The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, April 29, 1909 Another veteran of the civil war has answered the final roll call and enlisted with the throngs of peace in the realms beyond. After a couple of weeks of suffering from paralysis, JAMES H. BOYLAN died at his home in this city on Monday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock. He was born in Perry County, Ohio, on Oct. 22, 1835, and was married to PHILIANN WILLIBY, in Chariton, in 1857. To this union were born five children, four surviving: JAMES W., of Des Moines; MRS. ANNABELLE PERCIFIELD of Chariton; MRS. MARY L. MALONE, Chariton; and MRS. SARAH L. BRIGHT, of Des Moines. One son died in infancy. He is survived by a wife, six sisters and a brother. He came to Lucas County near 52 years ago, which has continuously been his home. When the civil war broke out he enlisted in Co. K., 34th Iowa, later being discharged for disabilities. After a time he re-enlisted and was assigned to the 16th Iowa, as a veteran recruit, serving to the end of the war with honor to himself and fidelity to his country. In civil life he met his obligations manfully and leaves an unsullied name behind as a befitting monument to his memory and an untarnished bequest to his family. Funeral services were held from the late residence on Wednesday at 10:00 o clock a.m., Rev. A.H. Lathrop, assisted by Rev. C.E. Wells conducted the services and the ceremonies at the grave were under charge of the G.A.R., of which order he was a faithful and consistent member. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert July 5, 2005 iggy29@rnetinc.net
