Boyd Cannon Kohler ^{1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10}

  Burial Notes:

Boyd's 1st wife, Sara, is buried alongside of his parents at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Dillsburg, PA with the single gravestone giving the names of the parents, Sara, and Boyd's name. However, the monument was erected before the death of Boyd and therefore his date of death was left blank. Boyd eventually remarried and moved to Lancaster where he worked in the Veterans Hospital. When he died in 1958 he was buried locally in Lancaster at Conestoga Memorial Park. Thus the gravestone at Dillsburg where his name appears has no date of death and only his parents and 1st wife are actually buried there.
