Salvage-yard owner Spide Boyer helped many youths
Elmer M. Boyer, son of David M. Boyer and Minnie Reed Boyer, was born in Linn, Kansas on Dec. 20, 1890, and died at Veteran's hospital in Wichita May 18, 1974, following a long illness, at the age of eighty three years, four months, and 28 days.
Elmer, or "Spide", as he was known to his many friends, was a lifetime resident of Washington county and had been owner-operator of a salvage yard in Washington for the past 40 years.
Years ago Elmer had joined the Methodist church in Linn.
Elmer served the United States overseas during World War I, and was part of the occupation team following the war. He was a member of the Veterans of World War I.
Elmer was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Flora, three brothers, and one sister.
Left to mourn his death are three surviving sisters: Mrs. Lulu Fritschel of Oconomowoc, Wisc.; Mrs. Ina B. Welch, Anaheim, Calif.; and Mrs. Esther Smit of Western Springs, Ill;
One step-daughter; Mrs. Hazel Claybrook of Wichita; one step-son; Roy Olson of San Jose, Calif.; three step-grandchildren, one step-great grandchild; two nephews, two nieces; and a host of other relatives, neighbors, and friends.
Elmer Boyer loved children and no on will ever really know how many young people he helped during his years in the salvage yard. Many a youngster of past years could probably attest to the fact that it was "Spide" who gave them a job at the yard in order to make enough money to buy senior rings and other items for high school graduation. This man, in his own style, has contributed much to the progress and growth of young people in the area.
Funeral services were held Wednesday, May 22, at 10:00 a.m. at the Harry George Funeral Home, Rev. Wm. Wilkoff officiating.
Dr. James Smart sand "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" and "In the Garden," accompanied by Mrs. Vic Wilson. Veterans of World War I served as honorary pallbearers..
O.D. Mack, Wilbur Kohlmeyer, Melvin Smart, Truman Shaw, Arlo Harris, Ralph Bolejack were pallbearers.
Interment was in Greenleaf City Cemetery.
