In 1858 Mr. Boucher was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Duff, who was born in Jackson Township, Franklin Co., May 20, 1832. Her father, William Duff, was also a native of this Co., and wedded Nancy Orders, whose birth occurred here, and who was a daughter of Jonas Orders
The life work of John,Boucher is ended, but its influence is still felt, his efforts having not been unavailing. For some time he was numbered among the enterprising farmers of Pleasant Township, and there are many who remember him and will gladly receive this record of his career. He was a native of Pennsylvania, born in 1835, his parents being Timothy and Mary Barrows Boucher, also natives of the Keystone state. At the age of 6 years he accompanied his father and mother to the Buckeye State, the family taking up their abode in Pleasant Township. He pursued his education in a log school house such as was at common at that day, and assisted his father in the arduous task of clearing and developing wild land, for this section of the country was covered with dense growth of native trees which had to be cut and disposed of ere a furrow could be turned.
John and Elizabeth began their domestic life upon the farm of 400 acres owned by Mr Boucher, their being a little log cabin of one story.
