Margaret Holligsworth somes him born in 1881, and census records also seem to indicate he was 7 years older than his wife, Ola. Kay Parker McCary's transcription of Rosevine Cemetery instead has his year of birth, presumably in error, as 1888.

Kary Parker McCary shows he married Ethel Marie Speir (1908-1964) who is also buried at Gravel Hill Cemetery. Did he also marry Nina Ethel Ludlow? She is shown as his spouse on FindAGrave, born 1894 Sabine County, died 1962, and buried int he Fairmount Cemetery. Nina Ethel is shown as a daughter of John L. LUDLOW, and she and Elisha are shown as the parents of Orval Valentine BOYETT (1919-1975), buried in Gravel Hill (Orval's Find A Grave Memorial Number is 81514854).
These families should be examined closely, as it is possible that the two Ethel's are being confused or conflated. To add to the confusion, Donley Burl Boyett, the brother of Elisha, is ALSO linked by FindAGrave to Ethel Marie Speir (1908-1964).

According to the SSDI, his last residence was Telegraph, Texas, Martha White found information from research prepared by the City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission that indicated Ernest J. Boyett purchased the town of Telegraph, Texas in Kimble County in 1944, and apparently held it until 1963. He was listed as a rancher and owned land in Kimble County in the vicinity of his mentor, former Texas Governor Coke Stevenson. His sister-in-law, Mary Bolt, operated the Telegraph Post Office from 1947 to 1950.

Services Scheduled Tuesday for aide to former governor
Services for Ernest J. Boyett, an executive secretary to former Gov. Coke Stevenson and a former sergeant-at-arms in the state House of Representatives, will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday at the First Baptist Church at Junction.
Boyett, a resident of Telegraph in Kimble County, died Saturday at the age of 78.
Born in Sabine County, he became a deputy sheriff in Kimble County and city manager in Junction.
In 1935, he moved to Austin and became the first full-time sergeant-at-arms in the House of Representatives under Stevenson, who was speaker. When Stevenson became governor in 1941, Boyett became his executive secretary, a position he held until 1946.
He served as acting sergeant-at-arms in the House of Representatives at the start of every session since 1935.
Boyett is survived by a son Jackson Boyett of Austin; a step-son, Ben Lindsey of Waco; and three sisters.
Bio from FindAGrave (courtesy of Martha Ann White)
One of 9 children born to Robert Edgar and Clarissa Abi Conn Boyett in East Texas. He moved to Junction, Texas where his only brother, Aaron Patrick Boyett, resided. His first marriage was to Sylvia Bolt and ended at her death in 1974. Ernest remarried on November 26, 1975 to Mrs. Frances Lindsey of Austin to whom he was married until his death. Mr. Boyett lived in Kimble County on his ranch that adjoined the of ranch of Coke Stevenson (Texas's World War II Governor). Boyett was the Mayor of Telegraph, Texas and in fact Boyett created Telegraph, Texas and got it on the map, literally. Telegraph consisted of Mr. Boyett's house, the Pink House, the General Store he owned and had a population high of 6! Mr. Boyett served as Governor Stevenson's Executive Secretary. Ernest was connected to a famous bit of Texas history - he was working for Gov. Stephenson when Stevenson ran for election to the United States Senate against President Lyndon B. Johnson. Gov. Stevenson was winning until Box 13 in Duvall County was found and the votes therein narrowly gave the election win to LJB. In addition, Boyett was Sargeant-of-Arms for the Texas House of Representatives. Finally, Mr. Boyett was the Public Relations Director for the Lone Star Book Depository a position he held for many years and until his death. Ernest was preceded in death by both parents, all but three of his siblings, and his first wife Sylia Bolt Boyett.
After he died there was a resolution from in the Texas Legislature honoring his years of service. This resolution can be viwed here:

Ruby Boyett Burkett writes that Ethel Dred Boyett was married three times: to Elizabeth Jane RUSSELL, by whom he had four children: Charlotte, Felix, William, and Eliza Ann BOYETT. He and Sarah SAUCER had six children. He and Nancy PORTER had another six children. He may have been married a fourth time, as at the time of the 1880 Census, his wife, age 36 and born in Georgia, was listed as Margaret.
In a letter from Nan McCoy Kittell to Melinda Strong on June 25, 1999, Nan wrote "that Ethel Dred Boyette was buried Spring Branch cemetery near Springfield LA with his 3rd wife; his parents believed to be Edward and Rebecca Boyett, Sr." She further wrote that "Boit" is the correct way to pronounce the name, although some family members use "Boy-ett."
He was shown as Edward at the time of the 1860 Census, as was his namesake son.
