England

The English surname Boulter is of occupational origin, belonging to that group of surnames derived from the trade or profession of the original bearer.  In this case the surname traces its root to the Old French term "buletiar", meaning a "sifter of meal"; the original bearer would thus have been one employed at a mill to sift meal or flour prior to its being bagged.  He may also have been employed at the bakehouse of a nobleman or abbey; in the ordinances of the household of Henry VI in 1455 appears a reference to "six grames bulters" ("six grooms boulters") who were officers of the Bakehouse.

The surname is documented as early as the mid-thirteenth century when one Roger le Boleter is recorded in the Chartulary of Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire, in the year 1246; the same gentleman is noted in subsequent references as Roger le Buletar (1248) and as Roger le Bolter (1253).  Another Roger le Boletere was employed at Oriel College, Oxford and appears in records of the College in 1261.  One Geoffrey le Bolter is noted in the Hundred Rolls of Berkshire in 1276, while one Richard le Boltere of Norfolk and John le Boltere of Huntingdonshire are recorded in the same sources.  The surname is known to have arrived in America at an early date; one Thomas Boulter dwelt at Weymouth in 1661 while one Nathaniel Boulter resided at Hampton around 1685.  The arms illustrated above were first awarded in 1720 to Dr. Hugh Boulter, Bishop of Bristol, later Lord Primate of Ireland.

Donald C. Boulter's paternal ancestor, Nathaniel Boulter, came from rural Hertfordshire near Worcestershire, England, in 1790, to Montreal, Quebec, Canada.  Nathaniel, who was a tanner and currier, made an acquaintance of a young woman on the voyage to Montreal with whom he fell in love.  They were married upon landing at Montreal, where they settled down.  They had one son, George Boulter, in 1800.

George left Montreal in 1819 and moved west to the the Big Island (a penisula in the northwest corner of Lake Ontario), where he settled on lot 13.  The land at that time belonged to the Mississagas, and he had to pay them a barrel of flour as rental annually.  After settling, he married Sarah Peck (born 1801), who received two hundred acres of land as a Crown Patent in Mariposa Township, Prince Edward County, Sophiasburgh, Ontario, from King George III because she was the daughter of a Unted Empire Loyalist.  This land later became known as the "Maples".  They were married by Rev. Robert McDowell, a pioneer Presbyterian minister.  George and Sarah had ten children before Sarah died in 1844.  After the death of Sarah, George married Letitia Wilson and they had eleven more children.  To date, George Boulter still holds the record of twenty-one children in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada.  Besides being a farmer, George was a Captain in the Sedentary Militia.  Later in life, George moved to Belleville, Ontario, where he died at the age of 83 in 1883.

Donald C. Boulter is a decendent of the eighth child of George Boulter and Sarah Peck, Wellington Boulter, who was born in 1838 at the "Maples" in Sophiasburgh, Ontario.  Wellington was a pioneer in many enterprises, outstanding of which was the Canned Goods Industry, which he established in Picton, Ontario, in 1882.  In 1887, Wellington sent the first car of canned goods across Canada over the Canadian Pacific Railroad to Victoria, British Columbia.  He was first president of the Canadian Packers Association for thirteen years and was the former mayor of Picton, Ontario.  In addition, he was Chairman and Orange Order and manager of the Loyal True Blue Orphanage in Picton.  At the request of the Canadian Goven- ment, Wellington sent an exhibit to Tokyo, Japan, and obtained the highest award.  He also obtained the Columbia Medal at the Worlds Fair in Chicago, 1893; gold medal Paris, 1900; at Glasgow Exhibition, 1901; th Pan American medal, 1901; and the silver medal at the Ontario Provincial Exhibition in Kingston, Ontario.  Wellington married Nancy Helen Sprague (born 1843 in Sophiasburg, Ontario) from the pioneer Sprague corn cutting and related farm implementation machine manufacturing family.  They had seven children.  Both Wellington and Nancy died in Picton.  Nancy in 1918 and Wellington in 1927.

