Notes - Lucy Etta Boatman, nee Sager, daughter of Reuben and Catherine Sager, was born July 22, 1883, and departed this life October 27, 1925, at the age of 42 years, 3 months and 5 days. In infancy she was presented to the Lord in Holy Baptism.
On October 27, 1907, she was united in marriage to Milton L. Boatman. To this union nine children were born, Elsie, Neva, Harry, Mary, Daisy, Bernice, Ralph and little Opal Maxine. One son, Claude, died in infancy.
She leaves to mourn her departure her aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Sager, of Olney; two brothers, John, of Neeleyville, Mo., and Robert, of Olney; also two sisters, Mrs. Phoebe Gerber and Mrs. Clara Roth, of German township, besides a large number of relatives and friends.
Her sickness lasted about two weeks. She bore her sufferings patiently, but all that loving hands could do was of no avail and on Tuesday morning, October 27, the soul of the exhausted sufferer took its flight and she closed her eyes to earthly scenes and entered into her eternal home.
You bade no one a last farewell,
And good-bye to no one.
Your loving heart had ceased to beat,
Before we knew that you were gone.
We never thought that on that day
Our dear mother would be called away;
For all of us you did your best
Until the angels took you home to rest.
In silence you suffered,
With patience you bore,
'Till God called you home
To suffer no more.
Funeral services were held in St. James Lutheran church, near Claremont. Burial in Goss cemetery. Rev. Wm. Boatman, of Murphysboro, 111., conducted the services.
