FRANKLIN BOWDEN6 BOATRIGHT (FRANCIS ALEXANDER5, WILLIAM4 VON BOATWRIGHT, BENONI (BENJAMINE)3 BOATWRIGHT, JAMES2, JAMES BOATWRIGHT1 (ALLEN))278 was born December 10, 1873 in Van Buren , Arkansas/Van Buren, Crawford Co., AR, and died October 25, 1935 in Van Buren, Arkansas. He married ALTA CRAWFORD March 10, 1895 in Van Buren , Arkansas, daughter of WILLIAM CRAWFORD and ROWENA MITCHELL. She was born February 17, 1870 in Arkansas, and died June 02, 1926 in Van Buren , Arkansas. Notes for FRANKLIN BOWDEN BOATRIGHT: In October, 1997, in a letter to her grandson, David Cary Rains, Verna Rowena Boatright Milstead writes, "Franklin Bowden Boatright, the second son of Francis Alexander Boatright and Elizabeth Ann Frances Dannells (sometimes spelled Daniels) married Alta Crawford........March 10, 1895, in Crawford County, (Van Buren), Arkansas. The first three years of their married life were spent on a farm near Oak Grove, east of Van Buren. They left the farm and moved to Van Buren where, in 1901, he was employed by the Iron Mountain Railway Co., first as a fireman, then as a locomotive engineer. (The Iron Mountain later became the Missouri Pacific) He worked for the Missouri Pacific until 1930 when he retired on disability as a result of a stroke. He died on October 25, 1935, at the age of 61. Before my father's stroke, he was very interested and active in the Masonic order and was a member of the Van Buren Blue Lodge No. 6, Western Arkansas Consistory(Scottish Rite), DeMolay, and the Royal Arch. I think it is interesting that my grandfather (Francis Alexander Boatright), my father (Franklin Bowden Boatright), my husband (James Gilispie Milstead), and my son-in-law (David Cleveland Rains) were all members of the Van Buren Masonic Lodge. My grandfather's membership certificate is dated 1877. I have the original certificate and a copy is in my history album. Personally, my father was a very kind, soft-spoken, mild mannered man. He had no hobbies--lived a very simple life--devoted to his family."
