Boley enlisted in the Sea Bees July 16, 1942 and served overseas eighteen months. The following is a paragraph taken from a letter received, by Mr. and Mrs. Kirbey Boley soon after their sons death: Mitchel was buried in an Army and Navy cemetery on Guam. I conducted a brief service at that time. The following Sundav we held a Memorial Service at which a large part of the Battalion including our officer in charge turned out. At my suggestion one of your son's friends gathered flowers and made quite a beautiful wreath which we placed upon the grave before the service. We sang 'Abide with Me' and 'Jesus Lover of my Soul' and read 23 Psalm and part of the fourteenth chapter of John and passages which have been of comfort to you as they were to us. I made mention In the service of the fine name your son's mates gave him in the Battalion. Sam H. Franklin, Jr. (Chaplin). Besides the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Kirbey Boley, Bridgeport, Mitchel is survived by the following brothers and sisters: Geneva, Josephine, and J. P. of Bridgeport, Mrs. Elizabeth Townsend, Newport, route 2, Mrs. Arola Jackson, Parrottsville, Mrs. Arlena Bugg, Bridgeport, and Leonard Boley with the U. S. Army, stationed in Kearney, Neb. Funeral services will be held Wednesday 2 P. M. from Manning's Chapel with Rev. E. J. Burgin officiating. Interment in the Baltimore cemetery. The American Legion Post 41 will have charge of military services at the grave. Find A Grave contributor Tammie Gunter* informs me that the article printed in the Newport Plain Talk & Tribune is apparently in error. While checking cemeteries in Cocke County she found no 'Baltimore Cemetery' She did find a Michael (sp) Boley born Sept. 14, 1920 died Aug 23, 1944 with a military marker TN CMRC USNR WWII in the Faubion Cemetery. She also found his listing in a military book for interments in Cocke County and found him as Mitchell, listing his death as 23 August instead of the 3 August cited in the Tribune obituary. He is buried in Faubion Cemetery along with his parents. Thank you, Tammie
