OBITUARY

Mrs. Boster Dies at Maxwell

Mrs. Sarah Ann Boster died Friday, March 23, at Maxwell, aged fifty-six years, six months and six days, her funeral was conducted Sunday at Maxwell by her pastor, Rev. H. G. Hicks, her three sons and three sons-in-law serving as bearers, and interment was in the Nevada cemetery where lie the remains of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Ingram, her husband, Stephen T. Boster, and other of her kindred.

Sarah Ann Boster was born near Agency, Wapello county, August 18, 1854, and on a farm in that vicinity she grew to womanhood and was married September 7, 1873. In 1878 she and her husband brought their little ones to a farm near Zearing, and Story county was her home thereafter. She became the mother of nine children, two of whom have passed away, namely: Mrs. Josephine Wright at the age of twenty-three and Esau in childhood. The survivors are Mrs. Nancy M. Hull, Mrs. Flora T. Sutherland, Mrs. Sarah A. Maxwell and John S. Boster all of Maxwell; Milton of Nevada, Charles G. of Seattle, Wash., and Clyde L. of Arapahoe, Nebraska. Her one sister is Mrs. Mary Thrasher of Nevada, and her three brothers are Joseph M., Esau A. and Charles B. Ingram who reside in or near Los Angeles, California. Mrs. Boster had purposed visiting her brothers during the coming summer; but ailments from which she had long been a sufferer thwarted the culmination of her plans. Her closing days were at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. J. Sutherland, and were days of peace and of impressive farewells to her dear ones. Her religious connections were with the Methodist church.
