CHARLES F. BOSLEY (deceased) was a prominent and popular citizen of his
native county of Washington, born September 23, 1814, the child of Gideon
and Elizabeth (Fleece) Bosley. His paternal ancestors were of German
descent, and came to Kentucky from Maryland in an early day. His father
was a soldier in the war of 1812, and was one of the successful farmers of
Washington County. He was reared on the farm, receiving a very ordinary
education. Upon the death of his father he took charge of the farm, and
the maintenance and support of the family devolved upon him. At the age of
twenty-two he was united in marriage with Eudotia B. Barbour, a most
estimable lady; she died after their union had continued for a period of
about thirty years, and August 8, 1866, the nuptials of his marriage with
Margaret Steger Baker were celebrated; to the latter union four children
were born, of which three are now living: Charles F., now attending
Vanderbilt University; Lizzie and Lillie. With the exception of four years
spent in the mercantile business at Springfield, he followed farming
continuously all his life, meeting with flattering success; he owned a
large number of slaves. Mr. Bosley served as sheriff of Washington County
for several terms during the trying times of the Rebellion and immediately
subsequent. and proved an able, active vigilant and efficient officer. He
was a Christian and died October 23, 1882, a devout believer in the faith
of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