Donald C. Boulter is a decendent Wellington Boulter and Nancy Sprague's child, Dr. Heber Reginald Boulter.  Heber was born in Picton, Ontario in 1861, and received his dental degree in Canada.  Heber moved to the United States and settled in Chicago, Illinois,  where he married a medial doctor, Dr. Ida May Gugar, who was born in Peoria, Illinois in 1866.  They were married and had one child, Clarence Reginald Boulter, who was born on July 7, 1889 in Chicago, Illinois.  Heber and Ida divorced in 1894, primarily because of a chemical addiction Heber had from writing his own presriptions.  After the divorce, Ida and Clarence moved to South Dakota where they stayed a few years before returning to Chicago.  Heber died penniless in 1930 at the Little Sisters of the Poor in Chicago, Illinois.  He is buried in a paupers grave in Oak Hill Cemetery, Alsip, Illinois.  Ida married a plumber named Cowden who later in life got Clarence into the plumbing business.  Cowden later on committed suicide with a hand gun.  Ida was a diabetic and died in Chicago, Illinois in 1929.

Donald C. Boulter's paternal grandfather is Clarence Reginald Boulter.  Clarence, nicknamed Jake the Plumber, married Ethel Mildred Anderson, known by all as Mildred (born November 16, 1894, in Chicago, Illinois), in 1916 in Chicago, Illinois.  Clarence was a journeyman plumber for the Chicago Plumbers Union Local 130 for over forty years.  During the 1920's, Clarence worked for a plumbing supply company as an estimator bidding on new jobs.  Prior to their marriage, Mildred worked retail and was a piano player in a nickelodean theater.  The 1930's depression left Clarence and Mildred out of work and penniless.  They unfortuately lost their home.  Clarence and Mildred had two children, LaVerne Minetta Boulter (born April 14, 1917) and Donald C. Boulter's dad, Marvin Hughitt Boulter (born July 29, 1921).  Both children were born in Chicago, Illinois.  LaVerne later on married Carmen Anthony Cerone and had one son, Kent Marvin Cerone on January 19, 1949.  LaVerne and Carmen both died of cancer in 1989 and 1994, respectively.  Clarence was diabetic and died of a heart attack on February 14, 1971, in Park Ridge, Illinois at the age of 81.  Mildred died of Alzheimers Disease on January 20, 1975, in Bridgeview, Illinois at the age of 80.

Like his father, Marvin Hughitt Boulter was a journeyman plumber for the Chicago Plumbers Union Local 130 for over forty years.  Marvin had two almost deadly diseases as a child that kept him out of school for two years.  Consequently, Marvin graduated from Calumet High School in 1941 at the age of nineteen.  After high school, Marvin attended the Art Institute of Chicago until World War II where he enlisted into the United States Coast Guard.  After basic training in Grand Haven, Michigan, Marvin was assigned to patrol the rivers near Joliet, Illinois.  Marvin met Eileen Mary Tertinger (born March 9, 1923 in Chicago, Illinois), who was also a graduate of Calumet High School in 1941 and attended Northwestern University.  Eileen lettered in volleyball and basketball at Calumet plus worked at her parent's bakery.  Later on, Eileen was a checker for Jewel Tea & Company for over 25 years.  Eileen almost died twice of bowel obstructions -- once as a child and again when Eileen was in her late twenties.

Marvin and Eileen were married on May 27, 1944.  The very next day, Marvin was assigned to the USCGS Eastwind and shipped out to Los Angeles, California.  The Eastwind sailed south out of Los Angeles, went through the Panama Canal, and ended up patroling the North Atlantic waters around Greenland and Iceland.  The Eastwind was an icebreaker assigned to destroy German U-Boats in the North Atlantic and intercept the German's radar weather station in Greenland.  At that time, the Germans used weather information from that station to plan air bombing raids on England.   Marvin, as part of the Eastwind's landing crew, captured the German's weather station, their radio code book and their ship, the Exterstine, which was frozen in the North Atlantic.  Since Marvin was also part of the Eastwind's motor crew, he was assigned to fire the Exterstines' boilers after the Eastwind cut the ice to free the ship.  However, the Captain of the Exterstine notified the Eastwind's Captain Thomas that a bomb had been place inside the boiler.  Another crew was sent from the Eastwind to the Exterstine to stop Marvin from firing the boilers.  The Eastwind was the only American ship to capture and sail a German ship back to the United States during World War II.  Marvin almost lost his life a second time when guarding the Eastwind on deck, a large wave almost swept him overboard.  When World War II ended, the Eastwind returned to Boston, Massachusettes and Marvin received an Honorable Discharge.

