General Notes: Husband - Charles D. Boals

---

He has been eminently successful as a general farmer, each year seeing some new improvement on his property, and he has also developed the oil resources, having operated profitably for a number of years. He is energetic and progressive, with a keen sense of his responsibilities to the community which makes him a very good citizen, and his services in the cause of public education have been especially noteworthy. For sixteen years he has been a member of the board of education, and for five years president of that body, whose duties are quite extensive, there being seven schools in the township. He is president of the Venango County School Directors' Association. Fraternally Mr. Boals is a prominent Odd Fellow, belonging to all the branches, lodge, encampment and canton, and he has passed all the chairs, being a past captain in the canton. He takes great pleasure in attending the general gatherings of the order. He and his wife are members of the East Grove M. E. Church, in which he holds the official position of steward. [CAB, 913]
