GRANDMA BOGUE PASSES AWAY Sunset and evening star/ And one clear
call for me! And may there be no moaning at the bar, when I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,/ Too full for sound and foam, When
that which drew me from out the boundless deep/ Turns again home.
Permelia Cox was born June 10, 1831, and died at Sloss, Colorado, Jan 13,
at the age of 84 years, 7 months and 3 days.
On June 15, 1848, Permelia Cox and Josiah C. Bogue were united in
marriage at her home in Bloomington, Ind. There were twelve children born to
this union, seven of whom are living. There are 51 grand children, 45 great
grand children and one great-great-grand child. One sister is living in
Lawrence, Kansas.
Mr. and Mrs. Bogue came to Colorado in the fall of 1892, locating in the
vicinity of Basalt. Mr. Bogue died 19 years ago. Since that time Grandma
Bogue has made her home with her children.
Early in life Grandma Bogue joined the Quaker church and was a member of
that church until death. After an illness of two months she passed peacefully
away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. S P Sloss, at Sloss, Colorado.
Just as the sun had gone down and the stars glittered bright, the one clear
call came, and Grandma, brave and true, put to sea. She bore her suffering
patiently and uncomplainingly. All that loving hands could do was done, but
her work was finished and she obeyed the Master's call. Funeral services were held from the M E Church, Basalt, Saturday, Jan. 15,
at 10 o'clock am by Rev Rose who took for his text Rev 2:10: "Be thou faithful
unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." The floral offerings were
beautiful and expressed the esteem in which Grandma Bogue was held.
The body was laid beside her husband in the Basalt cemetery.
Tender sympathies are extended to those who mourn.
