Funeral plans are not completed. The Carthage Republican Carthage, Illinois Wednesday July 1, 1936 Page 5 Column 2 - ---------------------------- PASSING CHAS. BOSTON, WELL KNOWN FARMER Last Rites Held Here Thursday Afternoon Charles Walker Boston, son of Sarah (Dale) and Reuben J. Boston, was born at the family home southeast of Carthage, in the East Union community, January thirteen, 1862. He lived in this home his entire lifetime of seventy-four years, and on Tuesday, June thirty, he left it for his heavenly home. On June 26, 1884, Mr. Boston was united in marriage with Miss Rowena Yetter. After a happy wedded life of fifty-two years, the faithful, devoted wife is left to mourn the loss of a devoted husband. Mr. and Mrs. Boston were the parents of seven children: May, wife of Dave Kimbrough and Myrna preceded their father in death.

The grandchildren are Raymond White, Mrs. Leola White Shelor, Mrs. Ruth Boston Hardesty, Wayne Boston, Glen Dickinson, Robert Frazee and Marjorie, Norma and Geraldine Boston. There is one great grandchild, Kenneth Wayne Shelor. Mr. Boston was very devoted to his family and they to him; he was a quiet, unassuming man, and happiest when at home with his family around him. He was a splendid provider. The Golden Wedding celebration, two years ago, planned by the children and their families, was a most happy gathering of family and friends. On last Friday Mr. and Mrs. Boston ate dinner with their daughter, Mrs. Olaf Dickinson and family in observance of their fifty-second anniversary. The parents of the departed were from Kentucky and are remembered as one of our best pioneer families. Besides the parents, the following brothers and sisters have passed away: Mrs. Jane Lewis, Mrs. Amanda Wright, Mrs. Mahala Austin and Louis, Richard, Sylvester, Henry and Wesley.

When a child Mr. Boston attended school and Sunday school at East Union and has always been interested in the welfare of his community. He was a member of Carthage Baptist church for more than fifty years; he has been true to its teachings, and liberal in its support; he was one of the most generous contributors to the building fund of the present church edifice. He was a successful business man, and honest in all his dealings. His recreation was music and he played several instruments. Loyal to church, to family, friends and neighbors, he will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Short services for relatives and close friends were held at the residence at 2 o'clock, Thursday afternoon preceding the funeral service at the Baptist church at 2:30, Rev. J. W.

Dear HC Seekers: Following are the MOURNING entries from PIONEERS OF THE PRAIRIE, by Wilma BRUNENN, priv.pub. ca. 1985, no copyright. There is much errata in the book. I do not/can not attest to the accuracy of the data. I am merely sharing. Shirley: bobert@panacom.com MOURNING Surname: MOURNING, Archibald - died Mar 31, 1859, age 20. MOURNING, Benjamin - a son of S. and S., died 10 Sep 1863, age 2 years. MOURNING, Felix - b. 23 Nov 1818, in Kentucky; d. 13 July 1895. He was engaged in painting Jim MAJORS barn when he became stricken with paralysis and died in the MAJORS home. His funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. MILLER.

He came home and raised a company of men and returned to the Army with the rank of Capt. of Co. H, 118th IL Inf. He was discharged the second time, Aug 6, 1864.

They were the parents of an adopted son, Willie CARRIER. MOURNING, Joel W. - b. 10 May 1840, in McDONOUGH Co., IL. He died 9 Mar 1917. On 4 Nov 1860, he mar. Elizabeth BARNABY, who was b. 5 June 1843 and she died 26 May 1883. Children: 1 - Ellen MONAGAN 2 - Clara ORTHO 3 - Catherine JEMMERMAN 4 - Esther PREISMAN 5 - L.F.

MOURNING, Mary Ella - died 11 June1860, age. 12 yrs. MOURNING, Nancy - born in Adair Co., KY, 11 Sep, 1815. [she may have been a sister to Felix - just a guess] MOURNING, Samuel - b. 28 Jan 1879; d. 25 Nov 1911. MOURNING, Silas - mar. 16 Mar 1881, to Lucy Jane WILLIAMS who was b. 4 Jan 1860, and died 17 Jun 1893. MOURNING, Dr. William H. - died Nov 1880. He mar. Ada SEGER who was a dau. of Rev. John G. SEGER. MOURNING, W. H. - married Rose Alpha HAWKINS who was b. 1859 and died in 1946 (she is buried in Basco Cemetery). She married (1) Frank CACHEAUX and they had 1 son, Clarence - [my note: he died when he was about 10 years old.] Rose HAWKINS was my Greataunt on my HAWKINS side. I think Frank CACHEAUX was a banker. My note: Frank CACHEAUX died fairly young and then my G-Aunt Rose married Dr. MOURNING. They had 3 girls: 1 - Edna 2 - Nellie 3 - Effie [ My note: Dr. MOURNING died and is buried in Colorado. think he went out there for his lungs - don't know if he had TB or what; many people did go to Colorado at that time for lung/chest problems. After Dr. MOURNING died, my G-Aunt Rose never married again. She was a widow for many years and their daughters were very young when Dr. MOURNING died.] MOURNING, Mrs. W. H. (Addie) - b. 7 Jan 1861; d. Sep 1915. - ----------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: I think Felix MOURNING was the 'father or perhaps uncle' of all the other MOURNINGs in Hancock Co. He seems to have been the 1st of his family to move up into Hancock Co. from KY - others followed him, I think is what happened, as it does in many of the 'pioneer' families. Capt. Felix MOURNING and the men of the 118th IL Infantry were at the Battle of Vicksburg (Mississippi). Their names - along with all the other Illinois units who were at Vicksburg - are on the State of Illinois plagues inside the Illinois Memorial at the Vicksburg Battlefield. I believe Illinois had the most soldiers at Vicksburg - the Illinois Memorial there is the largest Memorial Building and is very much like a Greek domed temple on a very high hill - many 'open' steps to climb - no handrailings. There is a Battle of Vicksburg website and it shows the Illinois Memorial. The memorial is not handicap-available and the steps are really steep. I emailed the Illinois governor after our visit - got some shallow response from his office assistant, telling me that the State of Illinois was not responsible, and that now the National Park Service 'ran' the Battlefield site and are responsible for all the memorials, etc. The memorial building was paid for by public donations from the people of Illinois. So far as I know there are no MOURNINGs alive and well in Hancock Co.
