeman of Belmont,
Dr. James Richard Bozeman of Lafayette, Martha Elizabeth Bozeman
of Metairie, and Mary Catherine Bozeman of New York City; and
eight grandchildren.

  Pallbearers were Fred Bozeman, Jack L. Stewart, George Cloud,
and her grandsons, Robert Raines, Lloyd Bozeman, and Richard
Bozeman.

  Born August 23, 1899, she was the oldest child of Birdie and
Joshua Herrington, and was a graduate of Mary Hardin Baylor
College for Women in Belton, Tex.

  In 1921, she married the Rev. Robert Armstrong Bozeman, and at
his death in 1942, she returned to their farm in Sabine Parish
near Belmont, where, single handedly, she raised and educated
their four children. She taught in the public schools of Sabine
Parish from 1940 until her retirement.

  In the Rev. Ross' tribute to her, he spoke of her great dignity,
her warm, generous honest nature, her capacity to enjoy life, and
her fighting spirit. He extended condolences from the Bishop of
the Methodist Church, and the Board of Elders, and went on to
praise her sacrifice and deep devotion to her children, and the
legacy of love that she leaves behind her.

  A memorial service was held for Mrs. Bozeman at the First
Methodist Church in Shreveport on Tuesday, June 1, at 3:15 p.m.
