          Funeral services for the late  John M. Boals, eighty-nine years old, who died at this home in Brandywine township, near the Herring Mill, Sunday morning, were held at the Center M. E. church this afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, the Rev. W. E. Burkher officiating.  The pal-bearers were as follows:  George W. Holmes,  George Huff,  Charles R. Ray,  Gus Thomas,  and  Elmer Herring.  The burial was made in the church cemetery in charge of Charles M. Ewing  funeral director.
          Mr. Boals was one of Shelby county's "grand old men" and his death is the cause of much sadness through the community in which he resided.  He had always followed the occupation of farming until a few years ago, when he retired on account of his advanced age.  His many deeds of kindess, which he had rendered during his life, will always linger in the memory of those who knew him.
