ROBERT BENJAMIN BOYETT 

   On Saturday, April 14, 1900, at 8:50 o’clock A.M., Mr. Robert B. Boyett, 
who had been sick for ten days with pneumonia, died at his home, on Poplar 
Avenue.  The deceased was fifty six years of age, and had been a consistent 
member of the Christian church since a very young man.  About five years ago 
he removed to Suffolk with his family, and joined the church here.  On several 
occasions before his death he expressed his readiness and willingness to go, 
and prayed the Lord to take him away.  Mr. Boyett was an industrious, 
conscientious man, faithful and just in all his dealings, and his death is 
regretted by all who knew him.  He leaves a wife, eight children and a large 
number of relatives and friends to mourn their loss.

   Mr. Boyett’s funeral took place at the Christian church on Sunday 
afternoon, Rev. W.W. Staley, D.D., officiating, and the interment was in Cedar 
Hill Cemetery, the following gentlemen acting as pallbearers: S.S. Walton, 
C.W. Shackelford, Q.R. Bailey, W.T. Raby, Abner Stallings.
