Albert ]. Boardman Dead

Like a clap of thunder from a clear
sky came the news last Friday morn
ing of the death of Albert j. Board
man, at his home in Arcadia, Mo-,
after a brief illness of only two days.
Mr.. Boardman suffered an attack of
influenza last Wednesday, which re-
suited in death Friday morning at
$3.50 A. NJ.
Albert J. Boardman was born in
Warrick County, Indiana, April 9th,
1880. Died at his home in Arcadia,
Mo-, February 18th, 1920, at $3.50 A. M.
When but a boy, Mr.. Boardman's
parents came to Missouri, locating at
Sikeston, where he received his gram
mar school education. In 1897 he
went to Fredericktown Missouri, and
completed his education in high
and college. AT the age of eighteen,
he was employed by the Frederick
town Trust Company, with which he
served until its consolidation with the
Bank of Fredericktown. He was then
elected cashier of the bank of Fred
ericktown and served in that capacity
until April 1, 1912, when he came to
Arcadia and organized the Bank of
Arcadia Valley. He was elected cash
Ter of this institution and served as
such until death.
September 9Th, 1915, he was mar
ried to Jessie Dent Davis of Freder-
icktown. To this union were born two
children, Clara Mae, aged 5, and
Thomas Lesley, aged 5 months.
Those of the immediate family sur
viVing him are the wife and two chill
dren, the father and mother, Thomas
and Sarah Boardman; four sisters,
Mrs. Samuel Irwin, of Bessville, Mo;
Mrs. Mrs. Frederick Holly, of Evans
vile, Ind; Mrs. @. M. Ellis, of Cairo,
ILL.,; Mrs. Jerry Frazer, of Sikeston,
Mo-, and five brothers: Lewis, John,
Charles, Judson and Clarence, all of
Sikeston, Mo. +
The subject has been a Christian
since childhood, having established
his faith under the careful guidance of
a Christian father and mother, the
father being a minister. While at
Fredericktown he was an astute work
er in the NJ. E. Church, South, serving
as q member of the official board.
Upon moving to Arcadia, he trans
ferred his membership here and as
sumed similar responsibilities, being q
member of the board of stewards and
treasurer of the board of trustees.
Mr.. BOardman was one of Arcadia
Valleys most efficient business men
and leaves a record which few attain.
Through the whole of his career as a
banker, which he began at the age of
eighteen, he has been absent from
business only n day on account OF
sickness.
In his departure there is missed a
kind and loving husband and father,
an efficient business man, a good
neighbor and friend, a'Christian gem
tleman, and one of Arcadia Valleys
best citizens. We mourn with the
widow and loved ones in their loss.

IRoNToN, Mo-, Feb'y 18th, 1920.
Iron County Register-The recent
tragic death of Mr.. Monroe Bla ok,
one of Iron County's most valua BILE
and esteemed citizens, at a railroad
crossing in the toWn limits this week.
would suggest the propriety of atown
ordinance restricting the speed of
trains while passing through the
town to a "Safety First' limit. The
testimony before the Coroner reveal
ed that the train which struck Mr..
Black, resulting in his death, was go
ing at the rate of 80 to 40 miles an
hour. No freight train should be
allowed to run through any town the
size of Ironton at such speed, without
a guard at the crossings.
am told by people who live near
the railroad tracks that trains pass
through here every day and night at
a speed of so miles an hour. Such
disregard of public safety should not
be- tolerated. If seems to be the
policy of the Missouri Pacific to get
all they can out of the town at &
minimum service.
