In 1872, on May 1st, Anna Bartlett Gale married Eben Moody Boynton. She was the only daughter of Dr. Stephen Madison Gale, of Newburyport, connected through her father with Governor Josiah Bartlett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, — he being her great-grandfather, — and the Websters ; on the side of her mother, Hannah Whittier Johnson, with the Johnsons and the family of J. G. Whittier, the poet.
She was a lady of high literary and musical culture, uniting these pursuits with domestic tastes. Among their friends were numbered some of the best people in the land. Their union had been blessed with daughters, all born in West Newbury; they never marry:
1. Catherine Coker, b. 02 Nov 1873, French and music/piano teacher.
2. Alice Gale, b. 28 Aug 1875, public school teacher.
3. Abigail (Abby) Moody, b. 29 Dec 1876, private nurse.
4. Ethel Howe, b. 13 Oct 1878
5. Anna Bartlett, b. 08 May 1880, died 16 May 1880
Her husband, Eben Moody Boynton, was highly intelligent and inventive. He invented and patented unique saw tooth blades that transformed the lumber business and made them a million dollars. He was an outspoken defender of suffrage. He invented the very first monorail system in 1852, known as the Boynton Bicycle Railroad. He first exhibited it in 1890 on Coney Island, apparently a success, but he hated big corporate interests and help and so drew opposition. He tried to go it alone and petitioned the federal govt. year after year until he was bankrupt.
