Anna Elizabeth "Annie" Coggin was born on October 18, 1864 in Montgomery Co., North Carolina. Often called "Eliza" as a child/youth, she was the daughter of Burwell Titus "Burrel" Coggin, Jr. (1814-1885) and Cirona Harris (1836-1873). Both were also born in Montgomery County, lived and died there. They are buried there in the Coggin Family Cemetery.
Annie's father, Burrel Jr., was the son of Burwell Titus "Burrel" Coggin, Sr. (1768-1814) and Letha "Lethy" Tucker (1773-1847). Burrel Sr. was born in Montgomery Co., NC, Lethy in Virginia. Both died in Montgomery Co., NC. They too, are buried in the Coggin Family Cemetery.
Annie's mother, Cirona, was the daughter of Parsons Benjamin Harris Sr. (1808-1868) and Abigail Ingram (1818-1875). Both were born in Montgomery Co., NC. Their grave sites are unknown but they are thought to be buried in that county.
In June of 1889, Annie's only sister, Aletha "Lethe" (Coggin) Thayer (1856-1889), died from TB. She died at the age of 32, just two months after giving birth to her 2th child.
On Aug. 25, 1889, Annie married Augustus Clingman "A.C." Boyles (1867-1936) in Eldorado, Montgomery Co., NC. Although Annie was 27, it was her first marriage. AC was about 6 years younger at 21. Born in Laurel Hill, Lincoln Co., NC, he became a medical doctor receiving his medical degree from Baltimore University (School of Medicine) in 1897.
AC was the son of Rev. Marcus Wrightman "M.W." Boyles (1842-1892) and Susan Alice Wood (1846-1895). AC's father, Marcus, died from the flu in 1892 during the work-wide flu pandemic (1888-1892). Marcus, his father, Josiah Adolphus Tracy (1816-1894) and his grandfather, John Boyles II (1768-1843), had all been "old-time" Methodist Episcopal (ME) circuit preachers. Josiah and John were also farmers.
Annie and A.C. were married for about 24 years and had four known children. They were Henry Paul Boyles (1891-1910), Burrel Clarence "B. C." Boyles (1894-1989), William Marcus Boyles (1897-1965) and Augustus Clingman "Gus" Boyles Jr. (1903-1965). All four were born in North Carolina.
Annie and AC's first born son, Henry Paul Boyles, died from typhoid fever in 1910 while a student (freshman) at Trinity College (now Duke University). He was just 19. Paul was there to eventually become a doctor like his father, AC.
Annie took her son's death extremely hard and never recovered. She developed severe depression and in 1913 had to enter the Dorothy Dix Hospital in Raleigh, NC where she could receive 24/7 care. She died on July 8, 1914 at the age of 49. Despite the best efforts of her husband, and their other three children, it is said that Annie simply lost her will to live and eventually starved herself to death. Annie is buried in the Maplewood Cemetery in Durham, Durham Co., NC. The inscription at the bottom of her headstone reads "Tho lost to sight to memory dear".
AC, having first lost his son, then having to deal with his beloved wife's depression for several years and eventually losing her as well, was understandably despondent. About two years after her death he left the medical profession and moved to Kissimmee, Osceola Co., Florida. Having been raised on a farm he purchased a truck arm with a home. Unfortunately, the severe freeze of 1917 (26 degrees in Tampa!) killed and/or severely damaged his crops. He then sold his land and by 1920, he owned a citrus grove about 9 miles from Arcadia, Desoto Co., FL. Arcadia is abt 90 miles inland from Tampa.
Although AC was just 46 when Annie died, he remained unmarried for over a decade. He finally married widower, Mamie G. (Tracy) White (1869-1945), whom he had met in Tampa, Florida. Both of their first spouses had died.
Tragedy stuck again in 1929 when the wide-spread infestation of the Florida Mediterranean fruit fly all but destroyed his citrus grove. At the encouragement of his second wife, AC returned to the medical profession about 1929, moving to North Carolina, eventually in Mt. Airy, Surry Co., NC, where he served as a contract doctor with a local granite company. He and his second wife, Mamie, soon settled (about 1930) on a little farm in Oak Grove, just outside Mr. Airy, NC.
AC died of a massive heart attack on Jan. 28, 1936 at his little Oak Grove farm at the age of 68. At the time he and his daughter, Dorothy, were tending some stock in their barn. He is thought to have died before hitting the ground. He too, is buried (1935) in Maplewood Cemetery in Durham, NC, next to his first wife, Annie (1914), and near his first born son, Henry (1819). His son, Gus, who never married, was buried near his parents in 1965.
