Just at this juncture, while writing
of the death of Rev. Boring, a message !
comes to us from the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. E. Thomas, son-in-law and
daughter of the deceased, at Spar, |
of the death of Mrs. Boring which oc-
cured at eight o'clock last night. Mrs. |
Boring was able to attend the funeral /
of her husband at Anthony ten days I
ago but has been growing worse and
worse ever since, the end coming last /
night. Mrs. Boring was surrounded by
all her large family and |
children and grandchildren in her last
hours.
Her remains will be inferred by
that of her late husband at Anthony i
this afternoon at three o'clock. There |
was no sweeter Christian spirit ever
embodyed in humanity than Mrs. I. w. |
Boring. The memory of her life will
ever be chrished in brightness and
friends.
The motor passenger service In
augurated by the management of the !
Ocklawaha Valley Railway between
Ocala and Palatka is proving more
and more popular in this section.
Many of our people take advantage .nf
the good schedule to run down to
Ocala in the morning, attend to errands
and return to their homes along the
route in the afternoon. We hope it |
will meet with favor and patronage
sufficient to make it absolutely per-
manent.
