Boasen, John Franklin, 77, of Richland, passed away Saturday May 22, 2004, at Lakeridge Nursing Home in Moses Lake, WA.

He was the youngest of seven. His siblings were Calvin, Margaret, Delma, Faye, Hazel and Ruth. His childhood years were spent in Oxford, Nebraska, with a side trip of a year or so to Fort Collins, Colorado. When he was 12-years-old, the family moved to Rapid City, South Dakota. He graduated from Rapid City High School in 1944. Jack, his parents, and sister Ruth followed sisters Delma, Faye and Hazel to Seattle, Washington, after his graduation. He worked for a time for Boeing Aircraft in Seattle, then returned to Rapid City, and in October 1944 joined the Navy with two school friends. He trained at Camp Faragut in Idaho and Gulf Port, Michigan. He served aboard the Astoria and was on his ship in the harbor in Japan when Peace Treaty papers were signed. After discharge in April 1946, he returned to Rapid City, went to Lead, S.D. and worked in gold mines for a time, then went to business college for one year in Rapid City. He then became an employee of Bell Telephone Company, working on construction crews and then as a cable splicer helper. He spent some months in 1948 and 1949 in Alliance, Nebraska, preparing for going to a dial system. Here he met and began dating Margaret (Peggy) Titus who also was employed with Ma Bell. He proposed in June and on August 28th, 1949, they married and took up married life in Rapid City. In a few months they moved to Belle Fourche, S.D. (Jack was transferred), where on August 1, 1950, their first child Nicola (Nicki) Sue was born. A few months later Jack was transferred back to Rapid City, where he became disenchanted and resigned his job. He took his family to Yakima, Washington. He found telephone work in Richland, Washington with General Electric in 1951 and commuted on weekends. During this time, their son John Charles was born on February 5, 1952, in Yakima. After an 11-month wait in July 1952, Jack was assigned a government 'A' house for his family in Richland. On October 22, 1954, a second daughter, Lenora (Norri) Lyn was born. In February 1956, he resigned his job and moved his family to Redlands, California. There he worked for a telephone company that is now GTE. They stayed close to four years and had a second son, Frank Gilbert, on August 31, 1956. Their third daughter, Robin Lee, was born on June 10, 1959. In October 1959, the family returned to Yakima, Washington where Jack found work with GTE in Kennewick. In six months there was an opening with General Electric in the Telephone Division and in February 1960, the family again took up residence in Richland. Jack retired in November 1988 from GTE with 37 years bridged services time. Jack and Peggy would have been married 55 years in August. Jack had been an elder at West Side United Protestant Church in Richland, and Chairman of the Mission Commission twice. He and Peggy worked three years as high school sponsors with some great teenagers, who are now great adults. Jack loved fishing for all kinds of fish and spent much time in this pursuit. He played basketball and baseball in Belle Fourche, S.D. and basketball and softball in Richland. Jack loved sports, good country music and playing his mouth harp. His sense of humor is one of the great things that will be remembered. He loved to tease. He was a loving father who taught his children well. Jack is survived by his wife, Peggy, his children Nicki Denny, John Boasen, Norri Beckelhymer, Frank Boasen, and Robin Boasen, 12 grandchildren, four great-grand-children, his sister Ruth Bierlein and husband Ted, and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was born in Topeka, Kansas on May 14, 1933, the son of Frazor Titus Edmondson, II and Sally Anderson Edmondson, who moved to Dallas with the Campbell Taggart bakeries where Frazor served in the legal department and ultimately as CEO and Chairman of the Board. Jim grew up in Highland Park attending the Park Cities schools until going to Sewanee Military Academy in Sewanee, Tennessee where he graduated from high school and where he wrestled and played football. He then attended the Virginia Military Institute as a long line of his family had done before him. He graduated from VMI in 1955. Jim attended UT law school for a semester before being called away to Army training where he attained the rank of Captain. Upon his return to Dallas, he entered the insurance business and, after working with the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, established his own firm: Jim Edmondson & Associates. He was a life-long, active member of the Dallas social scene, participating in clubs and events such as the Dervish Club, Calyx Club,the Terpsichorean Club, Idlewild, the Dallas Ski Club, the 200 Club and Who's Who. Jim was a 32nd degree Mason and a member of the Northwood Country Club and Petroleum Club as well as various historical societies, including the Society of the Cincinnati, Sons of the American Revolution, and the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Three interests were his life-long passion: reading history, playing tennis and everything about his alma mater, VMI. He was a proud member of the VMI class of '55, and bled red, white and yellow. Jim was married twice and is survived by his first son, Frazor Titus (Ty) Edmondson, III from his marriage to Carol Gilliland of Dallas and two sons by his second wife, Jan Elliott: James H. (Beau) Edmondson and Robert Chase Elliott Edmondson, both residents now in New York with their families.

