Chris Boge, a german farmer living near Galesburgh, died last Friday.
This was all of the notice of Christopher Coist Boje's death. His last name is misspelled and they did not capitalize German, but the town of Galesburgh was spelled like that at the time of his death.
A big thank you to Cheryl (Brooks) White for finding this obituary~

Samuel Brown Magner's Mother-in-Law, Elvina Fritz
Elvina met and married Christopher "Chris" Coist Boje, but the year remains unclear. I will try to explain why the exact year is unknown.
On the 1930 Federal Census, Elvina answered the question as to her age of her 1st marriage and said she was 17. So I did a little math and came up with the year, 1865.
But her December 1938 obituary states she married Chris Boje in 1868. I will continue to search for an Illinois marriage license to learn the 'correct' year of marriage.
Regardless of the marriage year, they had six children. The 1900 Federal Census stated she had six children with five living in 1900. Their daughter, Minnie died in 1874 at the age of one year, two months and six days old.
Chris Boje gave land to build the town of Galesburg, Kansas on October 10, 1871.
The 1880 US Federal Census, Christopher (age 41) and family were living in Centerville, Kansas - Neosho County.
The 1915 Kansas State Census, Elvina (Fritz) Boje (66) and son, Will (35) were living in Galesburg, Kansas - Neosho County.
Elvina's husband, Chris died young at the age of 43 in 1881 leaving his wife to raise five children including Samuel Brown Magner's wife, Etta Mae Boje.
Etta was the daughter of Elvina FRITZ and Christopher Coist Boje. She was born February 4, 1891 in Thayer, Kansas - Neosho County. She met and married Samuel Magner and raised a family in Galesburg, Kansas - Neosho County.
2/23/2017 Update: A big thank you to Lisa VonLanken
Christopher Boje and Elvina Fritz were married on September 28, 1864 in Ottawa, Illinois - La Salle County. The bride was 16 and the groom was 26 years old.

Samuel Brown Magner
The Magner Farm is where three generations lived, loved and laughed. Lanville Milton Magner was the first Magner to purchase this 160 acre farm and additions were made to the house over the years until it was sold in 1980. It is located two miles east of Galesburg, Kansas and one mile south and three quarters east, on the north side of the road. Samuel Brown Magner purchased this 160 acre farm from his father, Lanville Milton Magner and his mother, Anna Mary (Taggart) Magner.
