  Notes	In Memoriam Miles Board was born June 5, 1833, near the mouth of what is now know as Board Run, Jackson county, lived all of his life on his farm on Frozen Camp and there yielded his spirit to the God who gave it May 20, 1922, age 77 year, 11 months and 15 days. He was one of the pioneer settlers of Jackson county and always received the greatest confidence and respect from the people at large, having served them as Justice of the Peace and one term as Federal Grandjuror; but his personal loss will be felt more particularly by his family and enighbors, whose counsel and kind acts will linger in their recollection long after his looks will be forgotten and whose influece will live forever. Morally, father Board was always in the right, never shrinking from duty but alway lending a helping had and willservice, which alwyas reveals a true christian spirit. Early in life he became a member of the Methodist Protestant church, and remained a firm, steadfast believer in Jehovah to the end. No person was ever sent empty handed from his door or refused an accomodation which he by sacraficing could grant. He was a good neighbor, kind husband, and loving father whose home was known to many as a place where they could receive the most kind and courteous treatment and where love and affection was supremem guilding influence in the family circle; owing to the tenderness and meekness of the father and gentleness and loveing kindness of the mother, who preceded him but three years to the land of rest where they are now united never again to be separated To be good and to do good were the two leading object set forth in his life; to develop a perfect character by rendering perfect service and at no time in his life was his true christian character more forecibly revealed than in his last sickness when he refused to complain, faced death not with any dread or fear, but with that unfaltering pure life, approached death like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams. Of his children there now living, E. C. Board, C. H. Board, J. A. Hyre, Mrs. D. M. Walters, of Gay; O. J. Board, of Blakely; Mrs. Frances Smith, of Parkersburg; Mrs Emma Harris of Ravenswood; R. L. McKinley, of Reedy and Mrs. O. J. Argabrite of Peniel.
