J. C. BOATRIGHT DIES SUNDAY AFTERNOON
WEALTHY AGED FARMER DIES SUDDENLY AFTER INDIGESTION ATTACK.
J. C. Boatright, 91 year old '89er and pioneer settler of Cleveland county died at the family home three miles north of Lexington Sunday afternoon following an acute indigestion attack.
Apparently well that morning, he had attended church services in the Shiloh Methodist church where the family had gone to church through many years. At noon he seemed to enjoy his lunch but soon after was stricken and died shortly.
He came from Texas to Cleveland county when Oklahoma Territory was opened and settled on a farm near Noble. He later moved to the farm where he died. He was an industrious farmer and acquired many acres of fine farm land and was reputed to have been one of Cleveland county's wealthiest as well as oldest residents. Only a week before he was stricken he made a division of the $100,000 estate among the 7 surviving children and the widow of a deceased son, Robert.
Services were held Tuesday afternoon at Shiloh Methodist church
by the conducting pastors, Rev. John Abernathy, Methodist Presiding Elder, Oklahoma City, Rev. J. C. Morris, Noble pastor and Rev. Giles, Rush Springs minister.
Interment was made in the Shiloah cemetery where a tombstone already stands bearing a chiseled likeness of Mr. Boatright and that of his deceased wife, Maggie Boatright, who died about eight years ago.
Survivors include a daughter, Mrs. A. C. Owens, who resided on the home place, six sons, Sam and Ollie of Stratford, John of Missions, Texas and James, William and Wiley Boatright, all of Lexington, and a number of grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Pall bearers were Ed Ross, Charles Nemeck, Harvie Holcomb, H. M. Hardwick, A. O. Hudspeth and Jess Hackler.
