Is it possible she was first married to a Henry J Boatman who at some point after 1906 died (perhaps traumatized at the loss of the young children and the explosion death of the teenage son) and then she married Harry C Boatman? Or are there two Abbie J Boatmans? ????????? Or are Henry and Harry actually one and the same????? I haven't found a death listing in the Lancaster newspapers for Henry J. and don't see a grave stone for a Henry J Boatman. ?????
