CO., Sunshine and Mr. Boyington saw Chicago grow up from a small city of perhaps 46, 000 inhabitants to one of nearly two millions of people. and Illinois then had only one and a third million, less by several hundred thousand than Chicago today: while the en] tire coun‘try numbered only about twenty seven million as compared with over seventy million now. The period of his active life is thus seen :to cover a very eventful one in our history as a nation, commonwealth and, metropolis. From a small, in- waignificaht, unknown, inland -city, :Ghicago has become one of the tow ‘eommercial entres of the world, a symbol of t e century, the most re- markable of the ages. William W. Boyington, the well known architect and one of our old- 831. citizens. died Sunday morning, Oct. 16, 1898, at the age of 80 years and some months, having been born July 22, 1818. The place of his birth was Southwick, Maine. His early life was passed 1n Springfield, Marge, where in 1840; when 22 years 0111,3118 was one of the old original "Log Cabin" and "Tippecanoe” club members who worked. shouted and voted for Gen. Harrieon. It was in Springfield also that he married his wife, “ho ~~‘11r1i1'ee him Dec. 30, 183‘.) In 1853 they came toChieuuo where they made their home for 18 years. or till 1871_1\'hen the “big fire”drove them away. and they: moved to his old and long time home up at old Port Clinton. 501d a few years ago to William A. Alexander. As an architect Mr. Boyington had “a hand" in all this material develop- ment of Chicago and after the lire of 1871, we presume it would not be too much to say, that miles of new buildings were erected by him. Among some of those of hisconstruc- tive skill may be mentioned the fol~ lowing: The elegant Board of Trade. one of the finest of its kind in the land: the Sherman and old Grand Pacific hotels: the old Exposition building. the very best building for its purpose ever erected on this con~ tinent. We say that with a person- al knowledge of the big world ex- position buildings in Philadelphia, New Orleans. and Chicago and we know what an exposition building should be. The Royal Insurance building,r was one of his happy ideas of an office structure; The North- Western and Rock Island depots are his also; 0t c'hurclies we recall the First Baptist. First. Second and North Presbyterian, St Paul’s Uni» versalist. Centenary and Ada street Methodist, and We know not how many others. The state houses at Springfield and Madison are his also as was the Illinois building at the World's Fair: the prison at Juliet and the Masonic Temple. Wanke- gan. and ' these are only a tithe of his creations; There are he- tels. theatres and private residences in nearly every state in the Union from his fertile brain. Political plotâ€" tings only prevented his appointâ€" ment as National Architect by Presi- dent HarrisOn. an honor to which he Was fairly entitled, on political and professional grounds alike. He was mayor of this city for two terms. 1875-77. ' As above Suggested the wife of his youth Survives him with the most of their ten children and nearly twenty grand Children.
