Obituary appearing in the Cambridge City Tribune dated 13 May 1920; - Daniel Boyer, son of Daniel and Rosana Boyer. He was born at East Germantown, IN on August 25, 1843, and departed this life at his home in this city on May 7, 1920, at the age of 76 years,
8 months and 12 days. His boyhood was spent in the vicinity of his birth until May, 1862, when
he enlisted in the Sixteenth Indiana infantry and was honorably discharged at the close of the Civil war three years later. He was badly wounded
at the battle of Richmond, Ky., and was deprived of active duty several, months. After the. war he moved to Iowa, where he was united by marriage to
Adaline Laukios. To this union eight children were born, two of whom preceded him in death. The living are Mrs. Belle Craig of Jacksonburg, John of Kansas, Arthur, Alice and Reko of Liberty, and Stephen of Rushville.
From Iowa he moved to Washington and thence to Oregon City, Oregon, where his wife died 27 years ago. He then returned here with his family and took service with James A. Boyd as a farmer until physically incapacitated several years ago. Beside his 6 children and 17 grandchildren, he leaves two sisters, Mrs Elizabeth Oldaker of Germantown and Mrs Rebecca Swinn of Richmond, and one brother Chas, Boyer of Galesburg, Ills. Mr. Boyer lived the simple life and
believed in honesty and truthfulness. Saturday night. the W, R. O. went to the home of Mrs. Mettert where he lived, and recited their pretty service
for the dead. Sunday morning the soldiers of the World war accompanied the remains-to the Lutheran church at Germantown, where brief services were held by Rev. Wolf and wife assisted by Mrs. Clarence Ingerman
and Mrs. Geo.. Babcock. The commitment was in the adjoining cemetery. For him taps have
-sounded. Beneath the overarching sky, from whose blue field, bright stars and beautiful
colors comes our heaven-born flag, which he so gallantly defended, he is forever at rest.

What a beautiful well maintained little cemetery. One will immediately note numerous unusual names and a real sense of peace while on site. Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, established in 1900 sits to the south of the cemetery.
