Death Angel Claims Mrs. Josephine Boles January 23

During the early hours of Sunday, January 23, when everything was so quiet and
still it seemed that nothing could move without attracting attention the Death
Angel came into the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Boles at Murray Junction and
carried their mother, Mrs. Josephine Boles, the wife of the late T. A. Boles,
Sr., aged sixty-nine years, nine months and twenty-two days, away.  We don't
know just why this has to happen, but then we remember the two great promises
that were ver made to mankind.  Promises that were made by One who is not only
capable of fulfilling, but will fulfill to the fullest extent.  Come unto me
all that are weary and heavily laden and I will give you rest.  Rest from the
trials and heartaches of this world, never to be borne or remembered again.  I
go to prepare a place for you that where I am there Ye may also be.  Will not
only give you rest but a place where you may abide, not alone, but with the
One that gave these unto us.

Mrs. Boles left a message of great cheer and comfort to her relatives and
friends long before she departed, she said she was going to go away, going to
see and stay with her Jesus.  No greater message could have been left by her
to her relatives, composed of seven children, A. H. Boles, Crowille; C. L.
Boles, Sikes; H. S. Boles, Winnfield; T. A. Boles, Quitman; Mrs. W. G.
McCarty, Sikes; Mrs. T. F. Adams, Sikes; Mrs. G. M. Womack, Quitman; forty-one
grandchildren and five great grandchildren.  Also, a great host of friends. 
In their hour of grief the families surviving want to thank their many friends
who stood by them so loyally, also, Dr. S. M. Brian, who worked so faithfully. 
Burial was at Hurricane Grove Cemetery near Sikes under the direction of
Edmonds Funeral Home. Contributed.
