  WILLIAM T. BOARDMAN - Last Monday evening at the eve of twilight, when the final rays of the departed sun were fading in the eastern distance and the skies donned their starlight mantle to rescue the land from total darkness, a grand and good light on earth flickered, gradually grew dim and was quietly extinguished by the breath of Father Time. At such a period of day's life and in such a beautiful way did Bay St. Louis lose one of its best known, popular and esteemed citizens when at his home Capt. Wm. Boardman fell into eternal slumber.

 

  The news of his demise was a shock to the community and abroad where he was so widely known, notwithstanding that the sorrowful tiding was momentarily expected.  He had been suffering for some time past from Bright's disease and the best of medical skill and attention were naught in staying its disastrous ravages.  Captain Boardman was born in the village of Leonminster, near Boston, Mass.  It was in his New England land where he began acquiring the liberal education he possessed and was a gentleman of uncommon intelligence.  He was a son of the late Captain A. P. Boardman, who commanded steamers between New Orleans and Mobile and also between Montgomery and Mobile, where the subject of this sketch began his steamboat career.  Capt. Boardman, since 1853 has been steamboating on the Mississippi and Red rivers and tributaries and has had built and owned several fine steamers, being one time considerably wealthy, but, like the average man, met with many reverses.  His last klost in business was one amounting to twenty thousand, but not withstanding this, he left his family a lovely and in comfortable circumstances, and his life was well insured.  About five years ago, the      ... was two daughters and one son, the latter preceding his father to the grave.  In addition to his family he leaves two sisters and two brothers.  The Captain, who was 60 years of age looked as youthful as 40, and by his good heart and geniality he made friends with all who delighted to bask in the sunshine of his presence.  A few days previous to his death, he joined the Catholic Church and died comforted by the last sacraments of that faith.  The funeral was one of the largest ever seen in this city, evidencing the esteem in which he was held. The line of carriages extended from Union to Apothecary Streets.

 

  The burial ceremonies were conducted by Rev. Father Leduc and Alphonse and included a high Mass.  The entire interior of the church was draped with the cloth of sorrow, and the four altars illuminated with hundreds of candles.  the interment took place in St. Luke cemetery on Second Street. To the family, The Echo extends sincere condolences.
