MRS. ROSA B. McKINSTRY

   Mrs. W.J. McKinstry, born March 22, 1849, in Northampton County, N.C., died 
March 1, 1922, in the home of Mrs. H.F. Knight.  In spite of the best medical 
attention of her specialist in Richmond and doctors in the community and the 
tender care of her loved ones here, the end came on last Wednesday night, 
March 1.

   She is survived by one son, W.F. McKinstry of Boykins, and five daughters 
as follows: Mrs. H.F. Knight, Boykins; Mrs. B.N. Williams, Pope; Mrs. M.K. 
Edwards, Rocky Mount, N.C. and Mrs. F.H. Cooke and Mrs. E.G. Williams of 
Richmond.  Mrs. Edwards was very ill at the time at her home in Rocky Mount 
and was unable to attend the burial.

   Mrs. Mckinstry lived near Boykins for a number of years and for the past 
few months has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. H.F. Knight, of this 
place, and by her quiet, unassuming sweet manner had won many friends and was 
a most devoted wife and mother.  The many floral tributes were an expressive 
token of the love and esteem in which she was held here.  The burial took 
place in the Boykins cemetery last Thursday afternoon at 3 o’clock, Rev. H.P. 
Dalton officiating.

   The active pallbearers were: W.H. Britt, W. Herbert Britt, J.R. Hines, J.R. 
Person, Fletcher Gray, E.H. Grizzard, T.H. Porter, S.J. Myrick; honorary, Dr. 
J.M. Bland, J.D. Ferguson, F.A. Hines. H.G. Coleman, A. M. Williams.
