was for fourteen years pastor of the Presbyterian church in Cazenovia. He was born in Albany, N. Y., December 29,
1796, and was graduated from Union College in 1816 and at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1819. In 1821 he took
up a pastorate in Watertown, N. Y., which continued for sixteen years, at the end of which period he accepted a
call from a Rochester church, where he remained six years, with the exception of six months in 1842 when he labored
at Columbus, Ohio, in connection with a very marked revival of religion in that place. In 1843 he took charge of
the cburch of his denomination at Rome, N. Y., which he left in 1847 to enter upon a short pastorate at Cherry
Valley. He entered upon his long and fruitful pastorate in Cazenovia in 1850. Dr. Boardman was thrice married and
three children were born to him: Derick Lane, John, and George Brayton Boardman. His third wife, who survives him,
was Miss Sophia Ledyard Childs, of Cazenovia, a daughter of Hon. Perry G. Childs.
