The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1889-11-23

residence in this place, ON Tuesday afternoon
last, in the 50th year of his age. Mr.. Bosley' $
health had not been good for several years and
it was evident that his professional and other
duties were wearing heavily upon him. 1t be-
ing apparent that he suffered from some pull
monary trouble he, by the advice of his physi-
clan, went to Denver, Colorado in November,
1888, in the hope that the change of climate
might check the progress of the disease and
possibly restore his health While in that city
cancerous growth made its appearance on the
end of his tongue and this gave him so much
trouble that it had to be operated on several
times He remained in Colorado during the
winter returning here about the LIST of June of
the present year. While he was in good spirits
and apparently satisfied that he had improved,
it was apparent to his family and friends that
his condition was even worse than when he left
home. Soon after his return, by the advice of
his physician, DIR. ]. H. Jarrett, he called i'll
Prof. Latimer, of Baltimore, who again oper-
ated upon the growth ON his tongue, but only
temporary relief was afforded and the disease
progressed steadily and finally, with the pull
monary trouble, caused his death. Although
a great sufferer he bore up heroically, was never
heard to complain and awaited patiently and
with perfect resignation the final summons.
While in Denver he became member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church and died with a
well-grounded hope of blissful immortality
beyond the grave.
Samuel Parker Bosley was born on My Lady S
Manor, Baltimore county, and was a son OF
John Bosley. who died many years ago. His
mother was a Parker, sister of Messrs. Joshua
H.. John and James Parker, of this county.
He was raised on farm and when he grew to
manhood he went to Michigan University and
West Chester, Pa, where he was educated.
Returning to Baltimore county he engaged in
teaching in the public schools and also COM
menced reading law. He was admitted to the
bar iE Towsontown about twenty-five years ago
careful studious and industrious and in time
succeeded in building up an excellent practice
which continued to increase until failing health
compelled him to relinguish it almost entirely
and seek a change of climate i'll the hope of be-
ing benefited.
Mr.. Bosley was a Republican in politics and
took active interest in the affairs of that
party. During the second administration of
President Grant he was chief weigher at the
Port of Baltimore, which was the only office
he ever held. In 1882 he was the nominee for
Associate Judge of the Third Judicial Circuit
on the ticket with Hon. Stevenson Archer. but
was defeated. He had taken no partin politics
since that campaign.
Mr.. Bosley married daughter of Mr.. VIM
Price, farmer of the 8th district, who, with
five children, survive him:
The deceased was a member of TowsOn
Lodge of Odd Fellows, Hebron Lodge, Knights
of Pythias. of Cockeysville, and of the Ancient
Order of United Workmen, and the Royal Ar
cannum
In the Circuit Court on Wednesday, States
Attorney Yellott announced the death Of Mr.
Bosley and spoke in a most feeling manner OF
his life and character as citizen and member
of the bar. He was followed by Messrs r. R
Boarman and William Grason, both of whom
paid glowing tributes to the deceased. Judge
Burke then said:
1.-The Court has learned with profound regret
of the death of Mr.. Bosley. His death was not
unexpected, for it had been known to his friend:
and acQuaintanceS that he had been suffering fol-
long time with disease that must end in his
death. To the Court and to the members of this
Bar his death is truly an event of much sorrow
to the community in which he lived great loss
He was highly respected by all who had the
pleasure of his acquaintance. He was in nc
sense brilliant or able trial lawyer; he had nc
such pretenSionS; but to the members OF his pro
fessiOn and to a large portion of the public nc
was known as a hard student and was recognized
as having acquired an extensive and correct
knowledge of the principle of the law and the
practice of the Courts. He was also known as 9
man of sound and discriminating judgment, and
above all he was known as an eminentIy just and
correct man. These qualities of mind and heart
gained for him the confidence of his fellow-citi,
Zens and brought to him fair share of the legal
business of this Court. The death of such man
is a public loss, and to us, his nelghborS and
friends, an occasion of much sorrow and regret
I fully concur in what has been so well said OF
the deceased and shall order memorial OF these
the Court
