- Obituary:
Bluffton Evening News, December 12, 1907. A telegram from Marion late
Thursday afternoon informed relatives here of the death of William Boden, who was a life-long resident of this city, with the exception of the past year, which was spent at Marion as an inmate of the National Soldier's Home. The telegram of his death was the first word his relatives here had received to the effect that he was in worse physical condition than usual, although he had been afflicted so terribly for a long time that his death was a matter of no surprise. The deceased was born in Wells County (Darke County, OH) in 1837and at his death was seventy years of age. He was a plasterer by trade and followed that occupation for years, until physical disability prevented him from working. At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in the 47th Indiana Volunteers and served as a faithful soldier until he met with an accident while on duty which disabled him and which in his later years was assigned as the cause of spinal meningitis with which he was so sadly afflicted. While on duty one night in the army he accidently fell into an old well which was not well covered and he was there for some time before his comrades rescued him. He recovered from the injuries at the time, but an injury to the spine was received which caused his affliction in later years. His trouble had grown worse gradually for 15 years. Mr. Boden was married before going to war, but was married a second time in 1866 to Miss Elizabeth Wertz in this city. She and three children, Lewis Boden and Mrs. William McConnell of this city, and Charles Boden of Chicago, survive him. One daughter, Mrs. Emma Reed is dead. The funeral services will be held at the Soldiers Home at Marion at three o'clock Saturday afternoon and the relatives from here will attend, possibly with the exception of the widow, who is sick today and fears she may not be able to go to the funeral. Interment will take place in the Soldiers' Home Cemetery. A committee from the Odd Fellows Lodge of this city, of which Mr. Boden had been a member for many years, will attend the services. The lodge has given much care to Mr. Boden in his last years. Mrs. Emma Snyder (Snider), a sister of William Boden, resides at Deedsville, IN, and one brother, James, is supposed to be living in South Dakota, but no word has been received from him since he visited here five years ago.
