*****+~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~+++~~~~~O'BOYLAN~~~~~+++~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~+*****
Paul was born in the original John Boylan farmhouse, to Arch and Clara Wilhelm Boylan. He was just 9 years and 10 months old when his father died in August of 1933, of a mosquito bite which transmitted an encephalitis virus.
For years Paul, his older brother Johnny, and their younger sister Jo attended the one room Boylan School on a country road just outside of the small river town of Chillicothe. Their great grandfather who they never knew, Patrick O'Boylan of Dublin Ireland, had settled in Chillicothe in 1850, and had paid to have the school built for the area's farm children, many of them Irish descended. The Boylan siblings had a long walk through the corn and wheat fields, and many adventures through the seasons and the years. There was one farm in particular that the children were afraid to pass by, as it was the home of a mean old bull that had chased them on one occasion. One school chum was D. Richard Schaffner (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=52117827)
With the assistance of his older brother Johnny, who quit school at 15 when their father Arch Boylan died, and worked in a Peoria foundry to pay the tuition for his younger brother, Paul graduated from the Spaulding Institute, a boys Catholic highschool in Peoria, Illinois.
Paul joined the Navy in 1942, and was one of our brave sailors in the South Pacific sea battles of World War II. On an island there in the middle of the war, he participated in a joyful reunion with his older brother Johnny, who was in the Marine Corps. The two brothers survived the war unscathed, returning to their widowed mother Clara's new home in Los Angeles.
Paul met and married his wife Corrine Harper in Los Angeles in 1947, and they were happily married for 54 years. They had two sons, two granddaughters, and a grandson who was a United States Marine from 2005-2014. They also had one great-granddaughter who they got to see grow up.
