Deceased Name: SPEC. JOHN BOLIVER JR.

Spec. John Boliver Jr., one of the 13 area soldiers killed in the Scud missile attack Monday in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, will be buried with full military honors tomorrow in Monongahela, Washington County.

Boliver, 27, of Park Avenue in Monongahela was employed as a skilled maintenance man in the Baptist Home, a Mt. Lebanon nursing center.
He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1983 and served at Fort Hood, Texas, and in Frankfurt, Germany, until 1986.

Boliver was a member of the Riverside Tabernacle in Forward Township.

He is survived by his wife, Paula J. Anders Boliver, a 2-year-old son, Matthew John, and a 1-year-old daughter, Melissa Lynn; his father and stepmother, John and Virginia Boliver of Elizabeth; his mother and stepfather, Shirley Martin Burton and Robert Burton of Large; his paternal grandmother, Hilda Albright of Athens, Tenn., several stepbrothers and stepsisters.
