Some History

JOHN BOAG ^[16], postmaster at Boardman,Pa,, and superintendent of Mines No. 2 and 3, for the Potts Run Land Company, in Knox Township. Clearfield County, is a reliable and experienced mine man and is well and favorably known all through this section of Pennsylvania. He was born in Scotland, March 14, 1858, and is a son of David C. and Margaret (Halbert) Boag. David C. Boag and wife were both born in Scotland and when they came to America in December, 1869, their five children accompanied them. They settled first at Arnot, Tioga County, Pa., and during their years of residence there, eight more children were added to the family. The mother and ten of the children still survive. The father died at the age of sixty-six years, while on a visit at Arnot, having previously removed to Glen; Richey, where he worked as a miner. He was a Presbyterian in his religions convictions and a Republican in his political views.

John Boag was about twelve years old when the family came to America and he had already laid the foundation of a good education and completed his period of school attendance at Arnot, Pa. Like his father he became a miner and when he came to Clearfield County, in 1892, it was as a mine foreman at Glen Richey, where he remained for four years, after which he was mine foreman for six years at Burnside. In 1902 he came to Boardman and accepted his present position as superintendent, serving as such ever since. Mr. Boag is not only a well qualified man in his special line of work but he is a representative citizen and while still living in Tioga County served as school director and as township clerk, being elected on the Republican ticket. Mr. Boag at present is identified with the Prohibition party. He is serving in his second term as postmaster at Boardman, the mail being received from Olanta or Mitchell by carrier.

Mr. Boag married Miss Jennie Patterson, a daughter of Henry Patterson, of Arnot, Tioga County, and they have seven children, namely: David C. and Harry P., both of whom are attending college, in preparation for professional life; John, who is general manager of the Boardman Supply Company store and assistant postmaster; and Elizabeth, Margaretta, William A., and Park. Mr. Boag and family are members of the Presbyterian churclh. He is identified fraternally with the Masons, the Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias. (Thanks to Nancy for finding this.)
