ANOTHER OLD VETERAN IS MUSTERED OUT  
EIGHTY-FIVE YEARS OLD
John W. Boston passes away Sunday after a year’s illness and saw service during
Civil War as a member of 81st Ohio volunteers
    Final taps were.. sounded for another aged civil war veteran Sunday shortly
after noon, when John W. Boston, 84, father of Albert Boston, west Commercial
street, passed away after an illness of the past year.  His demise is attributed
to a complication of diseases and old age.  The funeral services which have not
yet been definitely made pending the arrival of his daughter will likely be held
Wednesday morning at 9 o’clock from the home of the son, west Commercial street,
in charge of Rev. Lewis Reeves.  Interment will be made at Muncie.
     The deceased was born in Delaware county, Ohio, near Ashley, July 17, 1833,
and moved to this city in 1896.  He later moved to Tennessee and there to Muncie
and finally made his home near his birth place in Ashley, Ohio.  He was three
times married.  In 1854 he was united in marriage to Mary J. Elliott to which
union five children were born, two surviving as follows:  Mrs. Mary C. Bault, of
Detroit, Mich., and Albert Boston, of this city.  He was again married in 1912
to Ellen A. Roosevelt, at Ashley, Ohio, and at a later date to Francis Brumley,
also of Ashley, now deceased.
    Mr. Boston was a member of the 81st Ohio volunteer infantry during the civil
war and saw active service during the conflict.  During his later life he was
affiliated with the Dunkard church.  The G. A. R. will probably assist with the
services.
