Calvin Booz was born November 22, 1849, probably in Hancock County, the son of James Booz and Caroline Yetter.

Rebecca and Calvin were married on February 1, 1872, by Rev. Thomas M. Walker, the minister located in the Fountain Green area who, over the years, performed hundreds of marriages for local residents. Marriage Documents

In 1880 they were residents of LaHarpe Township, Hancock County, and had three little girls, Eva, Sadie and Daisy.  By 1900, their family complete - seven children all alive and thriving, they were farming in nearby Henderson County, Terre Haute Precinct.  Counted in the household that year was Ed Gosney, whom Daisy would soon marry.

Eva had married a local boy, Robert Blythe, in 1893, and they would be long-time residents of Hancock County.  In 1894 Sadie became the wife of C. Elmer Hammond from Smith County, Kansas.  They remained in Hancock County for a couple of years, then moved to Smith County.  It would be interesting to know the sequence of family events, because sometime between 1900 and 1910, Calvin, Ellen and their unmarried children also left Hancock County and relocated to Smith County.

Ellen died September 20, 1927, presumably in Kansas.  At 80, widowed, Calvin was making his home with his fourth daughter, Marguerite, and her husband in Lawrence Township, Osborne County, Kansas.  Calvin died after April 1, 1930.  Calvin and Ellen are buried at Fairview Cemetery, Osborne County, near Portis, amidst children and extended family.
