He was married to Miss Perthenia Tinsley on 9 June 1869 in Louisville, Kentucky. In 1873, the couple came to Texas and settled in Burnet County. In 1874, they moved to Mason County, where they have lived since. Mr. Boston was a member of the Christian Church, having become a member when a young man, and also belonged to the Masonic Lodge. He joined the Masons in 1889. He was a man of good, clean character, was loved, admired by a great number of friends. When he first came to Mason County, he bought a farm for a number of years. He sold his farm and entered business in Mason. He lost his business by fire, and went back to farming, but later returned to the mercantile business. For a number of years, he had the mail contract from Mason to Fredonia, but upon the expiration of four years, he became a freighter.

Last week in giving an account of A.J. Boston's life in connection with his recent death. The News stated that he was married on 9 June 1869. This was an error and the News has been asked to make a correction by Mrs. Boston. She states she was married to A.J. Boston on 9 May 1867, and we are pleased to substitute the correct date.
