Born February 13, 1847, where he resided until the spring of 1865. He was educated in the common schools, at the California Academy at California, Pennsylvania, and graduated at Duff’s Commercial College, in Pittsburg. After leaving school he was employed by a mercantile firm in Pittsburgh, where he remained one year. He then engaged as traveling salesman for the firm of Adams & Co., remaining in this business three years, and during that time traveled in twenty different states. He came to Russell, January 1, 1870, and engaged in the milling business. He purchased the interest of his partner, Mr. Morgan, in 1871, and continued in that business two years. He then sold his mill and formed a partnership with Mr. George W. Plotts in the grain business. This is the only firm in the city that deals exclusively in grain, consequently they have an excellent trade, and deserve it. Mr. Boggs was married December 16, 1867, to Miss Martha E. Ferry. Mr. Boggs represented Lucas County in the Twentieth General Assembly, 1884. He was a Republican.
