Mrs. Isaac Boatman's Death
The Unfortunate Result of a Most Unhappy Accident
Mrs. Frances Bradbury Boatman, wife of Mr. Isaac Boatman, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Dr. Jas. Johnston on Cedar Street in this city at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening, December 12, 1899, in her 56th year.
The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. W. J. Fulton at the Baptist Church at Cheshire, Thursday at one o'clock p.m., the interment following at Gravel Hill Cemetery by Hayward & Son.
The pall bearers for the sad event will be Messrs. Melvin Boice, Jonathan Rupe, M.C. Boice, S.F. Coughenour, Alex Scott and John C. Price. If the weather permits the funeral cortege will leave Dr. Johnson's residence in carriages at 11 a.m. Thursday, If not all will go up by train.
The particulars which led up to Mrs. Boatman's death have been given and are familiar to our readers. It is sufficient to say that her son, Harlow, merchant at Proctorville, was going down to purchase holiday stock for his store, and thinking it would be a nice time for his mother to go down and visit her son Attorney R.J. Mauck, who had recently formed a law partnership there wrote to his mother to that effect. Mrs. Boatman accepted the invitation and she was to have started the 29th or 30th of November, and meet Harlow at Proctorsville, for the trip, but she was delayed and left here Saturday, December 2nd she and Harlow taking the new fast flying express on the O.R.R. for the city the next day.
She was the daughter of the late Asa and Electa Bradbury, of Kyger, and a sister of Judge J.P. Bradbury, Hon. H.R. Bradbury, Hon. Wm. Bradbury, Mrs. Dr. James Johnston and Mrs. Samantha Buxton, the last of Arbuckle, W. Va.
She was married first to the late Lewis Mauck in '66 and he died in '83. By him she was the mother of three children who survive her - Harlow, R.J. and Earl W. Mauck.
She was married to Mr. Isaac Boatman September 3, 1889, and became a step-mother to Mr. Boatman's children by a former marriage - A.E. Boatman, Mrs. Dr. J.B. Johnston and Mr. John Boatman. To these she was a true mother and was dearly loved by them as she was by her own children and all speak of her in the most affectionate and endearing terms. It is said that two more congenial families were never brought together. Possessed of ample means, the double family grew up well educated, loving and kind, and an honor to both herself and husband who were greatly attached and devoted to each other.
Mr. Boatman is not in good health and has been taking treatment in the city and timed his last visit to meet her here on her return and accompany her to their happy home at Kyger, which is now broken up by that ruthless and merciless visitor whose cruel hand no power can stay.
Mrs. Boatman was a handsome, attractive lady, amiable and lovable and the rose and the evergreen will rest upon her tomb.
