He was the mayor of Kellogg for three terms and served several years on the town council. James was a Railroad employee. He was survived by his wife, Anna, and four children; Betsy Stuart, Earl, Charles and Harry. He was preceded in death by his son Jay. He also leaves one granddaughter, Lillie Boyle at Dyer, Tennessee. ============================================================ America is greatly indebted to the little Emerald isle for having sent such a myriad host of her best citizens to help us develop the Union. They have been coming to our shores since the colonial days and have settled in almost every County in our half hundred states and territories, devoting themselves to all lines of endeavor, and succeeding, too, at whatever they undertook. They have been loyal to our institutions and been ready upon all occasions to defend our flag in times of national peril; in short, we have no better foreign-born citizens than the Irish. One of this great number is James Boyle, farmer, of Kellogg, Jasper County, whose birth occurred in County Sligo, Ireland, December 25, 1848. He is the son of Patrick and Alice (Fitzpatrick) Boyle, both born in County Sligo, the father in 1820 and the mother in 1803. The father spent his entire life in his native country, dying in 1860 at the age of forty years; the mother came to America and her death occurred in Davenport, Iowa, at the advanced age of ninety-two years. For many years Patrick Boyle was a professor of various schools in Ireland, being a highly educated man and of excellent characteristics. His wife was a remarkable woman in many respects. There were seven children in their family, four sons and three daughters, namely: Michael, John, Patrick, James (of this review), Maggie, Kate and Mariah. James Boyle was ten years old when he immigrated to America. He remained in New York City until 1866, when he came west and secured employment as foreman on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad, on which he worked for a period of thirty-nine years in the same capacity, being regarded by the officials as one of the most efficient and faithful employees. Finally tiring of railroading, he purchased his present farm of sixty acres in sections 26 and 27, Kellogg Township, Jasper County. This land was bought by him in 1903, but he did not turn his attention to active farming until 1905, and since then he has devoted his attention exclusively to his place which, under, his able management, is yielding abundant harvests. He maintains his dwelling in the town of Kellogg. Mr. Boyle was married in 1875 to Anna McGuire, who was born in New York City in 1858, the daughter of Patrick McGuire, who was born in Donegal, Ireland, in 1828, and who died some ten years ago at the age of seventy-two years. Five children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Boyle, four sons and one daughter, namely: Earl, Jay, Charles, Harry and Bessie. Politically, Mr. Boyle is a Democrat, and a member of the Masonic order and Woodmen lodge. He is a worthy member of the Catholic Church. Past and Present of Jasper County Iowa B. F.
