From the Wisconsin Valley Leader [Grand Rapids, Wood Co., WI], April 23,
1903, Page 1

Mrs. O. L. BOYNTON, nee Nina BRIGGS, died at her home in Washburn, Wis.,
Wednesday morning, April 22, with smallpox and was buried this (Thursday)
morning at 7 o'clock.

Mrs. BOYNTON was born at Briggsville, Marquette County, Nov. 23, 1869, and
came with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl BRIGGS, to Grand Rapids about four
years later, making her home here for about 18 years. She graduated from
the Howe High School with the class of '86, and for several years, taught
in Wood County schools. She was married to Orville BOYNTON of Pittsville
about twelve years ago and resided there until they moved north about four
years ago, where Mr. BOYNTON holds a position as superintendent of the
HINES Lumber Co. She leaves beside her husband, two children, a boy and a
girl, aged about eleven and nine years. Mrs. Eva BRIGGS, her mother, has
been making her home with Mrs. BOYNTON. Nina BRIGGS was always a popular
girl among her school mates and a large circle of friends in this city, and
her untimely death will be sincerely regretted by many friends in this
county. 

Orville Boynton and Nina Briggs were married Oct. 6, 1891, and their
marriage certificate is recorded in Wood Co. WI Marriages volume II, Page
