INDEX

[N4671] In 1933 tragedy struck the family when his Steven Jr. mother Lena died of complications from a goiter. Unable to care for five young children and financially support the family during the Depression, Boda's father Stephen Sr. took them to the Indiana Soldiers' and Sailors' Children's Home in Knightstown, about 40 miles east of Indianapolis. Though their father occasionally would visit, the children became wards of the state.
