General Notes: Husband - Robert Bovard


He died in consequence of having partaken of wild parsnips under the impression that they were sweet myrrh. His father had also partaken of the vegetables, but having eaten but a small quantity he recovered from the effects. This happened after the removal of the family to South Huntingdon township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.
