SIMON BOUGHN, farmer, P.O. Range. Joseph Boughn, the father of our subject, was born in Virginia June 6, 1810. He came to Ohio at an early day, and here married Elizabeth Boughn, who was born near Washington, Ohio, August 24, 1819. Our subject was reared on the farm, and remained at home with his parents until his marriage. He received the benefits of the schools of the township and from them obtained his education. In 1866, he married Catharine Hay, by whom he had seven children, whose names and the dates of their birth were as follows: Ida May (deceased), November 16, 1867; Charles, October 26, 1869; Austin, May 15, 1871; Otis, December 26, 1873; Alma, February 5, 1875; Louis Fremans (deceased), April 19, 1877, and Carl, Febraury 25, 1881. Mr. Boughn, after his marriage, engaged in farming, and he has since followed that honored avocation. He now owns 305 acres of good land on the Bloomingburg road, where he resides with his family.