He also leaves a beloved family in Dallas, including, his sister Sally (Cissie) Sparkman and his brotherin-law Ben Hines Sparkman; his nephews James Howard Sparkman and Ben Hines Sparkman, Jr. and their families and wonderful children. His caregiver and first friend during his last years, Glenda Mitchell of Dallas also mourns his loss. But for all of those who will miss him so much here, it is comforting to know that Jim is now off in his jalopy, riding through winding Virginia roads and it is 1955 forever.

Franceschi, Edna, a longtime Russian River area resident known for her years in the resort and restaurant businesses, died May 10. 2004 in Sebastopol of natural causes. She was 94. ``She was a very warm, very caring person,'' said her granddaughter, Lisa Titus Isabeau, of Santa Rosa. ``She was a wonderful grandmother. I grew up living right down the street from her and spending lots of time with her.' Born Edna Mae Shinn on Oct. 17, 1909, in Ignacio, Franceschi moved with her family to Guerneville in 1918. With her father as the Guerneville-Monte Rio depot agent, she was able to ride the train to Santa Rosa for free and attended Santa Rosa High School. Later, after graduating from a business school in San Francisco and working as a secretary in Santa Rosa about a year, she married Herbert Angelo Genelly, her beau from junior high school. For 20 years, they operated the Genelly Resort at Vacation Beach. Genelly was the first of two husbands she would outlive. After Genelly, a fisherman out of Bodega Bay, was lost at sea in 1955, she went to work at an insurance office in Guerneville. Two years later, she married Virgil Franceschi, owner and operator of the Alaska Inn, which ultimately burned to the ground and never was rebuilt. Later, she and her second husband ran the restaurant at Murphy's Ranch for a summer season. Additionally, she ran the Bridge House Cafe at Hexigon House, Guerneville, for two seasons and also worked at Neeley's Guerneville Shop. She and her second husband enjoyed traveling with their trailer, going to Modoc and Mexico. Following his death, she moved in with relatives. ``She was a generous person,'' said her granddaughter, ``always thinking of others first. She had a positive outlook on life.'' In retirement, her favorite activities included cooking, reading, gardening and spending time with family. ``She hadn't worked much since the late '70s and was able to spend the rest of her years cooking and gardening. She liked to find new recipes by going through magazines and recipe books. She was always exploring new dishes to make and serve.'' In the garden, she focused on flowers while her second husband cultivated vegetables. ``She had been a member of the same informal bridge club for 50 years,'' said her granddaughter. ``She outlived most of the other members.'' Francheschi is survived by her son, Herbert Genelly, of Monte Rio, and daughter, Muriel Titus, of Guerneville. She also leaves five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. There will be no services. The Neptune Society was in charge of arrangements. The family suggests memorial donations to the Russian River Health Center, P.O. Box 226, Guerneville 95446, or the Guerneville Fire Ambulance Service, 14100 Armstrong Woods Road, Guerneville 95446.

Hull, Bradford. At the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. E. Davis, near Coldwater, Kansas, on Saturday, March 12, 1904, Bradford Hull, aged 83 years, 5 months and 1 day. At 4 o'clock a.m. on last Saturday, after lapsing into unconciousness for about 24 hours, Bradford Hull, father of Spencer Hull, of this city, and of Mrs. J. E. Davis, northeast of town, died without any apparent struggle or pain. He had been an invalid from paralysis for eight years and was incapable during that time, of walking. On the Sunday before his death he began to fail in strength, and gradually his remaining vitality gave way. The funeral services were held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Davis at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Rev. I. W. Bailey, of the Baptist church, preaching an appropriate sermon. Rev. J. B. Handy, of the M. E. church, assisted in the services. Burial took place in the Coldwater cemetery. The deceased was born in Chester co., Pennsylvania, October 11, 1820. At the age of 7 he moved with his parents to Morrow co., Ohio, where he lived for nearly 67 years. On October 5, 1843, he was united in marriage to Miss Nancy Titus. Nine children were born to the union, 6 of whom are living. The son, Spencer Hull, and a daughter, Mrs. Davis, were the only children present at the funeral exercises.There are few more patient, more unassuming and withal, more honorable men or more conscientious and upright citizens than was Bradford Hull. He bore his affliction without a murmur and with remarkable patience. For the past 15 years he had made his home most of the time with Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Hull. A part of the time was county for 7 years. Before coming to Kansas he spent a couple of years in Chicago. It was during his stay spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Davis. Mr. Hull had lived in that city that he was stricken with paralysis. For nearly all his life he had been a member of the Baptist church and had lived a consistent and exemplary Christian life. In his death the relatives and friends deeply mourn the loss of a kind father and good man, and especially will those who for so many years, so lovingly administered to his every need, feel the pang of his absence.
