Wyse Family Century Farm Heads Toward 100-Year Mark
A 53 acre Wayland land parcel in the northeast corner marks a century of Wyse family ownership. John Wyse purchased it in 1864 for 800 dollars, with the current owners Mr and Mrs Clair Boshart and their son Roy Boshart farming as a turkey operation. The 1864 deed was handled by Warren’s attorney Jackson Allen and witnessed by Justice W A Frank. The land remained in the Wyse line through 1883 and 1925, with the farm house still on site. The Bosharts acquired the property in 1939 and have owned it since, as April 12 1964 marks the centennial of the original purchase.