After World War II, economics caused Marvin to change his career from a commercial artist to journeyman plumber.  Marvin and Eileen have two children, Linda LaVerne Boulter (born September 14, 1947) and Donald Clarence Boulter (born June 24, 1954).  Both children were born in Chicago Illinois.  Linda married Robert Charles Rozhon on April 9, 1966 and they had one son, Robert Joseph Rozhon (born September 15, 1967).  Linda and Robert were divorced in 1979.  Linda then married Stephen Franke on January 23, 1983.  Steve died of a heart attack on March 31, 1987.  Linda married again to John Uhl on November 11, 1994.  Both reside in Plainfield, Illinois.  Marvin and Eileen lived most of their adult life in Oak Lawn, Illinois.  Today Marvin live in Orland Park, Illinois.  Eileen passed away from stomach cancer on May 7, 2005.  Marvin is still a member of the Oak Lawn Athletic Club and V.F.W. Post 5220 in Oak Lawn.  In addition, Marvin and Eileen were life long members of Trinity Lutheran Church in Oak Lawn and were actively involved in their senior citizens program.  Finally, Marvin teaches senior citizen art classes in Worth Township, Illinois.

As a child, Donald C. Boulter was actively involved in baseball, tennis, basketball and hockey.  His true passion has always been baseball and softball.  He graduated from Harold L. Richards High School in 1972.  Don lettered in tennis and played trumpet for of his high school's band and jazz band.  In addition, he was a member of the National Honor Society and Modern Music Masters.  After High School, he attended and graduated from Illinois State University in 1976 with a BS in Accounting, a BS in Business Administration, and a minor in Economics.   While in college, Don worked as a Teller at the First National Bank of Oak Lawn.  After graduation, Don was employed as an accountant at Teletype Corporation in Skokie, Illinois.  Don stayed at Teletype for three years before getting promoted as an auditor at Teletype's parent company, Western Electric in Cicero, Illinois.  Don stayed with Western Electric for three years and was promoted again to Western Electric's parent company, AT&T.  Don traveled extensively for AT&T as a systems and financial auditor before moving on to AT&T's engineering organization as a Repair Engineer for computer systems.  After this assignment, Don became a quality engineer, product manager and project engineer.  Don earned a MC in Project Management from George Washington University in 1997 while woking for Lucent Technologies Inc., the Western Electric and Bell Laboratories spin off from AT&T in 1996.  In addition, Don is a member of the Institute for Certification of Computer Professionals (ICCP) and has earned a Certified Computer Professional (CCP) and Certified Systems Professional (CSP) certifications.  Don retired from Lucent Technologies in July 2001 and is currently working from his home in Westmont, Illinois, and coaching his children's softball, baseball, basketball, soccer and volleyball teams.

Don met Kathleen S. Hejhal (born May 7, 1951, in Chicago, Illinois) while working at Teletype in 1977.  Kathy graduated from Schurz High School in 1969 and DePaul Univerity in 1977.  Kathy was forced into retirement by Lucent Technologies' Wireless Business Unit in November 2003 when her software development job was transferred to China as a cost reduction.  Don and Kathy were married on May 3, 1980, in Arlington Heights, Illinois.  They resided at Kathy's condominium until 1982 when they bought their home in Westmont, Illinois.  Don and Kathy have two children, Kristin Jennifer Boulter (born June 15, 1989) and Scott Daniel Boulter (born December 31, 1991).  Both children were born in Hinsdale, Illinois.  Kristin is a honors student and loves playing softball, volleyball and figure skating.  Scott also is a honors student and is three grades behind Kristin.  Scott loves baseball, basketball and volleyball.
