Mrs. Bost Claims Body of Wayward Husband, Brings Him Home to Bury Him, Oct. 25, 1926

Body of Bost Back to Family He Deserted

Atlanta, Oct. 25—A mother and her six children in Maiden, N.C., today will receive the body of R. P. Bost, husband and father who deserved them 3 ½ years ago. Bost was slain in a fight in the home of Mrs. Artie Collins last Thursday and until Mrs. Bost communicated with the local undertaker, it had been planned to bury him in a cemetery here.

Bost had many relatives in Georgia but until they read the account of the murder in the newspapers, they were ignorant of his whereabouts. Frank Gillespie, son of a city detective, has been held in charge of murder in connection with Bost’s death.
