JAMES C. BOGGS is a farmer and fruit raiser of the Hood River valley, residing about three miles south from Hood River. He was born in North Carolina, on March 3, 1849, the son of Joseph and Mary (Wyant) Boggs. The father was born in North Carolina and his parents were natives of Virginia, coming from old colonial families. Various members of the family were in the Revolutionary War, among which was our subject's grandfather. His great grand-father bought a Bible in South Carolina which is now owned by our subject and is probably over two hundred years old. There is no date on it. The family were all planters. The father died in Marion county, Illinois, in 1884. The mother of our subject was born in Pennsylvania and descended from a Dutch family. She now lives in Marion county, Illinois. There James C. completed his education and remained with his father until twenty-five years of age. Then he worked at various occupations until 1889, when he came to the Hood River valley and bought fifteen acres of fine fruit land. Since then he has sold seven acres and still handles the place, three acres to strawberries and the rest to various crops.
On December 10, 1874, in Marion county, Illinois, Mr. Boggs married Miss Martha McIntosh, a native of Marion county, Illinois. Her father, Tilton McIntosh, was born in Tennessee and married Lucy A. Mercer, a native of Illinois. He died soon after marriage and his widow then married Andrew Copple in Marion county, whose father, Simpson Copple, lives in the Hood River valley and is mentioned in this volume.
On June 10, 1888, in Marion county, Illinois, Mrs. Boggs was called away by death. She left a family of three children, the oldest Grace, ten years of age. Mr. Boggs took up the burdens of life bravely after the departure of his wife and has raised his family and made a good showing with his labors. He has now three children living: Grace, wife of Arthur Getchell in the Hood River valley; Rosie, keeping house for her father; and Harvey.
Mr. Boggs is a member of the Christian church of which also his wife was a devoted member for sixteen years. They have three children who died in infancy, Ivy, Scott and an infant unnamed.

JAMES C. BOGGS AND FAMILY 1889
James Boggs was born in North Carolina March 3, 1849. His grandfather and other members of his family fought in the Revolutionary War. His mother was born in Pennsylvania and was of Dutch descent. His father was a native of North Carolina but his father's parents were from Virginia and descendants of old colonial families, all being planters by occupation. The parents of James Boggs moved to Illinois when he was small and it was there he received his education and grew to maturity working on his father's farm until 1874 when he married Martha McIntosh and started for himself. His wife was a native of Illinois, a daughter of Tilton McIntosh from Tennessee and Lucy A. (Mercer) McIntosh.
After his marriage Mr. Boggs remained in Illinois near his early home working at various occupations. Six children were born to them, three dying in early childhood.
In 1884 his father died and on June 10, 1888 his wife passed away leaving three children, Grace, Rose and Harvey to the care of the father. Grace, the oldest, and at the time of her mother's death, was only ten years of age. Bravely the father took up the double duty. Mr. and Mrs. Boggs were members of the Christian church and the children were raised in that faith. Mr. Boggs was the owner of a Bible purchased in South Carolina by his great-grandfather nearly two-hundred years before. This was a highly prized heirloom in their family. In 1889 Boggs moved to Hood River purchasing fifteen acres three miles south of the town; this land was planted to strawberries and other fruits and well repaid its owner for his toil.
Harvey was unfortunate while out skating one day, alone; falling and breaking his leg. He was found by neighbors and recovered. The children all grew to maturity commanding the respect and esteem of all.
