While doing research about persons listed as being buried at Owensburg Cemetery,
Owensburg, Indiana, in I have determined that "Daisy Moss Boruff, 1 st wife of
Rufo" is
not buried at Owensburg. She was never listed on the Owensburg Cemetery records to my
knowledge.
"Cemeteries of Eastern Greene Co., IND. 1994" (listed by Ruth Resler, Betty Cox,
Wilma Rollins, Dottie Parson, Joan Jacobs. October, 1993) and published by the Greene Co.
Historical Society listed "Daisy Moss Boruff, 1 st wife of Rufo" as being buried
at Owensburg.
This is what I have pieced together. If anyone has more information or corrections,
please let me know.
Daisy and Charles Wymer were married Dec 20, 1903 and were married almost 9 years when he
died Aug 20, 1912. Daisy Wymer married Rufo Boruff on 14 Jan 1916. She and Rufo were
married approximately 23 years when she died in 1939. Daisy shares a headstone with her
first husband, Charles Wymer, at Grandview Cemetery. Daisy's second husband, Rufo E.
Boruff, is buried at Owensburg Cemetery.
These are the places I found the above information:
