BOLTON, James Ward 1925 - 1996

In memory of James Ward Bolton of Roscoe, born February 1, 1925, died July 21, 
1996.  James was well known for his fishing and hunting talents.  He built cabins 
down on the river.  He was a fine carpenter and hedge cutter.  He worked for the 
Rock Island Railroad for 11 years.  James was always a kid at heart.  He liked to 
pull pranks all the time.  He loved laughter and the outdoors.  If a neighbor was 
down and out and needed a helping hand, he gave of himself as best he could.  
James was loving and kind at heart.  One of his dreams was to catch a 100-pound 
catfish.  The closest he came to his dream was two 97-1/2 pound catfish.  His 
dream will come true now that he's walked through heaven's door.  Dad passed 
away July 21, 1996, on Kristen's birthday and the day of our family reunion.  He 
is survived by three sons, James Dale Bolton, Rock Springs, Wyoming, Darrell 
Bolton, Springfield, and Les Oliver, Chilhowee; four daughters, Letha Steward, 
Canton, Illinois, Shirley Bolton Pencock, Peoria, Illinois, Brenda Bolton Miller, 
Chilhowee, and Becky Grissom, Savannah; one sister, Anna Lee Smith, Sedalia, and 
15 grandchildren.  Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, July 24, at the 
Consalus Chapel in Chilhowee with Rev. David Mifflin officiating.  Special music 
selections were "The Old Rugged Cross" and "In The Garden".  Pallbearers were 
Jerry Miller, Troy Miller, Travis Miller, Jim Crawford, Robert Ganey and George 
Bruce.  Burial was in the Shiloh Cemetery in Johnson County, under the direction 
of the Consalus Funeral Home of Chilhowee. - James Ward Bolton, 71, ElDorado
