Carrie was the daughter of W.O. and Rose Rice Boze. She married Burt Duckworth on April 4, 1920 in Fairfield, Wayne county, Illinois. She grew up and lived in Fairfield all her life.
Obituary - After weeks of suffering Mrs. Burt Duckworth passed away at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Boze, at about 5 o'clock, A. M. on last Thursday morning. While the worst has been feared for some time, the eternal hope that springs up in human hearts kept alive the thought of the possibility of her recovery. Every thing that loving hearts and kindly ministering could do to relieve the suffering was done. With flickering hopes that came and went as the patient's condition changed, the physicians, the near ones and the friends kept up the fight against the dread monster, but all to no purpose, and the end finally came, relieving the dear one from the suffering and pain which has been her portion for such a long time. Mrs. Duckworth was born and reared in this city, and had friends by the score in every walk of life. Her bright, cheery and kindly manner had endeared her to all with whom she came in close contact, and the fact that Carrie Boze-Duckworth has gone, will leave this community a more dreary place in which to live. In every niche in life she played her part to the full, having been a dutiful and kindly daughter, an attentive and affectionate wife, a loving sister, a loyal friend and a devoted worker in the church of her choice, and the memory of her pleasing voice will long remain with those who were so long used to hearing it in the choir of her church. After a brave struggle for life, covering weeks, she went to join the little one for whom she gave her life in vain.
The funeral service was held at the Christian Church on Sunday afternoon, and, in spite of the inclemency of the weather, a vast throng was present to pay their last tribute of love and respect, for the deceased, and to show their sympathy for the bereaved ones. The services was in charge of the pastor. Rev. L. F. Sargent, assisted by Rev. C. E. Morgan, who read the lesson, and Rev. B. S. Kello, who made the opening prayer. Music was rendered by the choir, a duet by Miss Corine Jessop and Mrs. Nell Sprague and a solo by Miss Jessop. Rev. Sargent's remarks were devoted to pointing out the consolation which might come to the bereaved, and were very appropriate and consoling. The floral display was one of the largest ever seen in this city, showing the appreciation in which the deceased was held in the community, and displaying, at the same time, the appreciation of the public toward the members of the family for the many kindnesses shown by them in times of trouble. The members of the Eastern Star and Rebekah Lodges were present in a body, and after the services one of the largest funeral processions ever passing through the city, followed the remains to tlie last resting place in Slocumb cemetery. Among those present from a distance were, Mrs. David Tipton and daughter, Miss Letha, of La Porte, Ind, Mrs. D. C. Day, of Little York, IL, C. B. Rice and Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Rice, of St. Louis, Mo., Mrs. Emil Camp, of East St Louis, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Foster, Miss Luella Rice and Rev. and Mrs. B. S. Kello, of Enneld, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kello, and two sons of Cisne, Mr. and Mrs. J. D.. Reinhard, of Mt. Carmel, Mrs. F. A. Smith, of Howell, Ind., and Mr. and Mrs. Dalty Mason, of Albion. The following is the obituary read by Rev. I. F. Sargent, at the funeral services:
Carrie May Boze, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Roze, was born in Fairfied on the 6th day of March, 1893 and departed this life on the 14th day of April. 1921, at about the hour of 5 o'clock a.m., aged 28 years 1 month and 8 days. She was married on the 4th day of April, 1920, to Mr. Bart Duckworth, and during the short married life developed the characteristics indicating the true devoted wife. She united with the Christian Church of this city when a young girl and all through her lifetime lived faithfully and loyally for her Church and her God. For many years, ever since her girlhood, she filled her place in the choir of her church and the pleasing tones of her clear voice will be sadly missed there. Her long, lingering illness, with all of its accompanying pain and suffering, only the more clearly brought out the patience and gentleness of character with which she was endowed, and the brave struggle she made for life clearly demonstrated her great courage.
The deceased had lived all of her lifetime here, and is probably as well known as any person of her age in the city. She possessed the happy faculty of being able to remember everyone she met, and at no time would she fail to pleasantly speak to all with whom she came in contact. In her school life she formed friendships with all those associated with her, and she valued and retained those friends until the last. To meet her was a pleasure, for it was her way to greet her friends and acquaintances with a smile, and, if the opportunity offered, to say some pleasant word. A marked characteristic of her life was that she was not known to say an unkind thing of anyone, and while she never put it in words, yet her motto seemed to be to say nothing of anyone, unless it was something kind. She leaves behind her a devoted husband, a very tender and loving, father and mother, a loving brother and sister and an unnumbered host of friends.
