Hayden B. Boggess (1897-1973)

Hayden B. Boggess was born in February 1897, presumably in Henderson County, Kentucky.  He was the second of seven children Edmond Dargan Boggess & Sarah Agnes Terrill, and ultimately the second of eight children born to Edmond.  Hayden was raised as the son of a clergyman, and thus moved several times with his family during his youth.

Hayden was a veteran of the First World War, having enlisted for service on June 4, 1918.  He was released one year later on August 18, 1919.

In 1920, Hayden was living with his parents in their home on Poplar Street in Sacremento, McLean County, Kentucky.  He was working as a salesman at a dry goods store at that time.  

In 1930, he was working on his father’s farm in Greenville, Muhlenberg County.  Hayden lived with his parents at least until 1930. 

Hayden married Ruby L. Allen around 1934 in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.  He was about 37 years old and she was around 30 years.  Ruby was born on March 24, 1904 in Court House, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, the daughter of Louis B. Allen and Nannie Craig.

Hayden and Ruby were the parents of five children:

Walton L. Boggess              born November 10, 1935
Franklin T. Boggess            born August 22, 1937
Daisy Nell Boggess             born August 12, 1939
Mary Belle Boggess            born August 12, 1939
Wilma J. Boggess                born December 28, 1941

After their marriage, Hayden and Ruby made their home in Greenville, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.  They were living near the family of Ruby’s brother, Wendell, in 1940.  Hayden was working as a salesman at a general store at that time.

Hayden B. Boggess died on February 26, 1973 in Greenville, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.  He was buried in the Bivins Cemetery in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.  Hayden died two weeks after his 76th birthday. 

Ruby L. Allen Boggess died fifteen years after the death of her husband.  Ruby died on August 7, 1988 in Greenville, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.  She was laid to rest beside her husband in the Bivins Cemetery in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.  Ruby was 84 years old at her death.
