  For the second time within a week death entered the Boyett home and 
claimed Mrs. R. E. Boyett just three days after her beautiful little
granddaughter Bobby Louise Coon had died.  Pneumonia was the cause of
the death of both.  Mrs. Boyett was critically ill when little Bobby
Louise was called to her Heavenly Home.  Mrs. Boyett died Thursday 
afternoon, March 7 and the body was buried in the Junction cemetery
by the side of her little granddaughter late Friday afternoon, Rev.
R. Elmer Dunham, pastor of the Baptist Church officiating.
  Mrs. R. E. Boyett was born in Sabine county on July 22, 1877, and 
spent all her life in Texas.  When 15 years of age she was married to
R. E. Boyett and to this union were born seven children--five daughters
and two sons.  The surviving children are Mrs. L. H. Cordray, Lakeside;
Mrs. Clarence Holbert and Mrs. Jas. Nobles of Beaumont; Mrs. Willie
Coon and Miss Annie Laurie Boyett of Junction; A. P. Boyett, Corpus
Christie; and Ernest Boyett, Austin.  Two sisters, Mrs. Abbie McGown
and Mrs. J. O. Boyett, both of Bronson and about 11 grandchildren and
4 great grandchildren besides many other relatives who also survive.
  She moved to Junction four years ago to be with her son Ernest who
was employed here.  During her residence here she made many close friends.
  Early in life she was converted and united with the Baptist Church.  
She lived a consecrated Christian life.  Her life was a benediction to all
who knew her.  She lived only 57 years but her life was one of service.
It was marked with deeds of kindness and cheer.  She scattered flowers
and sunshine wherever she went.  She loved her home, her children and her
friends and in her homegoing her children have lost a devoted mother,
her neighbors a true and faithful friend, and the community a loyal citizen.
It can be said of her that she was a woman of strong Christian character--
patient, loving and self-sacrificing.
