Emma Patrick Boney - Madison Parish, Louisiana 

From Vicksburg Post, August 1898

TALLULAH - Died, At the family home, Duckport, La., Aug. 4th, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
Mrs. Emma Patrick Boney, wife of James G. Boney, in the 39th year of her age. She was buried
on the afternoon of the 5th, in the Silver Cross cemetery, at Tallulah, La., the Rev. Mr. 
Denson reading the beautiful funeral service of the Methodist Church, of which church she 
has long been a member.
	Born in Danville, Va., daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Laura Patrick, she leaves in her 
childhood home to mourn her loss, a devoted mother, sister and two brothers; and here, in 
the home of her adoption, many friends to sympathize with her husband, son and young 
daughter. Coming to this parish in the first flush of young womanhood a bride, she soon 
won her way to many hearts and was from the time of her marriage up to the very hour of 
her death, a most loving and beloved daughter to her father-in-law Col. G. L. Boney. 
Living in the same household she was his daily and hourly companion and most sympathetic 
councilor and aid. No one will feel her loss more bitterly than he. Suddenly, with no 
warning, death came to her, giving no minutes for preparation; but so well had she 
fulfilled her duties as friend, wife and mother that her loved ones can feel the blessed 
assurance that she has passed from the cares and joys of life to that of that fair realm 
above where God our Father will give to his children the desire of their hearts.
