Norfolk Journal and Guide,Jan 12,1929
Mrs. Martha James Boney, 871 Vick street, died at her home Thursday, January 3, 
at 3 a.m. in her 38th year, after a brief illness. Her funeral was held at 
Garrett’s A.M.E. Zion Church Sunday afternoon with the Rev. R. K. D. Garrett 
officiating.

Selecting an appropriate passage from the Book of St. James, Dr. Garrett 
touchingly eulogized the deceased. He pointed out the virtues of living the 
Christian life and its hope of eternal reward with striking clearness. He was at 
great pains to speak consolingly for the bereaved members of the family, and 
closed his sermon by pointing the survivors to the blessed life beyond the 
grave.

Mrs. Boney was the eldest child of Mr. and Mrs. James of 916 Gordon avenue, and 
the sister of Buck, Robert, Floyd, Charlie and Ernest James and Mrs. Lucy James 
Keeling, Geneva James Prescott, the Misses Elnora and Viola James, and the 
sister-in-law Mrs. Lillian James, wife of Buck James, all of whom survive her. 
She is also survived by a husband and four children, and a host of relatives.

Mrs. Boney had been a Christian for a number of years and was highly esteemed in 
her neighborhood.

Her remains were interred in Calvary Cemetery.
