~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mary Elizabeth Wile Boyer was born 29 Sep 1835 Montgomery Co., PA she died 22 Sep 1924 Thorntown, Boone Co., IN. She was the daughter of Samuel Wile and Esther Jones Eisenberg. They traveled to Thorntown on the train to see Mary's brother planning to go on, but Mary had grown weary of traveling so put her foot down that they were staying in Thorntown. They bought a farm just outside town and built a house there. However the first year they were there was a bitter winter and the house on the land they bought was not winter ready. The snow came in and the children had to sleep between tick mattresses with quilts on top of that. The next year the Boyer's enlisted family help and built a lovely home just outside of town. The family had left a daughter Annie Elizabeth in PA who had died and was buried there. That had to have been very hard for Mary to leave her child.
