DANIEL BOYER, owner of 108
acres of very valuable farming land, which is divided into
three tracts, all situated in Newberry Township, Miami
County, lives on a five-acre lot which lies about four and
one-half miles northwest of Covington. He was born in
York County, Pennsylvania, June 11, 1857, and is a son of
Mannasse and Lavina (Luckenbaugh) Boyer.
When Mr. Boyer was about seven years of
age, his parents moved to Ohio and settled in Darke County,
and lived on different farms there. The father still
resides in Darke County. The mother died in January,
1903. Daniel Boyer attended the country
schools as opportunity offered and grew to manhood well
acquainted with every detail of farming. After his
marriage, in 1881, Mr. Boyer rented his
father's farm of 160 acres in Darke County, for six years.
In 1887 he moved to Newberry Township, Miami County, and has
resided here ever since. One of his farms, containing
forty acres, is the old homestead farm of his wife and it is
now operated by his son, Clarence. A second
farm he has under rental, while, although practically
retired, he manages the home place himself. Here he
has done a large amount of improving. His fine frame
residence he has equipped with a furnace and a light plant
and it is one of the most modern rural residences in this
section.
In 1881 Mr. Boyer was married to Miss
Mary Ellen Crowel, a daughter of John Crowel, a
prominent farmer of Newberry Township. They have had
six children, namely: Ira Olonzo, who is in
the farm implement business at Gettysburg, Ohio, married
Daisy Horner and they have one child, Gertrude;
Clarence Homer, who operates the old Crowel
farm, as mentioned above, married Florence
Flory; Eva Venorah, who is the wife of Harry
Christian, of Covington, has one child, Harry
Gerald; John Lowell and Linus
Leonard, both of whom reside at home; and Lova
Catherine, who died at the age of one year, seven months
and nine days. Mr. Boyer and family
belong to the German Baptist Church.
