BoUGHNER-At 90 minutes after
10 o'clock last Wednesday the soul
of Resale Boughner passed to the
Unknown Land beyond the veil of
human life. Forty seven years of
steadfast reetitude in the earthly
pilgrimage had been hers, as well as
an immaculate purity of life. For
many months she had been suffer
er from an internal ailment of which
fatal result had been foretold, but
as piety had been in her constant
companionship through life and suf-
fering, it made also her death bed
one of glorious, triumphant ease.
The deceased was well known to the
people of Morgantown for her
church loyalty and rare absence
from devotional exercises of any ma
ture until within the past year. She
became member of the NJ +.
church when young. and the perfec-
tion of her ideal of Christian char
acter was her one ambition. She
was the oldest of family whose
members found the close association
with her in the last days acted as
benediction, the effect of the invoca
ton of which will live long. Hers
was more than hope for bright
beyond; 1T was positive conviction,
expressed repeatedly on the sad
evening of her dissolution. A Chris
tian life. Where is the glory, the
honor, that could be added thereto?
The funeral occurred Friday after
noon, and was largely attended by
her friends and religious co workers
Many beautiful floral tributes were
received from those who knew her
well, an offering made by the Ed
worth League, of lilies, chaste and
pure, emblematic of the character Of
the departed, deserving this special
mention, and afterward the remains
were borne to Oak Grove Cemetery,
followed by those whose hearts were
saddened by the loss of one who
loved them, and laid in their last
resting place beneath the tall oaks
which shade the tomb of her father,
the late Dr. J. V. Boughner, who
preceded her in death twelve years.
