per James Frederick Boston
My understandings are that George (my grandpa):
Had a stage line from Phoenix to Peoria, which was driven at times by my Dad, who was in his mid-teens. The "stage" was some kind of motor vehicle. George sold the stage line to Greyhound Bus Co.
He took his life with a gun in the 1920's. He is buried at Greenwood Cemetery, Phoenix. [Per my notes: George died 19 JAN 1923 at 343 E. Lincoln, Phoenix, Arizona @ 11:15 am. "Gun shot. Self-inflicted." He was buried on 23 JAN 1923. His occupation: "Proprietor stage line." Born in Iowa. Father: William Boston. Mother's name unknown. George born 13 DEC 1861. Lived in Phoenix for 35 years.] {arrived in 1888? jlm}
Per George's tombstone: Born 1862. Died 1923.
[Also per my notes: George and Nettie Gordon married May 2, 1894 at residence of Mr. Stelzried in Territory of Arizona.]
Per my mother, Thelma Boston, on 6 APR 1982:
George Boston had brothers, three of whom were named Robert, Frederick and James. He also had sisters, on of whom was named Ruth. Ruth sent Thelma a sympathy card when Robert died. Ruth lived in Tempe, Arizona, but Thelma never got her last name.
