GEORGE BOYER
IDENTIFICATION ON PHOTO: "Geo. Boyer"
PHOTO TAKEN: Thomas Naughton Studio, Champaign ILL, circa 1880-85
PURCHASED: 2016 Hollywood Antiques, Eugene OR
The Thomas Naughton photographic studio was in operation at Champaign Illinois from at least the early 1870s. The lapels of this gentleman's jackets seem to fit in at about the early to mid-1880s.
There was a George Boyer married in Champaign IL in 1880. The marriage document states he was born in 1850; his father was William Boyer (1823-1850), his mother Hannah "Fannie" Mallory (1820-1874), and his bride was Anna Elizabeth Lytle (1858-1925).

The 1905 State census shows there is also an older son which was not present on the 1900 census, and that is George Burton BOYER (b. 1881). Subsequent Census records show there is also another daughter born in 1912, and she was named Mary Elizabeth BOYER.
I found this other photograph of George Boyer online on a family tree at Ancestry.com, and it is clearly the same man, just older. I will contact that account owner to see if they'd like to have this photograph in their family's collection.
