NOTES:
BIOGRAPHICAL:
Josephine Ford Boyle. "Josephine Boyle, wife of Dr. Boyle, was born in Howard County, Missouri, December 5, 1830. She came to Oregon with her parents, Col. Nathanial Ford and wife, Lucinda Duncan Ford, in 1844. Surviving her husband 52 years, she passed away June 21, 1916 in the 86th year of her age. Wh who know her the best of all know that she was a kind and indulgent mother, ministering with loving kindess to the happiness and well-being of her children in every way possible. Bravely, silently, she bore her part, faithful still as a bridge of stars. She rests by the side of her husband in the Oddfellows cemetery at Salem. Well may we, the descendants of those old pathfinders and homebuilders of the early forties, recite their many inconveniences, extol their virtues, proclaim their lives strenuous, and, while their annals bells are yet ringing, tune with filial veneration for their memories and gaze upon 'the westward sun, a suset sun, the sun of their hopes fulfilled'".

"Josephine Pauline Ford was born in Howard Co., Missouri Dec. 5, 1830. With her sister, Mry Ann, she attended "The Female Seminary" at Columbia, Mo.
They, with the other girls of the school, marched at the laying of the cornerstone of the Columbia University, July 4, 1840. Their names were placed on the stone.
That evening Grandfather took them to the ball. They were dressed in white dresses, with long tight waists, very short sleeves, long white silk gloves, and blure ribbon shashes (the skirts were gathered very full onto the waists), white hose, black slippers with long ribbons that wrapped around their ankles and tied in a bow.
Part of the time they boarded, while at school, with a widow lady, Mrs. Hardin and her son, Charles. Charles E. Hardin later became the governor of Missouri, elected in 1874.
Mary Ann and Josephine knew Mary Todd, afterward the wife of Abraham Lincoln. She was one time a guest of the elder daughter of Judge Rand, Aunt Mary Ann and Aunt Josephine were guests of the younger daughter.
She came to Oregon with her parents in 1844. She was married to Dr. James Boyle, May 2, 1846, by Rev. John Boone, at Rickreall. They took a donation land claim on what is now known as the Whiteaker place. They later filed on a place about a mile from Rickreall. They moved to Salem and lived there until Dr. Boyle's death.
She then moved back to her home near Rickreall. She moved to another nome nearer Dallas, and died there, June 1, 1916 and was buried in the I.O.O.F. cemetery, Salem.
Children are: Nathanile, Mary Boyle Jeffreys, Hannah Boyle Tatom, REna Boyle Childers, James William, and Charles. Now living are Hannah, Rena, and William."
