While doing research today I found a March 23, 1900 deed in which Benjamin Graziani and his wife sold our home to G.F. Boughner. I found a small section written about him in History of Kentucky, Volume 5:
"The only child of John W. Boughner and wife is G.F. Boughner, who was born at Berlin, Bracken County, Kentucky, April 25, 1864, and has lived since infancy in Covington, where he attended the public schools, graduating from high school in 1881. He then took up the study of law with the firm of Carlisle, Goebel & Carlisle, later with Theodore F. Hallam and still later with L.E. Baker. For some fifteen years he was engaged in the leaf tobacco business, but since his admission to the bar in 1898 has been busy in his chosen profession, and throughout those years has had offices with B.F. Graziani at 508-510 Madison Avenue, Covington.
Mr. Boughner has been a member of the Scott Street Methodist Episcopal Church, South, for fifty years. He is a democrat but has never sought public office. He expressed his convictions during the war by putting all his available means at the service of the Government in the purchase of securities and in assisting committees to fill local quotas and gave a large amount of time to war work."

On another website I found that he also had a law office at 65 East Front Street and during his fifteen years in the tobacco business he had a company called G.F. Boughner Tobacco Leaf Company. Can't find much online about it.
