  Clearfield Progress      2/26/1915
Capt. J. J. Boxley     Clearfield Weekly Progress, Pgs. 1 & 4     
 
The many Clearfield friends of Captain J. J. Boxley, who built the Foulton and 
Deer creek tunnel in 1904, will be grieved to learn of his death in Virginia, 
on Sunday last.  Mr. Boxley was well known in Clearfield, and had a host of 
friends. The following is from the Roanoke Times of February 23:  J. J. Boxley, 
of Trevillians, Louisa county, sixty-nine years old, a member of the 
contracting firm of J. J. Boxley & Son, of this city, succumbed to heart 
failure in his home, at Trevillians, Sunday night at 10:30 o'clock.  Mr. Boxley 
had not been ill, but had been advised by physicians recently, that he was 
suffering with enlargement of the heart.  He had retired last night and a short 
while afterwards, members of his family heard him fall. They went to his room 
and found Mr. Boxley dead.  Mr. Boxley was born in Louisa county, and when a 
young man entered the Confederate army and served throughout the war. He came 
to Roanoke a number of years ago and engaged in the contracting business, and 
maintained his office here, but continued to live in Louisa.  He is survived by 
seven daughters and three sons. One of his sons, R. F. Boxley lives in Roanoke, 
as does one of his daughters, Mrs. Stone, of Crystal Springs.  He also leaves 
two brothers and three sisters.  They are:  C. A. Boxley, of Gate City, and W. 
W. Boxley, of Roanoke; Mrs. WS. H. Duerson, of Spottsylvania county; Mrs. A. M. 
Goodwin and Mrs. Therit Towles, of H. Clifton Forge.  Mr. Boxley's son and 
daughter and W. W. Boxley, leave this afternoon for Trevillians, where the 
funeral will be conducted tomorrow.
