    The Big Sandy News Louisa, Kentucky June 20, 1913, Image 1 THREE ANSWER FINAL CALL Capt. Botner, Mrs. Asberry Waller and Mrs. James Rice Pass Away Capt. O.D. Botner. About seven o'clock on the evening of Saturday, June 14th, Captain O.D. Botner, one of the oldest and best known citizens of Lawrence co., died peacefully at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. Mathew Elam, of this city. He had attained the ripe age of 93 years, 6 months, and 11 days, and up to within the last year or two he had been vigorous in brain and body. On the following Monday afternoon, a large number assembled at the home, where funeral services were held, conducted by Rev. J. W. Crites, Olus Hamilton and S. F. Reynolds. At their close interment was made in the Fulkerson cemetery. Capt. Botner is survived by four children - Mrs. Melia Wellman, of South Dakota, Mrs. Amanda David, of Illinois, Mrs. Milt Swetnam, of Wilbur, and Mrs. Matt Elam, of this city. Mrs. Wellman and Mrs. David were unable to be present at the funeral. Mrs. Lee Garred, a granddaughter, and her husband, and Mrs. Malcolm Burgess, another granddaughter, and Mr. Oliver Elam, a grandson, and wife, of Ashland were also present. Mrs. Swetnam arrived as soon as possible after being informed of the death of her aged father, and was accompanied by her daughter, Miss Ethel. Capt. Botner was born in Pittsylvania county, VA., and came to this State when quite young. His first wife was Mrs. Jane Burgess, by whom all his children were born. His second wife was Miss Nannie Wellman, and from this marriage there was no issue. She died a few years ago, and since her death the deceased was nursed and cared for by his devoted daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Elam. Capt. Botner grew very feeble in his later days, weighted by years and physical infirmity, and it was no easy task to care for him, but he was watched and waited upon till death care as a welcome messenger of relief. The deceased acquired the title of Captain by being made the commanding officer of a company in the 14th Ky. Vol. Infty. Up to a few years ago he was active in the affairs of life. He was a successful farmer and acquired much money and property of various kinds. He was industrious, moral and sober, a man of strong opinions and decided convictions, which he did not hesitate to express when occasion called. He was kindly in manner, genial with those whom he liked, and in his home no man was more hospitable, and his personal integrity was above reproach. Many years ago Capt. Botner joined the Methodist church, but in late years he became a member of the Christian church.
