died this after noon.
Edith (Warner) Boulard was not yet ten years old when she moved from New York to Michigan in 1865 with her parents. At the time of their arrival, Bowne Township was not much older than Edith herself. According to her obituary her family settled "in what was at that time mostly virgin forest."
Edith married Lewis Boulard on February 22, 1876, one day after her 19th birthday. Lewis had just turned 21 earlier that same month. Together they had three children; Percy, Jesse and Ethel.
On March 3, 1931, ten years prior to her death, Edith's husband Lewis passed away. Edith and Lewis are buried next to one another in the cemetery in Bowne Center.
