      ANOTHER AGED AND RESPECTED CITIZEN DEAD
      Mrs. Eliza J. Boyers, an aged and respected citizen of this community died at her home in Galt Friday morning, aged past 85 years. Mrs. Boyers was one of the early settlers of the vicinity of Lindley, where she was known by almost every person as Aunt Eliza or Grandma Boyer. A few years ago Mrs. Boyers came here from Lindley with her son W. J. who had a grocery store at the home so that he could be with her in fact for the past eight years Mrs. Boyers has been confined to her bed more or less and W. J. cared for her, and he will of course miss her more than any one.

      A short funeral service was held at the Boyers home one block north of the square in Galt at one o'clock conducted by Rev. E. V. Campbell pastor of the M.E. church. The remains were laid to rest in the Boyers cemetery in Lindley.

      Eliza J. Boyers, whose maiden name was Hatcher was born February 21, 1840, near Scottsville, Sullivan Co., Mo.

      At an early age she moved with her parents to the home place north of Lindley, where she resided until her marriage to Samuel Boyers, in 1868. To this union were born two sons, George W. and William J. and one daughter, Lucy, who died when eight years of age. George W. died in Oklahoma the first day of February of this year. At the age of 17 the deceased joined the Christian church at Lindley, of which she continued a faithful member until the end. Besides one son she leaves one sister, Mrs. Matilda Clark of Humphreys to mourn her death.

      In 1880 Census MO Grundy East Marion Twp. age 39 b. MO/TN/TN without Samuel
      In 1900 Census Kansas living with sister Elizabeth
      In 1920 Census MO Grundy Marion Twp. Age 79 b. MO/TN/TN with son William J.

      Boyers Cemetery record (on rootsweb Grundy Co, MO site) says:
      BOYERS Eliza J. (HATCHER) 06 Dec 1925 Age 85y 3m 21d; third wife of Samuel BOYERS; (no stone)

      Death date is probably reversed given age should be 6/12/1925? But birth year probably 1841 given census records and closeness to Eliza's brother John which doesn't jive with the age in the cemetery record.
