Linda "Bosie" Edmondson Jacobs Murdaugh

Biography

Linda 'Bosie' Edmondson Jacobs Murdaugh was born in 1856 in East New Market and she carried the affectionate nickname Bosie with warmth. She tended to the gardens and books of the household while also volunteering to assist neighbors during illness, quietly sewing hope into difficult seams.

Long after her children were grown, she remained the one people sought for a reassuring smile and practical counsel, reminding them that a calm heart can calm a troubled town. East New Market cherishes the memory of Bosie as a nurturing soul whose generosity never asked for notice.
