CALVIN O. BOYER, a successful agriculturist of Perry township, Shelby county ,Ohio, where he manages the old Lucas, farm of fifty acres and his own farm of thirty-two acres, known as the Locust Grove farm, was born March 31, 1873, in Dinsmore township,Shelby county. He is a son of Samuel Fisher Boyer and his first wife, Emma (Botkin) Boyer.
Samuel Fisher Boyer was a general farmer in Dinsmore township and a man of standing in his community. His first wife died October 24, 1878, and her burial was in Dinsmore township.
His second marriage was to Clara Botkin and children
were born to both unions, four to the first and eight to the second: Calvin 0. And Melvin, twins; Charles, Stanley, Clarence, Edith, Ida, Willard, Herbert, Alvin, Vernon and Thelma. Of the above all survive except Edith. Ida is the wife of William Metz.

For eight years prior to coming on the farm he was in the employ of the Sheets Manufacturing Company. Mr. Boyer is thoroughly interested in an agricultural life and devotes close attention to his industries here, raising excellent crops and a sufficiency of stock for his own use.
