The( home has long been one of the out-, standing landmarks of Brevard, with, its tall hemlocks, its towering pines, its mighty wieeping-willow its or-, chard of big apple trees and oi; young and new-types showing how the owner never rested on his laurels. The place is a blaze of flowering beauty in the spring and summer,' and the first blossoms were peeping forth as the master was borne tO( his rest. Captain Boswell was foremost | among those bold railway pioneers who braved the' grades and the| curves of the mountains in the task, of linking them up with the world. To him and his companions millions of tourists must owe a debt forever,, even if the plane and the car everj should replace the locomotive. He, remarked himself that these other means of transportation were just! step-children of the railway; decent ly reared by their fosterparent. He. built the Transylvania Railroad; and was Superintendent of the Mur-| phy Division of the Southern. He was intensely loyal to the Southern. Railway, and it was one of the, joys of his latter years when the. stock of that system rose in the. market and its affairs began to pros per after their long fight with ad versity. nuiii ui ijuuru bimi sition, Captain Boswell was still a, splendid raconteur, and his anccj dotes drawn from his long life in j many parts of the country, kept hist eimpany entertained as long as he| could he prevailed upon to narrate! them. He was staunchly conserva-, tive amid the storm- of contra'.'1 vsy j in matters political, but ho was also! equally strongly progressive wh:n, he saw the need of it, and ht led J the fight in his session in the famo’.i--j Aycock campaign. Among his last I contrbiutions to the promotion of the| wellbeing of the French Broad yai-. ley was his advocacy of the building j if dams . n the tributaries of the Fr.nch Broad, to help in the de velopment of the valley rather than the creation of a vast reBeryoir which would destroy the beautiful cc untry he had done so much to link up with the world. He was also: gifted with fine literary taste and his library abounded with the great books known as standard the world over. He was of a scientific turn cv mind and was a min of informa tion about the fauna, flova, and the j minerals of this region. j Captain Boswell leaves his daugh-i ter. Miss Martha Boswell, for some years a teacher of English in the; High Schools of the county, and a; b <t of relatives and connections,| to cherish the memory of a noble lit ' and to carry on the tradition of j a Christian gentleman, ‘‘sails peui et sans reproc’ne.” S.
