Excerpt from "BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH" about her husband - Benjamin Bolen, married first: Miss Jane Hood, by whom he raised a family of 5 children. In 1833, John was united in marriage to Miss Mary McCormick, daughter of Booth McCormick. In 1834, Mr. B. cast his lot among the residents of Illinois, settling in Astoria township, where he has since resided. When the war broke out, he enlisted in Co. H., 85th Ill. Inf., and after a service of one year, was honorably discharged and returned to his old home. A short time after the enlistment of Mr. B., his second son, John Irvin, turned from the peaceful farm life, to the battle field, and eventually laid down his life for his country. They have 5 children - Matilda, Sarah J., Phoebe J., William, and Irvin.
