  JOSEPH BOSLER was born March 23, 1838.  He attended the common schools and the academy at New Kingston and the grammar school of Dickinson College.  He also spent his early life on his father's farm, with the exception of several years passed with his brother James in Ohio.  In 1863 he joined said brother in Sioux City, Iowa, and engaged with him in merchandising and Government contracting until 1866, when he returned to Carlisle and formed a copartnership with his brother, J. H. Bosler.  This partnership lasted eight years, during which time they were interested in stock and real estate in the West.  Joseph still continues this business.  November 4, 1868, he married Sarah E., daughter of Thomas Newton and Margaret (Billmeyer) Lemen, of Berkeley County, W. Va.  Mr. and Mrs. Bosler have had seven children, five of whom are living:  Margaret, Joseph, Jr., Eliza Herman, Mary and Susan Lemen.  Mrs. Bosler and daughter, Margaret, are members of the Second Presbyterian Church, of Carlisle.
