Franklin Columbus "Frank" Boyles was born on Apr. 7, 1871 on a farm in Laurel Hill, Lincoln Co., North Carolina. He was the son of Rev. Marcus Wrightman "M. W." Boyles (1842-1892) and Susan A. (Alice ?) Wood (1846-1895, the fourth of their ten known children. Frank's parents lived their entire lives in North Carolina and are buried in the Lexington City Cemetery in Lexington, Davidson Co., NC.

Frank's father, Marcus was the son of Rev. Josiah (aka Joseph) Adolphus Boyles (1816-1894) and Anna Elizabeth "Annie" Yount (1819-1905), both born in Lincoln Co., NC. They died in Morganton, Burke Co., NC where they are buried in the Salem Methodist Church Cemetery. It is interesting to note that Frank's father (Marcus), grandfather (Josiah) and great-grandfather (John) were all "old-time" Methodist preachers. Marcus was an active circuit riding preacher when he died (flu/pneumonia) in 1892.

Frank's mother, Susan, was born in/near Lincolnton, Lincoln Co., NC. She was the daughter of John Henry Wood (1810-1891) and Elizabeth Catherine "Katie" Bess (1818-1900), also born in Lincoln County. Both died in Lincolnton where they are buried there in the Zion Methodist Church Cemetery.

On Apr. 15, 1913 Frank married Myrtle "Myrtie" Ham (1887-1968). Frank was 42, Myrtle 25. Born in Mt. Olive, Wayne Co., NC, Myrtie was the daughter of North Carolina natives, Henry T. Ham (1851-1916) and Lucy Cox (1857-1922). Both of Myrtie's parents died in Greensboro, Guilford Co., NC where they are buried in the Green Hill Cemetery.

Frank and Myrtie were married for 40 years and had one son, Richard Frank "Dick" Boyles (1915-2006). He was married to Mary Frances Johnson (1925-2014 ) and they too, are buried in the Green Hill Cemetery.

Frank was a banker and highly successful businessman. A long time member of the West Market Street Methodist Episcopal (M.E.) Church, it was written before his death that Frank C. Boyles "...has identified himself with the movements and organizations that best express the ideals of American citizenship in the matter of education, morals and religion."

Frank died on May 3, 1953 in Greensboro at the age of 84. He is buried in the Green Hill Cemetery. Myrtie died on Mar. 21, 1968, also in Greensboro, at the age of 80. She too, is buried in the Green Hill Cemetery, next to her husband, Frank.
