W M Boston Marries Nellie Kah


Bill Boston's first wife was Nellie Kah. They were married at the home of Christopher Kah, but do not know the relationship between Nellie and Christopher. Christopher could be her father, brother, uncle ... If anybody knows, I'd like to know.


Nellie died four short years later. By then, she had lost her first son in childbirth, but had a healthy son on the 2nd try, Everett (I've never heard Everett's middle name).

Jack Boston Found in Snow Bank


Charles Otis Boston, or Jack as he was known, was found in a snow bank and died of exposure. There must be more to this story than is written in the article, at least, "Why was he in the snowbank outside of his place of residence?" I've thus far found no reference to Jack having children, or even a wife, but this is not his obit. I haven't found that either.


Jack was the son of Richard Adolphus Boston, a brother to my Great Grandfather, Bill Boston.

Wilma Jean Boston Dies at Chariton


Wilma Jean Boston died at the very young age of 20. She was the daughter of William Marion Boston, known to all as Marion. Marion was my Grandpa's brother, making Wilma a cousin to my mother.

Carl Homer Boston


I was in Germany when my Grandfather passed away. Three of the four great grandchildren described as being in Germany are mine. The other belongs to my cousin Marvin, who was also stationed in Germany.


I have very fond memories of Grandpa at the court house in Chariton. He and his dog, Miggie, had the run of the place, and so did we grand kids after the "important" people had gone home. You could always tell if Grandpa had left on an errand. Miggie would be on the 2nd floor at the top of the stairs looking out the window at the direction he'd gone.

Clarice (Davis) Boston


Clarice (Davis) Boston was the wife of my grandfather's oldest brother, well actually half-brother, Everette Boston. Everette was the only surviving child of Nelly Kah and my great-grandfather, William (Bill) Marion Boston. Nelly died young and Everette was raised by Bill's second wife, my great grandmother, Myrtle Bryant.
