• Notes

  Moved from Ohio to Missouri -- (?Larado) G. W. Boston owned stage stop (kept horses for teamsters) Ran stage stop at Tortilla Flat when Robert (son) was a baby? Owned a saloon in Tempe when Nena (daughter) was born. Owned a saloon in Phoenix. Someone's uncle was Captain in confederate army. (Bell or Boston or Thair). Grandma, Thelma Boston, said also that George Washington Boston had a wife before Nettie Virginia Gordon. 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.] 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. per Beverly Jean Boston
