September, 1917

Submitted by:  Billy Edwards

Notice that Mr. Boyers did not have hands.  Did he actually get elected?

The following information was provided by Frances Limozaine:

Thanks for the picture Barry, we lived next door to Mr. Boyers when I was in grade school. We were very curious as you might understand. He typed using his teeth, had one leg that was normal, the other just a very short one with a foot. He drove a car and he always wore a short skirt (pleated I think) - quite a man.  My parents always used him as an example to us that anyone can do something if he tries! Thanks for the memory.
