BOATRIGHT An acute attack of ingestion Sunday claimed the life of J.C. Boatright, 91 years old, a Cleveland county pioneer and one of the area's oldest persons. Death came at his home, three miles north of Lexington. The aged man came to this county in 1889 and settled near Noble. Later he moved to his present home and has lived there for a number of years. His death was sudden. He arose Sunday morning, apparently feeling as well as usual. He went to church and it was not until after his noon meal that he started complaining. He died between two and three in the afternoon. Funeral arrangements are tentative. They will be held at the Shiloh Methodist church, between Noble and Lexington, and probably will be Tuesday afternoon. Definite time for services will be set upon the arrival of a son, John Boatright, of Mission, Texas. Other survivors include five sons, James, Bill and Wylie Boatright, all of the Lexington community; Sam and Ollie Boatright of Stratford; a daughter, Mrs Bert Owens, at home, and a sister, Mrs Julia Ritchie, in Tennessee. There are numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Burial will be in the Shiloh cemetery. *** posted for genealogical purposes only; no relation*** Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
