"Among the kinfolk I have yet to find one fault-finder (concerning Hayes's inauguration). Even Uncle John [Boggs] says he is glad"
Phebe McKell, Chillicothe, to Lucy Webb Hayes, March 13, 1877.
"Today Lucy and Adda [Cook Huntington] go to Pickaway and Ross Counties to attend the funeral of John Boggs, uncle by marriage of Lucy and Adda. He was about 76 years of age. A man of business ability, wealthy; with wit and humor, far beyond the average. Good company; a staunch Democrat; voted once for me! I shall miss him greatly on my visits to Lucy's kinsfolk"
