Earle Montrose Boggess, Jr. was born on December 16,
1896 in Excelsior Springs, Clay County, Missouri. He was the sixth of
nine children born to Earle
Montrose Boggess & Hattie A. Gaugh.
Earle registered for the draft for World War I on June 5, 1918 in Newkirk, Kay County, Oklahoma. He was working for the Empire Ref. Company in Ponca City, Oklahoma. He was 5’ 10” tall and weighed 140 pounds, with blue eyes and light hair. He was a veteran of the First World War.
On May 12, 1926, Earle married Genevieve H. French in Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri. He was 27 years old and she was 22 years. Earle’s brother, Montrose, witnessed the marriage.
Genevieve was born around 1903 in New York State, the daughter of Dr. Frank Dale French and Marie Frances Henry. In the 1920 US Census, Genevieve’s parents are listed as being born in France; however, Frank and Marie were listed as having been born in Iowa. I wonder if she was adopted, as she was not listed in the 1910 US Census in the household of Frank French.
Earle and Genevieve were the parents of two children:
