Marriage photo for Mary Jane Behymer

Photo is the marriage photo for Mary Jane Behymer and her third husband, Gilbert Miller. The couple in the back is believed to be Mary's daughter, Ider Eller Morris and her first husband, Richard D. Boatright. Source: Sharon Iorio


I Sharon Iorio have a copy of a Petition for Divorce between R. D. Boatright, Plaintiff vs. petition in equity, Debbie Boatright, defendant. Filed at Bell County, Ky. Circuit Court and dated Aug 11, 1917. Judgement Box 363. No. 11228, file #2. J.L. Reeder, atty for Plff. The plaintiff R.D. Boatright, states that he and the defendant Debbie Boatright were married to each other in March, 1909; that Plaintiff resides in Bell County, Kentucky, and has continuously resided there for more than one year last past; that the cause for divorce hereinafter set out occurred in the state of Kentucky, and within five years next before the institution of this suit.

Plaintiff says that he and the defendant lived together from their said marriage until the month of March 1910, at which time the defendant without fault or like fault on plaintiff's part, the defendant abandoned him and his and her home and has since time failed to return to him and still refuses so to do; that said abandonment as aforesaid has more than one years duration and continuous and he and she have not lived together nor cohabited since the separation aforesaid. The plaintiff further states that the defendant is a non-resident of the State of Kentucky, and is now absent therefrom and that he does not know the name of the Country where she resides or may be found and that he does not know the name of the place wherein a post office is kept nearest to where the defendant resides or may be found....... Subscribed and sworn to before me by R.D. Boatright, this the 11 day of August, 1917.

Debbie Boatright is warned to appear within 30 days and answer Petition...... Depositions filed in open court, Oct. 9, 1917. W. T. Davis testifies. He has known R.D. for 6 yrs. He states R.D. was kind and good to his wife Debbie and she just got tired of him and walked off and left him. (This is all I, Sharon Iorio, received from the file).

I do have the marriage record of Richard and my grandma Ida Eller Morris. Jackson County, Ky Bond/Licenses Book 18 A page 21. License and Marriage on same date. Married on 17 Sept 1914. Groom; R.D. Boatright, resides in Pansy, Ky. He is age 23 and born in Harlin County, Ky. Bride; Ider Ellar Morris is age 17 (she was actually about 14 years old) and born Jackson County Ky., and resides in Sand Gap, Ky. Grooms parents are J.P. Boatrite and Sarah. Wife's parents are Kimber Morris and Mary Jane Behymer. R.D. worked Rail Roading, Ida does House Work. Minister is D.H. Baker. Witness' present are Morgan Neeley and Mack Hays.

This marriage ended in divorce. Divorced before 1918. Ider was murdered in 1930 by her second husband.

Richard registers for The Draft in 1918 and his third wife is Lucy.

He married NELLIE DYER PENN 16 Oct 1907 in Crawford County, Arkansas. She was born 30 Nov 1884 in Bonham, Fannin County, Texas.


Notes for WILLIAM VOLNEY BOATRIGHT:

William Volney Boatright was born near Alma, Arkansas, and was the son of William Newton Boatright and Eugenia Garner, the second child in a family of ten children.

William finished the Van Buren schools in 1895 and enrolled in the Arkansas Industrial University in Fayetteville. After 3 1/2 years, he had to drop out for lack of money. He held several low paying jobs in the area until 1902 when he was appointed Chief Deputy of the Crawford County Sheriff's Office by Sheriff Jim Pitcock. He also served in this capacity under Sheriff Bill Garrett.

In 1904 his father died, leaving the mother with six minor children. "This sad bereavement placed the family responsibility on me, " he recalled, and he began to look for increased income.

In 1906 he was elected County Clerk and served two terms. Upon the completion of his second term, he established a general real estate business in Van Buren and was quite successful. He was one of the organizers of the Van Buren Trust Company in 1911 and served as director until 1913 when the company was consolidated with Citizen's Bank, where he also served as a director. In 1919 he was elected vice-president and remained in this position until 1934 when he was appointed District Supervisor of the Home Owner's Loan Corporation. He was also associated with several other mortgage-lending institutions beginning in 1939.

In 1940 he moved his family across the river to Fort Smith.

In the early years of his marriage, William was a member of the First Baptist Church in Van Buren while his wife attended the Wood Memorial Christian Church. William eventually joined the Christian Church and after the move to Fort Smith, he and his wife joined the First Christian Church in that city. William served at various times as Deacon, Trustee, Elder, and Elder Emeritus.

One thing I remember my mother saying is that, "No man ever sat a horse like Billy Boatwright", who she said referred to her grandfather, William Volney Boatwright. But, I believe that she was in error thinking that he was her grandfather. William Volney Boatwright was her mother's older brother, and her grandfather, William Newton Boatwright died before my mother was born. The story above of William Volney Boatwright explains how my mother could have been so wrong - William Newton Boatwright died young, and William Volney Boatwright sort of raised his younger brothers and sisters, so my mother must have assumed that he was her grandfather, when she related the oral family tree to me around 1999.
