He was born in Fountain County, Indiana, Oct 5, 1836 and came to Barry County in 1894, and has lived here since. He enlisted in the Union army in the civil war and served in the Co. F. 40th Iowa Vol. Inf. After arriving at manhood, he was married and four children were born, three of whom are living; they are: Wm. Buoyer and Mrs. Henry Cooper of Monett and Miss Elizabeth Buoyer of Cassville. He had been sick since the first of December and it was though as warm weather retuned he would be better, but the summons came suddenly and unexpected.. He had been a member of the M. E. Church for fifty years and no doubt was a good man. The remains were laid to rest Thursday in Oak Hill Cemetery, there to await resurrection morn. Research Note: Listed as Bougher on census, his stone, and findagrave.com. Buoyer in the obit. Sometimes this surname is spelled Bouyer in Barry County. Civil War Veteran.
