Gladwin County Record dated 10-09/1924 Column - 5 Page - 4  
Daniel L. Boman was born at Edenville, Mich., Nov. 10, 1891, and died Sept. 
10, 1924, at 11:30 a.m. at LePas, Manitoba, 650 miles north of Winnepeg, after 
a week's illness with appendicitis, aged 32 years and 10 months. Mr. Boman was 
employed at a trading station at Setting Lake, 137 miles form medical aid, and 
was taken from there by gas car to St. Anthony hospital at LePas where he laid 
six hours before consenting to be operated on, and at midnight Dr. Orricls and 
two helpers operated, finding that the appendix had bursted during the first 
attach and blood poison had set in. Still he lingered 12 hours before he 
succumbed, believing and telling the nurse until the last that he just could 
not die, for he had a wife and family looking to him for support and 
protection. His wife accompanied by their 2 1/2 year old son Adrian, brought 
the body some 2000 miles to Edenville that friends and relatives there might 
look for the last time on his face. Six days were necessary for the trip. The 
journey was made by train to Saginaw where they were met by her brother 
Charles and John Boman, and the Beaverton hearse took the body from there to 
the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Boman at Edenville. The funeral 
was held in the Methodist church at theat place Sept. 20, at 2 p.m., Rev. 
Kettle officiating, with interment in Dale cemetery. The floral offerings were 
numerous, and autos were parked over a mile at the funeral.
   The pallbearers were George W. Boman, Guy W. Boman, Fred H. Boman, John L. 
Boman, his brothers, Floyd Boman, nephew; and Charles Boals, brother-in-law. 
Mr. Boman had lived in Manitoba the last five years and as a trader, hunter 
and trapper had made many friends there. A train ran only twice a week to 
where the family lived at Setting Lake, where he ran a trading station in 
summer and trapped in the winter. His experiences in this north country were 
very interesting. Before going there he was employed in the Ford factory in 
Detroit two years, and previous to that on his farm in Tobacco.
   He was married Oct. 31, 1912, at Saginaw, Mich., to Alice Boals, daughter 
of Mr. and Mrs. Archie Boals of Tobacco, who survives him, with two sons, 
Leonard aged eight years who lived with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Boals, 
and Adrian, 2 1/2 years old, besides his parents, Mr. and Mr. George W. Boman 
of Edenville, four brothers --- George W. of Port Huron, Guy W. of Omer, John 
L. of Edenville and Fred H. of Secord; four sister's --- Mrs. Howard of 
Gladwn, Mrs. Swanton and Mrs. Taylor of Detroit, Mrs. Adams of Edenville; 
besides a host of other relatives and friends.
