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.

Notes:

(Research):Death date 1 Mar 1855 - don't know where I got it, but it doesn't seem likely, since he can't be found in the 1840 census or the 1850 census.

William Debard on Sumner Co Tn tax records 1817; in 1819 Sumner co TN find Solomon Debord. William Deboar on 1790 census Stokes Co NC, could be the father of William Deboard b 1769. Hurshel Debord believes that William DeBoor or Doboard or Deboard (pg 551) was the father of William, Benjamin, John, George, and Solomon. All went to White Co except George.

smith@wworld.com Shirley Smith: "Anyway, I don't remember what I told you originally, but my husband is the great, great, great grandson of William and Lidda DeBoard. Twice! Their daughter, Mary married Richard Smith approximately 1810. (My husband's great great grandparents).They were married in TN before the families moved to IL.€ The rest of the children were married in White Co., IL with the exception of Solomon.€ (I do not know where he was married.)€ William and Lidda€ had two daughters named Mary.€ The first one as I said married Richard Smith.€ The second one, Mary Salinda married Jonathan Yates.€ " Hurshel DeBoard (HLDebord@aol.com): "There were four Debords that moved to White Co IL between 1818 and 1825. These were 1) William, born about 1769 (wife Lydia), 2) John Debord b 1770/80 in NC, married Jean Kilbe on 19 April 1804 in Wilkes Co, NC with Wm DeBoard as bondsman; and 4) Solomon DeBoard born about 1790, married Margaret Franklin on 9 March 1818 in Sumner, TN. I believe they were all brothers, but I have no proof of this, and have no idea who their parents could have been. Some researchers say Solomon was a son of Wm born 1769, but the census record would not support that. The census records would indicate that William and Lydia had one son (Robert, that married Elizabeth Bolerjack) and at least 6 daughters. The trouble is there were at least 12 DeBoard girls that married in White co IL before 1840, and all 12 girls have been assigned to Wm and Lydia by some researchers. Some of these DeBord girls were obviously daughters of John and Bejamin Debord, but I don't know which is which.

William married Lydia Forrester about 1792 in North Carolina, USA. Lydia (daughter of John Dogens Forrester and Mary "Molly" Jollett) was born on 22 Aug 1775 in Culpeper County, Virginia, USA; died on 10 Apr 1847 in Illinois, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
