"Maurice
Boyle, pioneer resident of Escanaba and for many years employed by the North-Western Railway Company here, passed away last night at a local hospital after a brief critical illness. Mr. Boyle had not enjoyed robust health for some time and had been at the hospital for several weeks, but his condition was believed to be improving, when complications developed on Monday and his death followed last night. The body was removed to the undertaking rooms of
Anderson &
Buchanan where it will be prepared for burial and will be taken today to the home of Mrs. J. J. Brown, 516 South Twelfth street, where it will remain until the hour of the funeral. Funeral services will probably be conducted over the body at St. Patrick's church on Saturday morning. Mr. Boyle was born in Ireland and after spending a few years at
Beaver Island came to Escanaba 35 years ago and had since continuously made this city his home. He was 89 years of age and was held in the highest respect by all who knew him. He served throughout the Civil war with the forces of the Union and was an active member of C. E. Smith post, G. A. R. of this city. He is survived by three daughters and one son who are: Mrs. J. J. Brown and Mrs. P. E. Gannon of this city; Mrs. M. S. Schultek, of Milwaukee, and
