  • Raymond Richard (sometimes referred to as Richard Raymond) born 1876 Died in Decatur, Ill 1891. Obituary states "mother living in Pennsylvania."

    • In my grandmother's (Nellie Alice Cackley Boyer) address book, I found a reference to "Ella Boyer" who my mother called "Aunt Ella." I traced Ella's line thinking I would find a connection (which I didn't.) EllaÕs line begins with:
