Stephen is my (Sandi Koscak) grandfather. I never met him because he died before I was born. Stephen and Elmina lived in Princeton, Kentucky until about 1920 when they moved to Herrin, Illinois where Stephen had a house built for his family. Their son, Bartus, had died at age two and their daughter, Ruby, was eighteen months old.Stephen worked in the coal mines and with the railroad. While working with the railroad, he was seriously injured.Stephen and Elmina left Herrin in 1933 and moved to Missouri where they bought a farm on the outskirts of the town of Sullivan where Stephen became a farmer.When Stephen died, at age 57, he was buried in the graveyard in Sullivan, Missouri.Elmina and her brother Andrew were the only two of Benjamin Morrison Board 's children by his second wife Dora who lived long lives.After Stephen died, Elmina moved back to Princeton, Kentucky. Later, she moved to Madisonville, Kentucky. She lived to be over ninety years of age, and when she died she was buried in the Perry Graveyard in Princeton.
