Henry married Marcilla Vitura Deboard on 17 May 1883 in Howell County, Missouri, USA. Marcilla (daughter of Joel Franklin "Franklin" Deboard and Margaret Ann "Ann" McKenzie) was born about 1861 in White County, Illinois, USA; died after 1901. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• RESEARCH: Was Marcilla's first husband the Luther Benton Taylor who was hung for murder in Clay Co ARK on 4 September 1880? --Marcilla married "L. B. Taylor" 14 September 1880. (Filed 28 January 1881.) --In 1880 Howell County, Chapel township, a Luther B. Taylor, age 22, is found in the census home of his sister, Martha (Taylor) Crowder. --Marcilla Deboard was enumerated in the same township, just one page prior. --Luther Taylor's 1860 and 1870 census also indicate his birth around 1857-58 in Arkansas. --The Luther "Bent" Taylor who was hung for murder in Clay Co ARK was profiled in an article in the New York Herald the next day. Although clearly histrionic, the article mentioned that he was born in Clay County, Arkansas, in 1857; that he went at some point to "Southern Missouri" and additionally mentions Howell and Douglas Counties specifically; that he "married a fair girl, and for a time was happy and contented". --At the time of the murder he was riding with two other men, Riley Black whom he was said to murder and another man named William Mulholland. --Luther Benton Taylor had an older half brother named Riley J. Taylor, both seen in the 1860 Howell Co census home of their father, John Taylor. --In 1880 Riley J. Taylor is found living in Clay County, Arkansas, and William Mulholland is in his household. --Marcilla married Henry Meyers in Howell Co in May 1883, suggesting that her first husband was likely dead.

Obituary, Joel Franklin DeBoard
From the Mountain View Standard

August 15, 1919

REV. J. FRANKLIN DEBOARD - Uncle J. Franklin Deboard was born in White county, Illinois, July 13, 1836, and died June 15, 1919. He toiled along in this old troublesome world for 83 years, 11 months, and 2 days. He was wonderfully saved at the age of 16, and united with the M.E. church. He united in marriage August 26, 1858, to Margaret A. McKinsey, who was a faithful wife and helpmate, being converted to Jesus Christ in her 15th year. She still waits and mourns his departure. To this union were born thirteen children, seven girls and six boys. Five boys and two girls still are waiting their departure when they shall join their father and loved ones who have crossed on over the tide. Two girls, Mrs. J.H. Goodman and Mrs. W.L. Beard, and S.S. Deboard, live north of Chandler, Okla., and two boys, A.L. and R.H. Deboard, and two other sons, A.E. and L.L. Deboard, still live near Mountain View. Rev. Deboard was licensed to preach in the M.E. Church in 1860. He volunteered in the union army in August, 1861, and made a good soldier for three years, being honorably discharged in August, 1864. He left Illinois and came to Howell county in 1876, where he lived until his death. Shortly after arriving in Missouri he united with the Congregational church and was ordained to preach. 'Uncle Franklin' as he was called, was not a great preacher as some call great, but was one in whom everyone had confidence. He was always on hand at preaching services, prayer meetings, and Sunday school to do what he could for the Lord and the church. He was not only a preacher, but was one of the best Sunday school class leaders in the church. He was present to marry young people and also to bury the dead. 'Uncle Franklin' was well known and loved by both young and old. Especially was he loved by the host of grand-children, there being thirty-seven grandchildren and twenty-three great-grandchildren. Truly it was a shock, and we are grieved to lose him as husband, father, grandfather, neighbor and church worker. But our loss is his gain, so we say 'Amen' to the Father of Lights who doeth all things well. His grandson, Rev. Franklin N. Deboard.

Joel married Margaret Ann "Ann" McKenzie on 21 Aug 1858 in White County, Illinois, USA. Margaret (daughter of Alexander H. McKenzie and Margaret "Peggy" Vineyard) was born on 24 Jan 1841 in Mt. Vernon, Jefferson County, Illinois; died on 6 Jul 1933 in Benton Township, Howell County, Missouri; was buried in Mountain View-Center Hill Cemetery, Howell County, Missouri.
