Description
Portrait of Rush W. Boyer (left) with his brother, Lacy Alva Boyer (right), when both were very young. Their parents were George William (1880-1943) and Mary Lacy (Rush) (1885-1966) Boyer, from Woodstock. At least two other siblings died as infants.
When Rush W. Boyer registered for the WWII draft, he worked for Holmes & Son, Co. in Washington D.C. He served as a Corporal in the U.S. Army from 1942-1946. By 1950, he was in Fauquier County, married to Hedy Clementine (Williams) Boyer, and working as a mail carrier for the U.S. Post Office.
Rush re-enlisted in the military and served another two years (1950-1952). His wife died sometime after that and Rush married for the second time in 1961. At that time, he lived in Midland, Virginia, and worked as a Surveyor. His bride was also widowed. She was Rachel Lou Keathley, a secretary born in Sparta, Tennessee. Rush is buried in Culpeper, Virginia.
Lacy Alva Boyer graduated from Massanutten Military Academy (MMA) in Woodstock in 1933 and was an Army veteran of World War II. He married Margaret Wallace (Shields) Boyer (1918-2006) and had a son, George W. Boyer.
Lacy retired in 1980 as branch manager for Farm Credit. He lived in Woodstock most of his life and, through the years, was a member of Woodstock Presbyterian Church and the Woodstock Rotary Club, where he was president from 1957 to 1958 and received the Paul Harris Fellow Award in 1995. He also served as a board member of Shenandoah Memorial Hospital in Woodstock and Sunnyside Presbyterian Retirement Community.
