Death ruled a homicide.
Excerpt from THE BOGGAN FAMILY: Patrick, Benjamin, James and their sister Jane including pertinent facts of North Carolina History, compiled by Frances Henrietta Bingham Krechel, 1975, Hemet California:
According to Sheriff Ben M. Rivers and his investigators, it was disclosed that Mr. Tyler Bennett Boggan met death at the hands of a person or persons unknown, after his body was found in dense woods about a mile east of his ancestral plantation home between Wadesboro and Polkton on Monday, Sept. 13, 1948. Mystery surrounds the circumstances but it is surmised that Mr. Boggan might have surprised the maker or makers of a moonshine distillery in the dense wooded area while out on a walk with his pet dog. Mr. Tyler Bennett Boggan was 68 years of age, born and spending practically his entire life on the home estate. He was born August 28, 1880, a son of the late Capt. J. A. Boggan and Mrs Melvina Kendall Boggan. His standing, therefore, as among the families of outstanding worth -- both presently and by inheritance -- in Anson county needs no special emphasis to anyone familiar with this section. Except for a short stay in western states as a young man, Mr. Boggan served his community as a substantial farmer. Though he was not inclined to seek public advancement, his influence was important. He was well read, congenial and kindly in disposition, a believer in the genuine virtues and ideals of honorable and gentlemanly treatment of all with whom he had to deal. He will long be missed by countless people in all walks of life who knew and esteemed him. Mr. Boggan was happily married to the former Miss Allie Winfield who is a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John W. Winfield and so likewise a member of importance in this section. She survives him, as do one daughter, Miss Alice Julia Boggan; one sister Miss Alice Boggan, who resides also at the home place, and two brothers, Messrs Henry S. Boggan of Rockingham, and John A. Boggan of Polkton. Funeral services were held in the presence of a large congregation at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, with the Methodist pastor, Rev. W. Kenneth Goodson, assisted by Rev. Harvey W. Glazier, Episcopal rector, in the rites in the Leavitt Funeral
Home chapel. Interment was in the family plot in Eastview cemetery amid a profusion of lovely floral tributes. Pall bearers were Messrs. James W.; Thomas W. and Henry Boggan (nephews). Nelson Underwood, James Martin, Jr. and Basil
Ray.
