The funeral of the late Thomas W. Boardman was held yesterday at the Methodist church, Rev. A. J. Joslin conducting the services. Many friends of the deceased, both from this city and down Sound points were present. Burial took place in Odd Fellows cemetery. Thomas W. Boardman was born in Old Town, Maine, March 26, 1860. At the age of 15 he removed to Michigan where he was employed in the postal service. From there he went to Central and South America where he amassed and lost a fortune and was compelled to return north on account of ill health. He came to the state of Washington several years ago and for a time made his home in Olympia. Recently he had been living in Seattle and working for an electrical company. His wife is a daughter of Rev. Glidden of Bush Prairie. For the many kindnesses and aid of their friends the family wishes to acknowledge their heartfelt appreciation.--Olympia Recorder.
