Littlestown Pioneer Henry Boyer Dies After Illness
Henry Boyer aged 180 long known as a gold digger died at his Littlestown home from a complication of diseases after refusing medical aid. He traveled from Adams County to California during the gold rush, later to Alaska to stake a Klondike claim, returning to own property and farms in the area. He was known for not wearing a coat, preferring a broad brimmed hat and large boots. He is survived by his sister Mrs. Josephine Spangler of Pennville.
