      Mr Boggess had been in failing health the last eight years, the contributing
cause being a injury received in a motor car accident which occurred as he and his
brother, Samuel C Boggess and their cousin Mrs Robert Kyle, were en route to

The car in which they were riding overturned. The last three weeks Mr Boggess'
condition had been more serious and he had been bedfast since last Tuesday. 

      Born February 3, 1879, in Bristol, W Va, Mr Boggess lived there until he was
about 10 years old when his mother, Mrs Samuel Boggess, and her sons, Samuel C,
Thomas and Hale, came to Carthage. 

      Mr Boggess was one of the early day carriers for the Carthage Evening Press,
making his deliveries, as did other boys of that period, on horseback. Soon after he
finished his high school course Mr Boggess obtained a position as bookkeeper at the
Central National bank and was employed there 37 years, working up to position of
cashier and then president. He served as head of the bank about eight years. He
retired,1933. 

      Mr Boggess served a term as president of the Chamber of Commerce about 20
years ago. He was also a former member of the Carthage Rotary club. 

      He was married October 4, 1898, in Carthage to Miss Sadie Casey, who survives.
Mrs Boggess has been ill since the later part of June 1941. 

      Surviving Mr Boggess are his wife; a daughter, Mrs Earl Overby of the home;
and a brother Samuel C Boggess of Carthage. The brother, the Rev Thomas H Boggess,
died about eight years ago [1938]. 

      Hale was a member of the First Methodist church. 

      Funeral services will be held at 4:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the Knell
service home. Rev H R Runion, pastor of the Methodist church, will be in charge,
assisted by the Rev Dr W G Clinton. Burial will be in Park cemetery.
