Early in life she was converted and united with the Baptist Church. She lived a consecrated Christian life. Her life was a benediction to all who knew her. She lived only 57 years but her life was one of service. It was marked with deeds of kindness and cheer. She scattered flowers and sunshine wherever she went. She loved her home, her children and her friends and in her homegoing her children have lost a devoted mother, her neighbors a true and faithful friend, and the community a loyal citizen. It can be said of her that she was a woman of strong Christian character-- patient, loving and self-sacrificing. http://files.usgwarchives.net/tx/kimble/obits/a-b/b3000001.txt (Research): Census Listings: 1930 Census Texas, Sabine County, JP 6 Enumerated April 14, 1930 ED 202-8 SD 19 Sheet 7A Stamped 98 134-137 Boyett, Clarisia Head F W 32 Wd 16 Tx Miss Miss Boyett, Earnest Son M W 23 S Tx Ark Tx Farmer Boyett, Evelyn Dtr F W 12 S Tx Ark Tx Boyett, Anna Laura Dtr F W 8 S Tx Ark Tx ---/138 Coon, Titus Head M W 23 m 22 Tx Tx Tx Laborer Farming Coon, Willie Wf F W 26 M Tx Ark Tx

  Family	Robert Edgar Boyett,   b. 14 Dec 1870, Arkansas d. 30 Apr 1927, Rosevine, Sabine County, Texas (Age 56 years)
  Marriage	19 Dec 1893	Sabine County, Texas   [1, 2, 4]
  	In her annotated transcription of the Gravel Hill Cemetery, Kay Parker McCary shows that they were also the parents of Wyatt BOYETT (1905-1906). This is a possiblity, as he would fit in the gap between their children Willie Orma (b. 1903) and Ernest Jackson (b. 1906). The 1910 census enumeration shows that Clarissa was the mother of six children in total, only five still living. Her living children were Emma (already married to Leonard Cordray), Aaron, Willie O., Ernest, and Vida. Robert Goodrich, born and died in 1902 was known to be deceased. Therefore, unless the census was in error, she could not have also been the mother of Wyatt. Additionally, in March 2013 Clarissa's granddaughter, Martha White emailed that "Sadly, there was once a page from the family bible but it was long ago lost and was in bad shape. I know that no one ever said Grandmother had anything but 9 children. My Mother [Annie Lora Boyett White] being her 9th and last child. Two did die very young, Robert Goodrich [and later] Oren Washington. I do not remember seeing a Wyatt on the bible list. An additional child...say Wyatt...would have given Grandmother 10 children in her life and to my knowledge that is just incorrect. Also, in the past decades there were trips by my Uncle Ernest to east Texas and his wife photographed graves -- he never mentioned a Wyatt or brought back a picture of that grave. Years and years ago I did do a family tree, when Ernest Sr., Aunt Willie were still living...they all looked at it and never mentioned a Wyatt. So I do believe that is an error. Aunt Willie also helped a woman out of CA who was writing a book, and she never mentioned a Wyatt either." It is likely that Wyatt Boyett, attributed by Kay Parker McCary to Robert Edgar and Clarissa Boyett was more likely a son of John Oliver Boyett and Mattie Conn, and therefore not a sibling, but rather a double first cousin to the children born to Robert and Clarissa.
