PLEASE NOTE: The area at Placerville Union Cemetery presently (2020) marked "No Man's Land" is the family cemetery of Emery A. Boles and Caroline Smith Boles family burials. (See map view shown under Photos.) It is NOT part of the original cemetery formed by the Fraternal organizations in 1871 and known as the Union Cemetery. Mr. Boles excluded the family's 20 square foot plot of land when he sold his residential property to Edwin Green in 1897. This exclusionary clause remained with the following deed between Mr. Green to Eliza Moon, Cora M. Davis and Arthur N. Davis.
Emery Allison Boles, Sr. came to California in the year 1853. His father, Alvy Boles, came to the state during the height of the Gold Rush and was enumerated on the 1850 Census in the Calaveras District, Calaveras County. A news item published in May of 1906 (Napa Weekly Journal, 5/4/1906) mentioned that E. A. MOUNT, of Napa, wrote a letter to E. A. Boles asking him if he was the same Emery Boles who arrived in San Francisco on the vessel Sierra in June of 1853. Mr. Boles said he was the same party, but did not remember Mr. Mount. Boles noted that the two were both boys, aged about nine years.
Emery's mother was Dorcas Price, a native of Ohio (b. abt 1813). As Mrs. Dorcas Boles, she was enumerated in Lafayette County, Wisconsin on the 1855 Wisconsin State Census which noted that there were 2 males and 2 females residing in her household. In March of 1859, Mrs. Boles married James Gordon Sr. in Iowa County, Wisconsin, where she later died in 1894.
The 1860 census of Yreka, Siskiyou County listed E. A. Bowles (sic) as 18 years of age and a native of Ohio. By the year 1870, he was residing in Genoa, Douglas County, Nevada with his brother Albert B. Boles. In 1880 he is residing in the same place but with wife Caroline Smith Boles and 1 year old son "Ernest" (image is indexed that way but this is likely Emery Allison Boles, Jr. as his year of birth is consistent with the age listed for "Ernest."
By 1884, an item in the Mountain Democrat about "The New Stable" on Main street opposite the Ohio House had been erected by J. C. Stephens. It also mentioned the improvements on the blacksmith shop by (Peter) Fox and (E. A.) Boles had given "that part of our town a fresh and prosperous appearance."
