Passed Away Yesterday - Interment Will Be at Seale This Morning
A telegram was received in the city yesterday stating that Mr. James W. Boykin, whose critical illness was noted in The Enquirer-Sun Tuesday morning, had passed away yesterday morning, and that his remains would be interred in the cemetery at Seale this morning at 11:30 o'clock.
The deceased was well-known in Columbus, having resided in or near this community all his life, and he has many friends here who will learn of his demise with regret. He was about seventy-one years of age.
His grandfather was one of the early residents of this city, having resided at the Cowdery homestead at Rose Hill. The family is one of the old ones of the country, the first Boykin (Edward) having come to America about 1684. He was granted land by the governor of Virginia where he settled. The Boykins were prominent in the early history of the republic, some of them having taken a leading part in the revolutionary war.
Mr. Boykin was three times married. His first wife was Miss Athalia Johnson, of Hamilton. To this union six children, five sons and one daughter, were born. Four of these survive their father. They are Hon. William J. Boykin, of Gadsden, Ala.; Mr. Samuel R. Boykin, of Seale, Ala.; Mr. Luke H. Boykin, of Glennville, Ala., and Mrs. William H. Tucker, of Columbus. One or two sisters and a number of other relatives also survive.
There were no children to the other marriages. His last wife survives him.
Mr. Boykin was a veteran of the Confederate army, having fought gallantly through the war between the states. He was a member of the Baptist church, and was a high toned Christian gentleman. His disposition was most kindly and gentle, having a pleasant word and a cordial greeting for all; he was very generous and of most forgiving spirit. He will be greatly missed by the people of the community among whom he lived.
