Obituary

From the Signs of the Times:

Mrs. Ella M. Bogart, widow of the late Bro­ther Walter Bogart, was born December 15, 1869; and died April 11, 1955. She was the daughter of Catherine and John Swarthout, of Boiceville, N. Y.; and was twice married, first to Orlando Perry, and then to Walter Bogart. Both husbands preceeded her in death. She leaves the following to mourn her passing: Three daughters by her first marriage: Mrs. Raymond Markle, South Gate, Cal., Mrs. Nel­son B. Huatt, Pleasantville, N. Y., and Mrs. Henry B. Wesley, Norwalk, Conn.; three step­daughters: Mrs. Francis H. May, Bronx, N. Y., Mrs. Ralph Snyder, Kingston, N. Y., and Mrs. A. W. Stevens, Portland, Maine; A step-son: Marshall W. Bogart, Yonkers, N. Y. (one step­son, Chester Bogart, Kingston, N. Y. pre­ceeded her in death); nine grand-children and seven great grand-children; also two sisters: Mrs. Berlin Weeks, Kingston, N. Y., and Mrs. Benjamin Terhune, Poughkeepsie, N. Y.; and two brothers: Herman and Emmet Swarth­out.

She was a life long resident of Shokan, N. Y., except the last few years since Brother Walter's death she made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Nelson Huatt, Pleasantville, N. Y. She was in a boarding house in Kingston at the time of her death. She was a member of the Olive and Hurley Old School Baptist Church, Shokan, N. Y., and was baptized by Eld. George Ruston, December 17, 1916 - at the time of year when the water was frozen, so that the ice had to be cut for her to take the sacred step to be buried in the liquid grave; but that mattered not to her, for she must be buried from the trifling things of this world, and rise again to walk in newness of life because of the love she had for her Lord. Her faith was steadfast to the end. Funeral was held from the Connor Funeral Parlors, Kingston, N. Y. Interment was in Winchell Cemetery, Shokan, N. Y. Funeral was con­ducted by the writer.
