WILLIAM H. BOYER, of German descent and one of the industrious and reliable
farmers of Mt. Pleasant township, is a son of Adam and Elizabeth (Raymond) Boyer
and was born in Somerset county, Pa., December 7, 1858. The Boyers settled in
Somerset county over a century ago. Squire Samuel Boyer (grandfather) was born
in that county, where he lived during the greater part of his life. He was an
extensive farmer, an old-time democrat, an earnest Lutheran and served as
justice of the peace for many years.

   He married Lydia Sterret, who bore him four sons and four daughters. During
the latter part of his life he removed to Bullskin township, Fayette county,
Pa., where he died at an advanced age. Adam Boyer (father) was born in 1810 and
died at Paintersville, this county, in 1885. He was a farmer, a democrat and a
Lutheran and married Elizabeth Raymond, daughter of Henry Raymond, a prosperous
farmer of Somerset county, who has attained the ripe old age of ninety-six
years. Adam Boyer reared a family of six children, of whom four are living.

   William H. Boyer was reared on a farm and received his education in the
common schools of his native State. Leaving school he engaged in farming and
stock-raising in Mt. Pleasant township and has continued in that business until
the present time. He is a good farmer and a careful businessman. His farm is
well adapted to grain-raising and grazing purposes.

   He was married on March 18, 1879, to Susan E. Hartzell, daughter of George
Hartzell, of Mt. Pleasant. They are the parents of four children, two sons and
two daughters: Eva, Oliver, Homer and Bertha.

   Politically Mr. Boyer is a democrat and always votes for the nominee of that
party. He and his wife are members of the Reformed church.
