CHARLES EUGENE BOSS: My paternal ggrandfather was Charles Eugene BOSS who married Cornelia TODD. They may have originated from the New England states. I believe they had 7 sons: Arthur, Clarence and Horace, my grandfather, are the only names I know. We have a picture of my grandfather and his brother Clarence when they were young men. I also remember my mother and dad corresponding with Arthur. There is a possibility he moved to California. He use to live in the Sioux City Iowa area. My grandfather was born July 24, 1887 and died July 23, 1957. Family legend says we were descended from King William of Orange from Holland. Does anyone have any info that can help me on the Charles and Cornelia connection. Please contact Barbara L. BARTHOLOMEW at bbartholomew@actionnet.net
