She attended Risley Elementary School and later moved to Patterson, Ga. where she attended Lee Street High School in Blackshear, Ga. Arthur Mae was a devoted wife to the late, Shafter Boston for 50 years and to this union three children were born, one son and two daughters.
She was employed at Manhattan Shirt Factory and Parks Manufacturing for many years. Sis.
