BOYER, Charles Wesley - C.W. Boyer died very suddenly Friday at his home at the Home Hospital, 415 North Fourth street. He had not been in good health for some time but had been feeling unusually well this spring and was working in the yard when he fell to the ground and died about thirty minutes after being taken to the house. Funeral services were held at the Central Methodist church Saturday afternoon at three o'clock and were conducted by Rev. Herbert Hankins of Springdale, an old friend of the family, assisted by Rev. Clark. Interment was in the Rogers cemetery. Charles Wesley Boyer was born at Madison, Wis. December 13, 1863. He was married to Miss Ella Towner of Charles City, Iowa who died in April 1907. To this union one son was born, Burton Boyer, who died in 1922. In 1909 Mr. Boyer married Miss Ruth Sabrin of St. Paul, Minn. and to this union two daughters were born, Ruth Esther, who died in 1916 and Jean Ann, who with his wife survives him. Mr. Boyer graduated from the Cedar Valley Seminary at Osage, Iowa and finished from the Upper Iowa University at Fayette, Iowa. He was a traveling salesman for one firm for 28 years. He had been in the south fourteen years, coming to Rogers from Springdale nearly four years ago and with his wife establishing the Home Hospital on North Fourth. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Mattie Hill of Miami, Florida and Mrs. Mary Law of Los Angeles, Calif., and by three brothers, Robert Boyer of Long Beach, Calif.; George Boyer of St. Cloud, Minnesota and Wm. Boyer of Charles City, Iowa. Also by two grand children at Seattle, Washington. Mrs. Boyer, who has been ill for several weeks, was operated on Tuesday afternoon and expects to reopen the Home Hospital about the first of July. Mr. Boyer was a fine type of man and by his death Rogers lost one of its most worthy citizens.
