JAMES T. BOYLE

     Deceased. Mr. Boyle will be remembered by many old settlers as a brother of
Mrs. J. L. Weythman of Monitor. A native of Illinois, his parents when he was
quite young removed to Adrian County, Missouri, where young Mr. Boyle grew to
manhood. On April 16, 1885, he was married to Miss Nancy M. Dye, near Florida,
Missouri. About two years after this event, the Boyles came to Washington
Territory, and lived for a short time near Seattle and thence removed to
Ellensburg where they resided until 1892, when they pitched their tent in the
new and noisy town or Wenatchee. During that year Mr. Boyle conducted a
flourishing laundry business, but with the boom colapse in the spring of 1893,
he found it expedient to seek a more populous center, and he chose the thriving
town of Leavenworth, where again he engaged in laundry work, which under his
good management reached successful proportions. He on his own resources
installed the first water system of Leavenworth, and in many ways furnished
evidence of a forward moving progressive citizen, who during his residence in
that town was given positions of trust and responsibility. He was justice of the
peace seven years. He was actively identified with the democratic party and was
a valuable asset to that political organization, which made him a candidate
for country commissioner in 1900, the first year of existence for Chelan County.
Mr. Boyle passed away in April, 1901, much regretted by a large circle of
friends and acquaintances. A little later, Mrs. Boyle with her eight children
removed to Bremerton, Washington. In the year 1920, Mrs. Boyle was married to J.
W. Phillips, of Bremerton. This couple find it a genuine pleasure to make an
occasional visit to the Wenatchee country.
