Additional Inscription:
A precious one from us has gone
A voice we loved is stilled:
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given.
And though the body slumbers here
The soul is safe in Heaven.

Francis M. Boatman was the first Postmaster of Vernon, Colorado, ZIP Code 80755, established in 1892.

Francis Marion Boatman married Mary Eliza Isreal, the fourth child of seven, of John Edmundson Israel and Emily Jane Gribbens, on December 21, 1865, recorded in Schuyler Co., Missouri. Following the death of Francis, Mary applied for a government pension which was granted. When she remarried, the pension was revoked. There were no children. We seek the name of her second husband.
