Notes
a. Note:   Nickname was Bose, and people in town called him "Mr. Bose." 1890: P.O. was Ladonia, had 226 acres in cultivation
 He was the General manager of the Jackson McFarland General Merchandise Co. from 1908 to 1924. He became suddenly ill with a "peculiar malady," as the newspaper put it, and had a very rapid decline. From his obituary: "He was reared on the farm, educated in country schools and attended college at Savoy, Texas....It could be said that he was liberal to a fault, for there are uncounted families and individuals who thru-out the years have found their way to his place of business and there from his hands received food and clothing to carry them along without consideration on his part as to the way and manner in which they could reimburse him. He was loved by both white and black, for he was truly a friend to man."
  Information from Attending Physician: Started noticing symptoms on July 1, 1925. Doctors opinion was he died of Lympho Sarcoma, tumors of the stomach, which came on fairly quickly, treated from July 15, 1925 till death. Was confined to house starting Aug. 1, 1925. No autopsy.
