Mrs. Elvira Boland, the beloved wife of Mr. John P. Boland of Minnith, Beauvais
township, died at her home on Thursday, March 8, 1888. She had been afflicted
with consumption for seven years previous and, though her attached husband had
spared no effort, or expense within his means, to preserve her life, no medical
attention could check the ravages of this dreadful disease or stay the heavy
hand of Death. So she passed away from the scene of those domestic duties which
she so faithfully and lovingly performed, leaving a vacancy never to be filled
in the home which she made happy by her many virtues, and a wound in the heart
of her devoted husband which shall never be healed on this side of the grave.
She was a member of the Baptist church. Her mortal remains were interred in the
family cemetery adjoining the residence.
The deceased was born at Minnith on March 30, 1840. She was the daughter of Mr.
Geo. Scott, a farmer. On August 2, 1859, she became the wife of Mr. John P.
Boland, the ceremony being performed by Rev. C. W.
Scott, a minister of the gospel. From their marriage resulted a numerous
progeny, ten children, namely, Eliza, John, Philip, Edwin, James, Elias, Thomas,
Cora and Emma, all living, and Charles, dead.

During the many years of her wedded life, Mrs. Boland performed her wifely and motherly duties with a conscientious fidelity that made her an object of tender
love to her husband and children and an honor to her sex in the estimation of all who knew her. She was a true type of noble womanhood, impartial, constant, loving and sincere. So honorably is the discharge of the trust reposed in her by her husband that she never made the least distinction between her step children and her own, and the former never felt the loss of a mother, and loved her til the last. Alas! how rare is such virtue. Of all God's earthly creations a true woman is the noblest.
