4/4/1890 - Atlanta Constitution - MR. BOYNTON'S FUNERAL
THE REMAINS OF A GOOD MAN LAID TO REST YESTERDAY.
The funeral of Mr. Charles E. Boynton occurred at Trinity Church at 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
There was not a man in Atlanta better beloved for his honest and liberal charity nor one who enjoyed greater respect for his energy and interfrity in the walks of buriness life. As a consequence, the funeral was largely attended by friends and acquaintances of the man whose life was so full of worth and work.
The services were conducted by Rev. Dr. J. W. ????, General Clement A. Evans and were beautifully and solemnly impressive.
General Evans, a life long ffiend of Mr. Boynton spoke most feelingly of his Christian life and character and how ever since boyhood he had ever proved true to the test.
After the services were over, the pall bearers, Messrs Arthur Robinson, John H. Groves, George Muse, Joseph E. Singer, Fred W. Cole, Fred J. Paxon, H. F. Emory and Dr. Harry Huzza took charge of the remains and with a large escort, chosen from among the leading citizens of the city, conducted them to the tomb.
Mr. Boynton enjoyed the love and esteem of his fellow citizens and his loss is not only a bereavement to his family, but a sad loss to the city.
