General Notes: Husband - Washington Bovard


He resided with his par­ents until maturity, and received his education in the pioneer schools of his neigh­borhood. In 1845 he embarked in merchandising at West Sunbury, which busi­ness he followed for five years. He then settled upon a part of the homestead farm in Cherry township, owning a farm of 140 acres of well improved land. He and his wife were members of Bethel United Presbyterian church, in which society he filled the office of elder. Politically, he was a Prohibitionist, always true to his party and an ardent advocate of its principles. In 1855 he was elected a justice of the peace, in which office he served five years. He was a school director for twenty years, and filled many other offices in the town­ship. The postoffice at Bovard, also the railroad station, were named in his honor.
