no stone marked in the records as Mrs C O Stone, lot 27BA wife of Charles O. Boughton. History of Northern Wisconsin 1881
Charles O. Boughton was born in Litchfield, Connecticut, December, 1829, and there
remained until nine years of age. He then accompanied his parents to Elyria, Lorain
county, Ohio, making that place his home for five years. In 1850, he, with his father
went to California, and on returning, after a stay of two years, came by way of the
isthmus. They embarked at San Francisco, on the propeller Union, and when off the coast
of South California, about seven hundred and fifty miles from San Francisco, they were
wrecked; the vessel was lost, but all on board succeeded in getting ashore. For
seventeen days they subsisted on clams, when they were rescued by a passing vessel, and
crossed the isthmus, embarking in the Brother Jonathan with five hundred passengers; when
in the gulf stream the ship took fire, but by the heroic efforts of the crew and
passengers it was saved. After reaching home Mr. Boughton removed to Galena, Illinois,
and engaged in milling. In 1864 he came to Prescott, and has followed different
pursuits, the past ten years having been in the meat business. His wife was Miss Sarah
Kelly, married in 1865. Six children have been born to them, all living.
